Release Date: 2025-03-02
In an effort to strengthen collaboration between the financial sectors of Hong Kong and Guangdong, representatives from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association (“HKSFPA”), including councilors and officers, undertook an inspection and exchange visit to Guangzhou and Nansha from February 26 to 28, 2025. This visit was strategically planned to establish communication channels with major institutions within the Greater Bay Area (“GBA”).
During the first day, the delegation explored key sites such as the Nansha Science Exhibition Hall, the Yuexiu International Finance Center in Nansha, the Guangzhou Institute of Software, Guangzhou Nansha Hengli Chamber of Commerce, and the Canton Data Exchange. On the final day, they visited the Guangzhou Futures Exchange to gain insights into the development of commodity futures in Guangzhou and engaged in discussions with the Securities & Futures Association of Guangdong. The discussions focused on critical topics, including the mutual recognition mechanism for qualifications of Hong Kong practitioners and investor education.
The visit was well-aligned with the GBA's policy directives on financial interconnectivity, aiming to enhance exchanges and learning between the financial sectors of Hong Kong and Guangdong. It aimed to foster a comprehensive understanding of each region's market environment, regulatory frameworks, and developmental needs, thereby promoting the deeper integration and collaborative growth of the financial industries across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region. The itinerary was executed well, and HKSFPA express our sincere appreciation to the Securities & Futures Association of Guangdong and the Guangzhou Nansha Association of Enterprises with Foreign Investment for their invaluable support.
