Hong Kong Chief Executive Policy Office Digital Finance Roundtable: Shifting from Financial Innovation to Serving the Real Economy and Promoting High-Quality Financial Development

BlockBeats News, February 9 — According to Sing Tao Headlines, the Hong Kong Chief Executive Policy Group held a Digital Finance Symposium on February 8, 2026. Participants included research teams from the People’s Bank of China Financial Research Institute, Yuanbi Technology Chairman of the Board, members of the Web3.0 Development Task Force, former Hong Kong Monetary Authority Chief Executive Norman Chan, and other experts. The meeting discussed how Hong Kong can leverage high-quality digital financial development to support the country’s goal of building a “Financial Powerhouse.” The focus was on three main areas: digital financial application scenarios, balancing regulation and innovative development, and connecting with mainland China’s digital financial infrastructure to achieve coordinated growth.

Chief Executive Policy Group Leader Huang Yuanshan stated that Hong Kong should seize the digital wave by promoting high-quality financial development to support the goal of becoming a financial powerhouse. Hong Kong has advantages in technological infrastructure, an active market, and a favorable policy environment. Digital financial applications should shift from financial innovation to serving the real economy, such as promoting asset tokenization to expand into real-world assets like precious metals and renewable energy, addressing issues like poor liquidity and cumbersome transactions in traditional assets.
