(10 September 2021) Luanne Lim, Chairperson, The Hong Kong Association of Banks, said, "As the premier international financial centre in Asia, Hong Kong is a trusted and natural gateway linking residents in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) to a world of personal wealth management opportunities. Over the past two years, banks in Hong Kong and the authorities have engaged collaboratively to ensure a smooth start for the first cross-boundary scheme focused on the GBA. As connectivity strengthens across the GBA, the banking industry will strive to enhance investor education, promote cross-boundary acceptance of qualifications and talent development. We are confident that Wealth Management Connect will become a popular choice among GBA investors, providing new impetus to the industry's growth."
