Coupled with the complex and changeable global political and economic environment, especially with the rise of the Trump administration in the United States, it will bring greater uncertainty. **It can be expected that 2025 will be a year of significant market volatility, with both challenges and opportunities.** Chan Mo-po indicated that benefiting from the strong support of the country, as well as Hong Kong's unique conditions and the unremitting efforts of the government and various sectors of society, there is a continuous deepening of the "connectivity" with the mainland capital markets and ongoing expansion of volume. The further enhancement of "connectivity" must consolidate the traditional European and American markets closely related to Hong Kong while also fully exploring new markets and new sources of funds. Hong Kong is also connected with various sectors in the Global South, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Central Asian countries. Last year, Hong Kong successfully listed two Hong Kong stock ETFs in Saudi Arabia. In addition, mainland enterprises are actively expanding their businesses overseas and deeply participating in the international division of labor and cooperation. Hong Kong can take the opportunity to become a multinational value-added supply chain management center and trade financing center, providing necessary funds and professional high-value-added service support for mainland enterprises going abroad, from supply point management, trade financing to cross-border settlement, as well as providing investment and risk management tools in different currencies. Hong Kong is injecting new momentum into its economy through innovation and technology. With strong support from the country, **Hong Kong is fully and rapidly building an international innovation and technology center**. In recent years, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government has also continuously strengthened systematic investment in innovation and technology. The innovation and technology industry ecosystem in Hong Kong is thriving, with recent introductions of key enterprise offices, the Innovation and Technology Bureau, the Invest Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Investment Company, all working hard to build a thriving ecosystem for artificial intelligence and data science, life and health technology, financial technology, and new energy, gathering relevant enterprises and talents ### Related Stocks - [AZN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AZN.US.md) - [000952.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000952.CN.md) - [300470.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/300470.CN.md) - [09983.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09983.HK.md) - [600755.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600755.CN.md) - [000425.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000425.CN.md) - [00762.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00762.HK.md) - [600415.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600415.CN.md) - [603506.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/603506.CN.md) - [06098.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/06098.HK.md) - [00669.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00669.HK.md) - [C76.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/C76.SG.md) - [06049.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/06049.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Boehringer again rises up rare disease reputation rankings](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296577935.md) - [SMCI Stock Alert: What to Know as Super Micro Computer Wraps Investigation](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296529809.md) - [AstraZeneca: Tagrisso Plus Orpathys Phase III Trial Shows PFS, OS Improvements In EGFRm Lung Cancer](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296071807.md) - [11:55 ETSino Biopharmaceutical Limited stellt neue globale Marke SBP Group vor, um die internationale Expansion zu beschleunigen](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296378456.md) - [CSPC Innovation Pharmaceutical: Biopharma licensing and product launches drove record revenue and profit growth](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296129143.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
