Redefining Hong Kong Series 2026: Budget Edition

ABOUT THE EVENT

As Hong Kong prepares its first budget under the National 15th Five-Year Plan, the stakes couldn’t be higher. How will the city deepen its integration with the Greater Bay Area and accelerate its transformation into a global hub for finance, innovation, and technology? What targeted measures will drive high-quality growth, attract top talent and capital and position Hong Kong as a “super connector” for global and Mainland opportunities?

With fiscal reserves projected at HK$654.8 billion and a stronger-than-expected economic rebound – highlighted by 3.2 per cent GDP growth and a booming IPO market – this budget is expected to priorities bold investments in capital markets, wealth management and the Northern Metropolis, all while addressing public calls for more livelihood support and actionable economic benefits.

What strategies will shape Hong Kong’s future? How can the city balance fiscal discipline with the need for transformative growth? And what opportunities will this budget unlock for businesses, investors, and individuals in Hong Kong? Join us for an exclusive discussion where leading experts will unpack the budget’s implications and share insights into Hong Kong’s evolving role as a global economic powerhouse. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation shaping the city’s future.
