Finance chief Paul Chan: APEC FMM helped attract capital into HK

Speaking on TVB's Straight Talk programme, Financial Secretary Paul Chan says the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting hosted by Hong Kong last week helped woo more capital inflows to the city.

PAUL CHAN: "We showcased to them, explained to them our development strategy about the five-year plan as well, given the global situation, they are seeking diversification, seeking investment opportunities. For example, one of the participants is AIIB Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. They indicate their interest in participating in our Northern Metropolis development as a catalyst to bring in other long-term capital."
