Gate News message, April 15 — Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated recently at the HSBC Global Investment Summit that Hong Kong’s economy is performing well, with three key growth drivers—exports, services, and goods trade—all showing strong performance. Private consumption remains steady and private investment is increasing. Despite trade tensions, Hong Kong’s goods exports recorded double-digit growth in the first two months of 2026 (January-February).
Chan noted that industrialists and traders have shifted their production and supply chains to Southeast Asia, allowing Hong Kong to benefit to some extent amid trade frictions. He also highlighted that Hong Kong’s stock market is performing very well under the current geopolitical environment, with a robust IPO pipeline of over 500 companies currently queuing for listing. Beyond IPOs, asset and wealth management, green finance, and digital assets are all thriving.
Chan emphasized that achieving rapid growth requires ensuring financial stability and security. He stated that the best defense is not just building buffers and introducing oversight, but growing, enhancing competitiveness, and scaling up to make Hong Kong an increasingly important global financial center. He concluded by saying, “If you want to invest in the future, invest in Hong Kong.”
