In response to media enquiries regarding the proposed remuneration adjustments set out in the Securities and Futures Commission’s (SFC) 2025/2026 budget, the SFC would like to reiterate that the proposal is subject to the approval of the SFC Board. No final decision has been made.
Faced with the challenges to Hong Kong’s financial markets in recent years, the SFC has adopted a prudent financial policy approach entailing identifying new sources of income, minimising expenditure and lowering cost, as well as optimising efficiency.
The SFC Board constantly reviews market conditions and the SFC’s financial conditions to facilitate and strike a balance between market developments and its regulatory works and will put forward suitable cost-cutting proposals where appropriate.
