Chairman Mr. Mofiz Chan delivered a New Year message for the Dragon Year.
February 9, 2024
Dear Repectful Members, Colleagues, and Friends,
As we close the chapter on the Year of the Rabbit and usher in the Golden Dragon emerging from the clouds, it is my privilege to extend heartfelt New Year greetings on behalf of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association as we prepare to embrace the Dragon Year.
Reflecting on the past year, we have faced the volatility of the market with resilience. The persistent fluctuations in the global economy have resulted in a sluggish investment environment in Hong Kong, with the securities sector facing ongoing challenges. Despite these hurdles, we have remained steadfast, unified in our efforts to propel the advancement of Hong Kong's financial market.
The dragon, a revered symbol in Chinese culture, embodies the industrious, courageous, resilient, honest, and harmonious spirit of our people. As we embark on the Dragon Year, buoyed by robust support from our nation, I am optimistic about the abundant business opportunities awaiting Hong Kong. We shall continue to harness the adaptability, diligence, and industrious nature of Hong Kong's people to seize these opportunities and ascend to unprecedented heights. In this era brimming with hope and challenges, we strive to elevate Hong Kong's financial market to shine even more brilliantly on the global stage.
In conclusion, I wish for the prosperity and strength of our nation, the sustained stability and growth of Hong Kong, and a thriving securities market teeming with opportunities. May you all embody the vitality of the dragon, achieve outstanding success in your endeavors, enjoy harmony and joy within your families, and possess health as robust as a dragon!
Warm regards,
Mofiz Chan
Chairman
Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association
