HKEX partnered with the Saudi Tadawul Group to host the inaugural international edition of the Capital Markets Forum (CMF) in Hong Kong, at HKEX Connect Hall today.
Themed "Powering Connections", CMF Hong Kong gathered over 650 high-profile financial leaders, regulators, investors, and corporates from Saudi Arabia, China, and Hong Kong, to discuss investment opportunities in their respective regions. Among the delegates, over 200 have come from Saudi Arabia.
HKEX Chief Executive Officer, Bonnie Y Chan, said: "CMF Hong Kong marks a significant step in furthering the strategic alliance between STG and HKEX, following the MOU the two exchanges signed in 2023. This inaugural international edition of CMF therefore not only underscores Hong Kong’s status as a leading international financial centre, but also fully aligns with HKEX’s ongoing commitment in strengthening dialogues, mobilising capital, and supporting innovation. After years of building connections with the Middle East, we are now in a strong position to move exploratory conversations to tangible results, between investors and corporates."
The main conference today covered a wide range of topics, including the role of capital markets in connecting opportunities around the world, and the cooperation among some of the world’s top financial markets.
In a panel discussion, HKEX Deputy Chief Executive Officer Wilfred Yiu joined other speakers to explore the investment potential in Saudi Arabia and China, and highlighted the unique role of Hong Kong in connecting capital with opportunities from both regions, supporting the development of these markets.
