In May 2021, Central Bank of China and China regulators have set a net cashflow movement between Mainland China and Hong Kong to not exceed $23.2 billion (CNY 150 billion) while the individual investor investment quota is set at $155,000 (CNY 1 million).
“ Launch of Wealth Management Connect: Greater Bay Area with $1.64 trillion GDP and Population of 71.2 million “
Chief Executive of the HKMA, Eddie Yue:
“The official launch of the Cross-boundary WMC marks another encouraging development of financial cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Individual investors in the three places will be able to make use of the convenient channel provided by the Cross-boundary WMC to invest in more diversified wealth management products across the boundary. The scheme will not only offer more investment options for individual GBA investors but also create new opportunities for the banking and wealth management industry in the three places.
In addition, it will promote the cross-boundary circulation and use of the renminbi (RMB), thereby further consolidating Hong Kong’s role as the global hub for offshore RMB.”
