We will continue to strengthen our collaborations with industry partners, regulators and other stakeholders to ensure that FinTech’s value-adding benefits are shared to bring greater economic value. This will reinforce Hong Kong’s standing as the FinTech hub of Asia and ensure our place in the new economy.”
