Hong Kong: AFF launches green finance year
13.01.2023
As a leading annual event returns to physical format, sustainability features strongly on the agenda, reflecting the importance the financial world places on the issue.
As a leading international financial hub Hong Kong keeps abreast of developments in the financial universe, and green finance has moved firmly into the spotlight. In his first Policy Address, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region chief executive John Lee said his administration would “develop green and sustainable finance – We will promote the development of Hong Kong as a premier financing platform for governments and green enterprises in the Mainland and around the world.
“We are also developing Hong Kong into an international carbon market, and will support HKEx to continue pursuing co‑operation with, among others, financial institutions in Guangzhou in carbon market development.” The Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council said the city is at the forefront of the global development of sustainable investing. “The city has a sizeable and rapidly growing green bond market, with US$57 billion originated in 2021, while the government is actively promoting the development of sustainable investment – in part by issuing its own green bonds, and at the same time nurturing a supportive regulatory environment.”
The Asian Financial Forum (AFF) is launching the financial event year this month and sustainable finance is a thread that runs through many of the discussions. The opening plenary session chaired by Christopher Hui, secretary for financial services and the treasury, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR) tackles the “polycrisis” that has beset the world in recent years, proposing cooperation amid suggestions that "de-globalisation" and "de-coupling" present the answer. This will be followed by a presentation on the Joint Research Paper on Financing the Corporate Transition to a Sustainable Future by PwC and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).
