Amid growing turmoil in the Middle East, capital is searching for safe havens. As the conflict between Iran and Israel disrupts financial hubs like Dubai, Hong Kong has bucked the trend by attracting over HK$300 billion in capital inflows. Despite some spreading a "Hong Kong is falling" narrative, the facts tell a different story: over 500 companies are queuing for listing on the HKEX, international firms are flocking to Hong Kong, and inquiries about family offices remain strong — Hong Kong's stability and rule of law are speaking through the data.
In this episode, Dr. Henry Ho will analyze Hong Kong's unique strengths in financial security and stability from three perspectives: from the appointment of Court of Final Appeal judges and the rule-based governance of the HKMA and SFC, to the strategic dividends of "one country, two systems." Why do Middle Eastern sovereign funds and family offices prefer the "absolute predictability" over chasing maximum returns? And how has Hong Kong become the only financial platform in the world that offers deep access to the Chinese market while adhering to international rules — through Stock Connect, Bond Connect, and Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect?
