A local family-run financial elite said earlier that Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center has been replaced by Singapore. He believes that some companies that use Hong Kong as the Asia-Pacific financial service center have left Hong Kong and may not return in the short term. Recently, these remarks that “Hong Kong has completely lost its status as a financial center” have become more and more vigorous, and they are “like layers”. People who don’t know enough regarding the financial industry will believe it when they hear more.
The Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, may be worried that a lot of delusions will turn into truth. Earlier on his blog, he said that the size of Hong Kong’s financial center has a significant advantage over Singapore. As Hong Kong develops and grows in the face of competition, we should not belittle ourselves or avoid our shortcomings. We only need to seek truth from facts and take targeted and effective countermeasures to further enhance the competitiveness of the financial market.
Chen Maobo listed some data to deny some vague impressions in the market, and it is worth citing in detail. He said that in 2020, the economic contribution of Hong Kong’s financial services market will be US$76 billion, while Singapore’s only US$49 billion, which is 1.5 times that of Singapore; the total market value of Hong Kong stocks last year was HK$42 trillion, 7 times higher than Singapore’s; Hong Kong listing There are 2,500 companies, which is 2.7 times higher than that of Singapore. The total turnover of Hong Kong stocks last year was 41 trillion Hong Kong dollars, while that of Singapore was only 1.9 trillion Hong Kong dollars. The turnover of Hong Kong stocks was more than 20 times higher than that of Singapore.
