SFC Regulatory Forum 2021

by Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)

The SFC Regulatory Forum 2021, organized by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong, convened on November 25, 2021, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This full-day event brought together over 1,100 leaders from the financial industry, listed companies, professional services firms, and industry associations to discuss Hong Kong's evolving role as an international financial center.

The forum featured five key panel discussions: perspectives on Hong Kong's future as an international financial center, its position as an international asset and wealth management center, deepening market connect schemes, fostering a high-quality listing market, and how law enforcement agencies are responding to shifts in the financial landscape. These sessions provided insights into the challenges and opportunities facing Hong Kong's financial markets.

Notable speakers included Mr. Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, who delivered the keynote address, and Mr. Tim Lui, Chairman of the SFC, who provided opening remarks. The event also offered networking opportunities for participants to engage with peers and industry leaders.

The forum was particularly relevant for financial professionals, regulators, and policymakers interested in understanding and shaping the future of Hong Kong's financial markets. Attendees gained valuable perspectives on regulatory developments and market trends impacting the region.
