Special Remarks At The Asian Financial Forum 20211, By Mr Ashley Alder, Chief Executive Officer, Hong Kong Securities And Futures Commission, 18 January 2021

Tonight I want to give you an update on what we are doing in Hong Kong in the vital area of environmental finance, and especially around climate change.

This effort was given fresh impetus last year when the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) set up a new cross-agency steering group to coordinate how we manage climate and environmental factors in the financial sector. This signified a major step change in the sustainable finance agenda for Hong Kong, complementing and supporting the Hong Kong Government’s broader climate strategies.
