HK can be all-round "super contact person" in regional cooperation: Leung Chun-ying

Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said Wednesday that Hong Kong can serve as a "super contact person" in various fields including economy, innovation and research.

Leung made the remarks at a economic and financial forum co-hosted by economic news agencies from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He said Hong Kong has a traditional advantage as it has an efficient capital market and a rich diversity of financing channels.

For Chinese mainland enterprises planning to explore the global market, or foreign enterprises willing to expand global business, Hong Kong can provide services in the fields of financing, capital management, infrastructure development, law and professional services, Leung said.

He said the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is now gearing up for the establishment of the Infrastructure Financing Facilitation Office in order to provide comprehensive financial services for "Belt and Road" projects.
