SFC top executives visit Saudi Arabia and UAE to foster financial services collaboration

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong, led by CEO Ms. Julia Leung and Executive Director Ms. Christina Choi, will be making their first official visit to the Middle East, traveling to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The aim of this visit is to strengthen collaboration in financial services between Hong Kong and these two key partners under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The SFC representatives plan to promote Hong Kong’s status as an international asset and wealth management hub, as well as its role as a global fundraising center, in order to facilitate mutual market developments. During their visit, Ms. Leung and Ms. Choi will meet with top executives of local financial regulators and stock exchanges, as well as industry stakeholders, to discuss the latest regulatory trends and market developments. They will also participate in roundtable discussions in Dubai and Riyadh with senior executives of major local asset managers and leading financial institutions. The SFC leadership believes this timely visit will help lay the foundation for stronger two-way investment flows between the financial markets of Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
