AIIB to open Hong Kong office

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will open an office in Hong Kong to serve its growing operations, with the city’s government vowing full support for the bank’s push to boost sustainable infrastructure in Asia.

Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu said Hong Kong, as an AIIB member, would help the AIIB leverage its vibrant capital markets, professional services, and diversified financial products to support project financing, bond issuance, and investment and financial management.

“We will continue to capitalise on Hong Kong’s connectivity with both the mainland and the world under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle, contributing to the AIIB’s long-term development,” Hui added.
