Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui concluded his visit to Jakarta by meeting Financial Services Authority of Indonesia Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Mahendra Siregar today.

They shared insights on boosting the development of virtual assets and other new financial products. Mr Hui also introduced a training programme targeting senior executives from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries to be piloted by the Financial Services Development Council of Hong Kong with the Hong Kong Securities & Investment Institute in early 2025.

Senior executives from Indonesia will be among the first batch of participants to be invited to join the programme to gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's value propositions as an international financial centre through expert-led sessions and visits to key public sector stakeholders.

Yesterday, Mr Hui attended a lunch seminar to promote Hong Kong's advantages as a leading family office hub. He highlighted the city’s readiness to support family offices and investors, adding that the dedicated team from Invest Hong Kong will provide one-stop services to them.

During his visit to Indonesia, Mr Hui also met financial officials and stakeholders in the banking and fintech sectors, and called on Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Wang Lutong.

The financial services chief invited Indonesian fintech companies to send representatives to Hong Kong to witness the thriving energy of the local fintech and grasp the opportunities of mutually beneficial collaboration.
