After Hong Kong topped the world's Initial Public Offering ranking in 2025, the government's Financial Services Development Council wants to bring in even more investors to the city.
Dr. Rocky Tung, the newly appointed Executive Director of the Council, said in TVB's Straight Talk programme that the city should broaden its arsenal both in terms of intermediaries and investment instruments by strengthening the bond market.
"What we can do, and it's very unique to Hong Kong, is our access to the southbound money from the Mainland. So it is necessary for us to find ways to make it easier for our Mainland investors to invest in these international companies. It's also necessary for us to think about how we can bring in more institutional monies. So we call it patient capital. What it is… is around insurance and also pension that we are aiming to bring more to Hong Kong.
As we look at it, we realize that these investors are focusing a lot on the fixed income market. Therefore, we need to find ways to issue more bonds that are fitting for their purposes."
