He pointed out that the convergence of traditional financial markets with cutting-edge fintech solutions will unlock unprecedented opportunities for businesses and investors. Hong Kong, with its leadership in both spheres, is set to reach new heights in fintech innovation, driven by the development of innovative financial technologies and expansion into new markets. He also eagerly anticipates the valuable contributions from the HKUST Institute for Financial Research in advancing the understanding of how emerging technologies can enhance the financial services sector … … Marking the launch of the Institute was an inaugural summit themed “A New Era of Global Finance: Challenges, Opportunities and Innovation” attended by some 200 government officials, business leaders, industry experts, alumni, and academics. The summit featured keynote speeches on the Chinese Economy and the Indian Economy, delivered by Prof. JIN Keyu, Chinese economist and Professor of London School of Economics and Political Science, and Prof. Krishnamurthy SUBRAMANIAN, Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund and Former Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India, respectively.    The summit also saw insightful exchanges in two Frontier Dialogue Sessions.

HKUST President Prof. Nancy Ip: “In this era of global economic uncertainty, Hong Kong faces many challenges. There is intense competition from other Asian financial hubs, as well as uncertainty from shifting geopolitical dynamics. However, the rapid development of new technologies and the rise in global sustainability efforts offer new opportunities for growth and innovation. To strengthen its position as an international financial center, Hong Kong must embrace these challenges and opportunities. We have established the HKUST Institute for Financial Research to support this important endeavor.”

Prof. Hui Kai‐Lung, Acting Dean of Business and Management of HKUST: “Combining the University’s academic and research excellence, the new Institute has an edge to develop research initiatives that can create value for regional social and economic development. Through collaborative research with international scholars in different disciplines, and engagement with industry partners, regulators and other stakeholders, the Institute aspires to empower financial innovation leveraging emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and data science.”

Prof. Lou Dong, Director of the Institute and Associate Dean of Business and Management (Strategic Planning and Research) of HKUST: “The increasingly complex economic landscape makes traditional methodologies in financial research unfit to analyze and tackle the pressing societal problems of today. This calls for an interdisciplinary practice in conducting financial research, borrowing heavily from other disciplines like statistics, environmental science, information systems, political science, and social psychology. To this end, an interdisciplinary approach forms the backbone of the Institute’s research and innovation.”
