The Zhitong Finance App learned that Hong Kong's Financial Secretary Chen Maobo said in his speech at the 2026 Asian Insurance Forum that Hong Kong will strengthen the regulatory and capital base of the insurance industry, expand the securities market linked to shipping, emerging industries and insurance, and enhance the competitiveness of international risk management centers. The authorities are studying legislation to introduce a “protected unit company” structure to allow multiple transactions to be carried out within the same company, while legally separating the respective assets and liabilities, simplifying related arrangements and reducing set-up costs.
