Hong Kong maintained the fourth place globally in a financial centers index published Thursday by British and Chinese think tanks, as the unique advantages of being backed by the motherland and connected to the world bolstered the financial hub's resilience.
The Global Financial Centers Index (GFCI) 35 report, released by British think tank Z/Yen Group and the China Development Institute in Shenzhen, assessed a total of 121 financial centers around the world.
In response to the report, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said that Hong Kong has been striving to align with the national development strategies and serve as an important node in the dual circulation of domestic and international markets.
The city will hold a series of financial events next week, including the highly acclaimed Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit exclusively for family offices, which are expected to further showcase the strengths, development potential and investment opportunities of Hong Kong as an international financial center.
