No one can accurately predict what a post-COVID-19 world will look like. But Charles Li, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), believes that Hong Kong will continue to be the trusted connector between China and the rest of the world.
“We have and will continue to do well because investors and companies are convinced that, no matter what happens, we remain the go-to global marketplace in Asia,” Li says.
Li notes that Hong Kong has weathered previous challenges such as SARS and the financial crisis, and these events have demonstrated the city’s remarkable resilience.
“Hong Kong’s legacy is one of constant re-invention, adaptability, and resilience, and it has proved it possesses these strengths many times in the past,” he says.
Li says that HKEX will continue to act as a bridge between China and the world, and will ensure that Hong Kong remains the leading global market in the Asian time zone.
