Hong Kong to unveil roadmap for fixed income, currency markets

Hong Kong will announce a roadmap for developing its fixed income and currency markets later on Thursday, covering primary issuance, secondary market liquidity, offshore yuan business and next-generation infrastructure, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said.

The roadmap reflects the shared commitment between the government and the market to strengthen Hong Kong’s role as a major fixed income and currency centre, ensuring competitiveness, inclusiveness and global connectivity, Chan said at the Hong Kong Fixed Income and Currency Forum.

He said the forum was taking place at a timely moment, as geopolitical tensions and rising unilateralism drive global investors to diversify their portfolios. Renewed optimism toward Chinese technology firms such as DeepSeek had also reignited confidence in the country’s innovation and investment prospects, he added.

Chan described Hong Kong as both a safe haven and a resource hub for investors, saying capital inflows and the stock market’s performance highlight the momentum.
