The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Mr Chan Mao-po, recently wrote that since this year, global capital flows have confirmed that international investors' confidence in the Hong Kong financial market has been further strengthened, and Hong Kong's asset and wealth management business has also seen steady growth. As of the end of March this year, the number of registered funds in Hong Kong reached 976, and recorded a net inflow of over US$44 billion year-on-year, an increase of 285%. It is expected that within two to three years, Hong Kong will become the world's largest cross-border asset management center; the number of people involved in the financial industry is also on the rise. Since this year, individuals and institutions applying for licences under the Securities and Futures Ordinance have recorded a double-digit increase compared to the same period last year.
