					<span style="font-size: 12pt">Co-organised with: </span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://iffo.org.hk/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="https://info.hktdc.com/eDM/2024Q1/beltandroadsummit/pdf/2020/programme/IFFO.jpg" height="35pt"></a><br><br>

<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">In times of disruption, sustainable investment that is well-planned and future-focused is likely to be more resilient to climate and economic impacts. Investment in resilience is also cost-effective. According to the World Bank, developing countries alone could see US$4.2 trillion of benefit from investing in more resilient infrastructure – a return of $4 for every $1 invested.  It is thus crucial to facilitate more capital flows towards sustainable and resilient projects in emerging markets, especially as post-Covid-19 economic recovery has offered an invaluable chance for countries to “build back better”. </p>
				<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">The HKMA has been at the forefront of accelerating the growth of green and sustainable finance. In May 2020, HKMA together with 6 local regulatory bodies established a Cross-Agency Steering Group to co-ordinate the management of climate and environmental risks to the financial sector in Hong Kong.  </p>
				<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">The Centre for Green Finance (CGF), an initiative launched under the HKMA Infrastructure Financing Facilitation Office (IFFO), will serve as the focal point for capacity building and experience sharing, will also be responsible for promoting capacity and expertise in Green Finance. As a leading green and sustainable finance centre in Asia and globally, Hong Kong is well positioned to facilitate investments and financing into sustainable and resilient projects.  </p>
				<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">This panel, comprising public and private stakeholders along the investment value chain, will look into the importance of environment and resilience considerations in green financing and share best practices and experience. </p>

					<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic is causing far-reaching uncertainty over global economy, including that of the Belt and Road Initiative. Infrastructure and construction projects, as well as production work in the region have been substantially halted due to lockdowns, travel restrictions and disruptions to supply chains. These call into question as to how growth can sustain and recovery be achieved. Equally important is how countries can continue to benefit from and contribute to the development of Belt and Road. </p>
					
					<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">The financial services industry of Hong Kong has been demonstrating a high level of resilience since the pandemic outbreak. This session will look into how Hong Kong can sustain and strengthen its role as a financing centre for the Belt and Road by unlocking new opportunities for long-term growth and improving resilience to cope with challenges ahead. It aims to explore:  <ul ><li style=" color: #4764AE">the business opportunities of asset and wealth management along the Belt and Road; 
					</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">how FinTech can boost financial inclusion and aid recovery in the Belt and Road;</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">policy and regulatory support to drive and enable robust growth; and 
</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">sustainable development of the Belt and Road.

				<br>
					<p style="text-justify: distribute; text-align: justify;">This thematic breakout session intends to discuss the implications of the latest macro environment on the Belt and Road Initiative (“BRI”) and how Hong Kong can sustain its risk management role under the new trend, with a focus on the following issues: <ol ><li style=" color: #4764AE">Amidst increasing uncertainties due to COVID-19 pandemic, global economic downturn and intensified geopolitical tensions earmarked by US-China animosity, what is the new risk landscape for Mainland enterprises investing in overseas BRI projects?  
				</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">What would the return of US-listed Chinese companies to HK/China markets and the "dual circulation" strategy mean for China’s outward foreign investment under BRI?
</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">What could be done to strengthen the attributes of Hong Kong’s financial services sector for BRI by integrating the value propositions of banking and the (re)insurance sectors in enterprise financing and risk transfer, and by improving Hong Kong’s position as a treasury centre for Mainland enterprises?
</li><li style=" color: #4764AE">How do we make BRI a sustainable growth driver for Hong Kong? Do we have the right solutions?
