# Industry experts: The value of Hong Kong as a financial hub continues to stand out

On March 23, the Milken Institute, an American economic think tank, held the third Global Investment Summit in Hong Kong. Several international investors from different fields expressed in interviews with China News Service reporters that the value of Hong Kong as an international financial center continues to stand out, and international capital is accelerating its layout in the Chinese mainland market through Hong Kong.

"Many who were previously pessimistic about China are now flying over personally and realizing that it has been underestimated too much," observed Zhang Yongkang, Chairman and CEO of Yongtong Capital. Family offices from the Middle East, India, and other countries and regions are intensively visiting Hong Kong, conducting in-depth investigations in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and core cities in the mainland. The attitude of foreign capital is shifting from wait-and-see to substantial layout.

Financial practitioner Ameer Ibrahim bluntly stated that AI (artificial intelligence) has become the main focus of asset allocation, with a surge in computing power demand further driving up energy demand. The uncertainty of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East is pushing funds to seek stable allocation locations. Cooperation between East Asia and the Middle East is deepening, and cross-border capital flows are becoming increasingly frequent. Hong Kong, with its institutional advantages, capital freedom, and regional connectivity, has become an important hub for accommodating Middle Eastern capital.

Anmol Goel, CEO of Gacs Family Office, stated that the current global market is full of uncertainties, and the significant fluctuations in precious metal prices have prompted family offices to prioritize safety and stability.

He mentioned that the reason Hong Kong attracts global long-term capital lies in its stable rule of law, safe and free capital flow, efficient and convenient business environment, and close ties with markets such as ASEAN. At the same time, Hong Kong has flexible mechanisms for establishing family offices, making it more friendly to international capital. (End)
