Hong Kong and Dubai, as the sustainable finance hubs in Asia and the Middle East, and the key gateways between East and West, can and should do more together. The inaugural conference is our first effort to build a ‘Net-zero Asia – Middle East Corridor’. I look forward to many more fruitful collaborations between the HKMA and the DFSA.”
Ian Johnston, Chief Executive of the DFSA: “As we strive to achieve net-zero targets, it is crucial to establish strong partnerships that allow for the exchange of expertise, regulatory alignment, and the promotion of sustainable investment opportunities. The signing of this MOU with the HKMA represents a pivotal step in reinforcing the cooperation between Dubai and Hong Kong in climate finance. Through its ambitious Economic Agenda D33, Dubai is committed to leading the charge on environmental, social, and governance initiatives. Today’s signing is a testament to our shared ambition with Hong Kong to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon economy.”
