“We are open to cooperation with regional and global regulators on fintech,” the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said in a statement, adding it would be entering into new regulatory cooperations shortly. |
According to the Reuters reported last year, the lack of regulatory clarity has meant some aspiring fintech firms have struggled to gain licenses in markets like Hong Kong. Now Government has launched a raft of initiatives to grab a slice of the US$100 billion invested in financial technology globally.
Recently, Hong Kong SFC has signed a Co-operation Agreement with ASIC which provides a framework for cooperation to support and understand financial innovation in each economy.
How will SFC inspire the fintech sector in Hong Kong?
