I know that his deep insights and his superb leadership skills, coupled with his wide-ranging experience in financial reporting, will be critical in strengthening the vibrancy and attractiveness of Hong Kong's capital markets, and I very much look forward to collaborating with Kelvin and his team to achieve even more successes for our IFC.”
