上月，JDC Lab 創辦人兼行政總裁袁伯恒先生應邀出席證券商協會主辦的2026交流酒會，與一眾業界翹楚圍繞香港作為國際金融中心的定位、大灣區融合所帶來的戰略機遇，以及國家持續對外開放所釋放的政策紅利，進行了坦誠而富有建設性的交流。大家一致認同香港若要在新一輪全球金融格局重構中站穩腳跟，就必須主動出擊，全力把握粵港澳大灣區建設與國家高水平對外開放所帶來的歷史性機遇，讓市場的內在動能真正澎湃起來。
Last month, Mr. Patrick Yuen, Founder and CEO of JDC Lab, was invited to attend networking event 2026 hosted by The Institute of Securities Dealers, where he and a host of industry leaders engaged in candid and constructive exchanges on Hong Kong’s positioning as an international financial centre, the strategic opportunities brought about by Greater Bay Area integration, and the policy dividends released by the country’s continued opening-up. All unanimously agreed that if Hong Kong is to hold its ground in the new round of global financial restructuring, it must take the initiative, fully seize the historic opportunities brought about by the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the country’s high-level opening-up, and truly unleash the market’s intrinsic momentum.
眾所周知，證券業是香港金融體系的核心支柱，不僅承載著資本配置、價格與風險管理的關鍵功能，更是連接內地與全球市場的重要橋樑。然而，面對國際競爭加劇、科技變革加速以及投資者的需求日益多元，香港證券業不能故步自封。大家普遍認為，監管優化與減負增效必須同步推進，既要維護市場的公平、透明與穩定，也要避免過度規管扼殺創新力。
The securities industry is undeniably a core pillar of Hong Kong’s financial system. It not only bears the key functions of capital allocation, pricing and risk management, but also serves as an important bridge connecting the mainland with global markets. However, in the face of intensifying international competition, accelerating technological change and increasingly diverse investor needs, Hong Kong’s securities industry cannot rest on its laurels.
在此基礎上，全速推進產品與服務的創新，才是突圍而出的關鍵。無論是跨境財富管理、ESG投資產品、數字資產合規化，還是與大灣區互聯互通機制深化相關的金融工具，都蘊藏著巨大的發展空間。香港絕對有條件、也有責任打造一個更具活力的國際資產財富管理中心，讓全球資本在這裡找到高效、安全且多元的資產配置渠道。
On this basis, fully accelerating innovation in products and services is the key to breaking through. Whether it is cross-border wealth management, ESG investment products, the compliance-based development of digital assets, or financial instruments related to deepening the Greater Bay Area mutual access mechanisms, all contain enormous room for development. Hong Kong is fully capable of, and indeed has the responsibility to, build a more dynamic international asset and wealth management centre, enabling global capital to find efficient, secure and diversified asset allocation channels here.
酒會尾聲，眾人紛紛表示，期望未來能有更多這樣高質量的交流平台，讓業界不同持份者，包括券商、資產管理機構、金融科技企業、監管機構及學術界能夠凝聚共識，共同為香港金融業的長遠發展謀劃出路。畢竟，金融業的競爭力從來不是單靠某一間機構或某一位領袖，而是需要整個生態系統的協同努力。只要業界齊心協力，香港定能在變局中開新局，繼續鞏固其國際金融中心的地位，並為國家金融開放與大灣區融合貢獻獨特力量。
At the end of the reception, everyone expressed the hope that there would be more such high-quality exchange platforms in the future, allowing different stakeholders in the industry, including securities firms, asset management institutions, fintech enterprises, regulators and academia, to build consensus and jointly chart a way forward for the long-term development of Hong Kong’s financial industry. After all, the competitiveness of the financial industry can never be achieved by any single institution or any single leader alone; it requires the collaborative efforts of the entire ecosystem. As long as the industry works together with one heart, Hong Kong will certainly be able to open a new chapter amid changing circumstances, continue to consolidate its status as an international financial centre, and contribute its unique strength to the country’s financial opening-up and Greater Bay Area integration.
