HKMA hosts fourth Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit

The main session of the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit (Summit), organised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), successfully concluded today (4 November). The event brought together approximately 300 global financial leaders, including over 100 group chairmen or CEOs.

The theme of this year’s Main Summit is “Trekking through Shifting Terrain”.  Mr He Lifeng, Vice Premier of the State Council, delivered an opening keynote at the Main Summit by video.  It was followed by discussions on key recent developments in global economy and trade, financial markets, as well as technology and innovation.  Speakers focused on how the global financial community can navigate through the shifting landscape to capture opportunities, while staying vigilant of the evolving risks.

Mr Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA, said, “This is the fourth consecutive year that the HKMA is hosting the Summit.  The Summit has now matured into a forum that brings together global financial leaders to share insights and learn from each other, leveraging the collective wisdom to trek through the shifting terrain of macroeconomic, market and technological changes and uncertainties.”

The event attracted global financial leaders across a wide range of sectors, including banks, securities firms, asset owners, asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, hedge funds and insurers. The event was also live-streamed and replay is available on the HKMA's website.

The three-day Summit commenced with a welcome dinner at the Hong Kong Palace Museum yesterday (3 November) and will conclude tomorrow (5 November) with the "Conversations with Global Investors" investment forum co-organised by the HKMA, the Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Academy of Finance.
