Hong Kong is playing host to the International Financial Leaders' Investment Summit.

In his speech, Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng expresses hope that the city will seize new opportunities and further align with China's economic and financial development under the 15th Five-Year Plan.

Now in its fourth year, the International Financial Leaders' Investment Summit brings together around 300 global financial leaders. 

Delivering a keynote via video link, Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng highlighted the resilience and vitality of China's economy with Hong Kong continuing to play a vital role in national development. 

He Lifeng says the 15th Five-Year Plan proposal sets out specific strategic directions for Hong Kong.

He hopes Hong Kong will seize the opportunity and strengthen cooperation with the mainland while further consolidating its status as an international financial, shipping, trade and innotech hub, and contributing even more to the country's overall development.

Chief Executive John Lee says despite global uncertainties, Hong Kong still presents abundant investment opportunities.

CE John Lee: "I'm pleased to say, it puts us No.1 in IPO fundraising worldwide. Meanwhile, Hong Kong is poised to become the world's largest cross-boundary wealth management centre in the next few years. To fast track that development, we are enhancing the preferential tax regimes for funds, single-family offices and carried interest, to make the sector all the more attractive."

Lu Lei, Deputy Governor of the People's Bank of China says the mainland would continue to deepen 
market connectivity with the SAR, further enhance financial support for the Greater Bay Area and improve cross-border financing convenience.

Vice Minister of the National Financial Regulatory Administration Zhou Liang said China is the world's largest credit market and second-largest insurance market, and that authorities will deepen financial cooperation 
between the mainland and Hong Kong.

China Securities Regulatory Commission Vice-Chairman Li Ming says mainland firms listing in Hong Kong 
would enhance the city's global competitiveness, with complementary strengths between the two capital markets.
