Hong Kong's Future

In the past 25 years, Hong Kong has become an international financial powerhouse aided by the unique transformation of China. However, given recent challenges and the rise of competitor cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai and Singapore, there is a pressing need for Hong Kong to reinvent itself to remain relevant, competitive and fit for the future.

This panel will provide an insight into the global shifts that are taking place and how Hong Kong’s role is changing. The panel will also discuss the plans of the Central Government and how they will shape the development and the future of Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and beyond.
