The main session of the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit, organised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), was held successfully today, bringing together about 300 global financial leaders, including over 100 group chairmen or chief executive officers.

The theme of this year's main summit was “Trekking through Shifting Terrain”, and State Council Vice Premier He Lifeng delivered an opening keynote at the main summit by video.

It was followed by discussions on key recent developments in global economy and trade, financial markets as well as technology and innovation. Speakers focused on how the global financial community can navigate through the shifting landscape to capture opportunities, while staying vigilant of the evolving risks.

The event attracted global financial leaders across a wide range of sectors, including banks, securities firms, asset owners, asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, hedge funds and insurers.

The three-day summit commenced with a welcome dinner at the Hong Kong Palace Museum yesterday and will conclude tomorrow with the “Conversations with Global Investors” investment forum co-organised by the HKMA, the Securities & Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Academy of Finance.
