Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the inaugural Hong Kong Fixed Income and Currency (FIC) Forum, jointly hosted by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
Despite today’s shift to a virtual format due to inclement weather, we remain deeply grateful for the steadfast support of the Financial Secretary of HKSAR Government, The Honourable Paul Chan, Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China, Mr Zou Lan and all our esteemed guest speakers. Your unwavering commitment energises this forum and underscores the importance of today’s agenda.
The SFC is very pleased to partner with the HKMA to spearhead the development of Hong Kong’s FIC market, as highlighted in the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address. As an integral part of an international financial centre, fixed income and currency markets are indispensable instruments for risk management and resilience building. Today’s forum exemplifies Hong Kong’s hallmark resilience amid volatility and a collective resolve to advance our FIC ecosystem. The strong online participation today reinforces the sector’s strategic role in forging an all-weather approach to unforeseen challenges.
Today, allow me to spotlight the significant growth opportunities across three key market pillars — issuers, investors, and intermediaries — whom I would call the three I’s.
