Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, emphasized the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and blockchain on financial markets in his latest essay, "Contributing to the Construction of a Financial Powerhouse." Chan noted that these technologies are not only revolutionizing technical tools but are also reshaping capital flows and the boundaries of financial services, presenting new opportunities for market development. Hong Kong is actively working to establish fixed income, money markets, commodities, and digital assets as robust growth pillars, aiming to build a more resilient and comprehensive financial ecosystem.
