Hosting the Symposium in our home city demonstrates the enduring strength and resilience of its markets, as well as the integral role that it plays in shaping the future of global finance. This event presents us with a unique opportunity to bring Asian perspectives to the forefront, and we look forward to furthering our collaboration with international partners to explore solutions to key global issues.”
Matthew Blake, Head of the Centre for Financial and Monetary Systems, World Economic Forum: “With the world today facing significant uncertainty due to geopolitical, technological, and economic shifts, it’s essential leaders in financial services come together to address these challenges. As a critical bridge to APAC, a region home to 60% of the world’s population and accounting for US$40 trillion in GDP, Hong Kong is an ideal location to host the World Economic Forum’s inaugural Centre for Financial and Monetary Systems 2025 Symposium.”
Bonnie Y Chan, CEO of HKEX: “Asia’s extraordinary growth has helped position the region as a leading global economic powerhouse, propelled by China’s advancements in innovation and sustainability. As a key financial market infrastructure, HKEX is committed to connecting global capital with the region’s opportunities, which is more important than ever in our rapidly changing world. Today’s discussions are an important reminder of the significance of continued dialogue and connectivity, and we look forward to working closely with the World Economic Forum to bring global conversations to Asia and driving sustainable progress in the financial services sector.”
