It has nurtured exceptional business leaders for Hong Kong, Mainland China and the global community, while producing cutting-edge research that advances the development of the business sector, making significant contributions to the finance industry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The forum, organised by CUHK Business School and the China International Finance Forum, centred on the theme \u201cTowards the Future of Hong Kong as an International Financial Centre\u201d. The event brought together government officials, renowned industry professionals and think tank experts from at home and abroad to discuss the prospects for Hong Kong\u2019s financial development. More than a hundred academics, doctoral and master\u2019s students, and business leaders took part.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Mr Paul Chan Mo-po, GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR<\/strong> and an alumnus of CUHK Business School, mentioned in his keynote speech that, under the impact of geopolitical factors, the government will strive to bolster the confidence of European and American investors, open up new capital sources including those from the Middle East, and capitalise on the opportunities arising from green development and the digital economy. He commented, \u201cAs we look ahead to the future, we are confident in the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. With a vast hinterland in the Mainland, we can leverage steadfast support from the country, international institutional advantages under the \u2018One Country, Two Systems\u2019 principle and cultural advantages.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Dr Norman Chan Tak-lam, GBS, JP, Council Vice-Chairman of CUHK<\/strong>, added in his welcome speech: \u201cThe world order is swiftly evolving. Recent developments in capital flows from Europe and the US might not always be in our favour, suggesting the need for corresponding adjustments at the intersection of domestic and international circulations in the Mainland. Nonetheless, Hong Kong remains an efficient and secure connecting platform. Integration with the Greater Bay Area and mutually beneficial development will provide endless opportunities for the future.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>During the forum, guests shared insights into Hong Kong\u2019s development as a financial centre. <strong>Mr Andrew Sheng, former Chairman of The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, <\/strong>emphasised the need to reinforce Hong Kong\u2019s status as an offshore RMB centre for Mainland and global growth. <strong>Dr Li Kou-qing, Director of the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office<\/strong>, stressed regional cooperation in the Asia Pacific region. <strong>Professor Kuan Chung-ming, former President of Taiwan University<\/strong>, suggested learning from regional competitors.\u00a0<strong>Dr Zhang Yan-sheng, Secretary General of the Academic Committee of China\u2019s National Development and Reform Commission<\/strong>, highlighted green finance opportunities; and <strong>Mr Qiao Yi-de, Vice-Chairman and Secretary-General of the Shanghai Development Research Foundation<\/strong>, attributed Hong Kong\u2019s success to its renowned brand.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Professor Zhou Lin, dean of CUHK Business School<\/strong>, expressed gratitude to the guests for sharing their thought-provoking insights, which are invaluable to education, research and business. \u201cAs we conclude CUHK Business School\u2019s 60<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary celebrations\u201d, he remarked, \u201cour achievements today are the result of the collective efforts of all members of the School throughout the years. As we embark on a new journey of transformation, vigorously contributing to the future development of CUHK and the global economy, your unwavering support is pivotal.
