The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission today announced a strategic action plan to support the implementation of the “Hong Kong First Five-Year Plan” and the 2026 “Policy Address”. Through a series of short, medium and long-term measures, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will promote the high-quality development of Hong Kong's capital market and further strengthen Hong Kong's competitive advantage as an international financial center. The programme also strives to match the direction of the country's “15th Five-Year Plan” and enhance Hong Kong's unique role in the country's financial openness and high-level opening-up to the outside world. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission believes that the “Hong Kong First Five-Year Plan” and “Policy Address” provide a clear direction for the future development of Hong Kong's financial market. As a market regulator and market development promoter, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will actively support the SAR government in promoting high-quality financial development, and work with the industry to transform policy direction into market results to enhance the depth, breadth and international competitiveness of Hong Kong's financial market. As far as strengthening Hong Kong's position as a global offshore RMB business hub, Dr. Wong Tin Yew, Chairman of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, said, “Hong Kong has always been a unique and trustworthy bridge between mainland China and the world. Our mission is to further consolidate and enhance this unique advantage, so that Hong Kong can better serve the overall development of the country while creating value for global investors and the real economy.” “Our strategic action plan is not only a positive response to the development direction of the national and SAR government, but also an important blueprint for the long-term development of Hong Kong's capital market. “By consolidating our traditional advantages, nurturing new growth drivers, and continuously improving market quality and integrity, we are confident that we will further enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness and appeal as an international financial center.” Huang Tianyou added, “The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will lay the foundation for deepening the breadth and depth of Hong Kong's RMB ecosystem, continue to optimize connectivity mechanisms, promote market innovation, and further strengthen the international competitiveness of Hong Kong's capital market by improving market efficiency and liquidity.” Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission Chief Executive Leung Fung-yee said, “As the Hong Kong capital market enters a new stage of development, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will strengthen communication and cooperation with industry stakeholders to ensure that market participants fully understand the regulatory requirements and development direction. We will also deepen cooperation with mainland and overseas regulators to jointly promote cross-border market connectivity and financial innovation.” Leung added, “While promoting market development, we will continue to adhere to our core mission of maintaining market quality, integrity and investor protection. Financial security is an important foundation for the sustainable development of the market, so the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will make good use of advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to enhance risk monitoring, supervision and enforcement capabilities to support the steady development of the Hong Kong financial market.”
