HK SFC sets out three-year strategic priorities
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today releases its Strategic Priorities for 2024-2026, setting out its approach to developing Hong Kong's securities markets, addressing risks and protecting investors.
Recognising the shifts in capital market conditions and the challenges brought about by the evolving global landscape as well as technological advances, the SFC is committed to continuing to facilitate market development as well as safeguarding the integrity and quality of the Hong Kong markets.
In the coming three years, the SFC will strive to:
·maintain market resilience and mitigating serious harm to our markets;
·enhance the global competitiveness and appeal of the Hong Kong capital markets;
·lead financial market transformation through technology and ESG; and
·enhance institutional resilience and operational efficiency.
Mr Tim Lui, the SFC’s Chairman, said: “With this roadmap, the Commission is now better placed than ever to respond robustly and creatively to new regulatory challenges at home and abroad and to shape market developments. In particular, we are committed to playing an even more active part in further strengthening Hong Kong’s unique role as a gateway to the Mainland and positioning the city as an offshore hub for RMB businesses and risk management, as well as supporting national development and safeguarding financial security.”
Ms Julia Leung, the SFC's Chief Executive Officer, said: “The Commission would be on a stronger footing to keep investors out of harm's way and bring wrongdoers to justice when financial crimes nowadays come in any shape and form, as well as to bring the full range of resources and tools at its disposal to achieve positive regulatory outcomes.”
“At the same time, the public and stakeholders would better understand the SFC's regulatory objectives and policies at a time when clarity and certainty are valued in a fast-changing global environment,” she added.
