Supported by the Financial Markets Committee
Join us for a breakfast with Charles Li, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX).
Charles Li will share his thoughts on role that Hong Kong’s capital markets can play in the context of the current fast changing macro political, economic and business environment. He will look at Hong Kong’s role in global financial markets, its international competitive positioning, the opportunities that the Greater Bay Area will bring for Hong Kong, and the role of technology in the future of financial services. He will set out his strategic thinking on how HKEX can continue to act as a connector between East and West, and why Hong Kong’s financial services industry is more relevant than it has ever been.
