Hong Kong’s monetary authority, the HKMA, has unveiled a strategic plan to advance its fintech initiatives, fueling growth in the digital economy. The focus is on developing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and bolstering data infrastructure. Despite the announcement of new policy initiatives, market reactions remain muted as responses are still being formulated. While details about these strategies are yet to be fully explored, they reflect Hong Kong’s intention to maintain its leading role in the global fintech landscape. The HKMA’s ‘Fintech 2025’ strategy serves as a roadmap for future progress. This strategy will foster interoperable blockchain assets and greater fintech integration, while promoting the development of an advanced digital economy.
