Committed to nurture future leaders in society, MPUP invites seasoned professionals from diversified public sectors to share their experience and insights with students from time to time.
Thanks to the
coordination by Dr Mark Michelson, teacher of MPUP5331
Government and the Economy, Dr. Rocky Tung (Director and
Head of Policy Research, Financial Services Development Council) was invited to
share about his observations on strategic directions of Hong Kong’s financial services
industry during the MPUP5331 class on 7 November 2022 (Mon).
Dr. Tung kick-started the session by introducing role of the Financial Services
Development Council as a cross-sectoral advisory body, to engage the financial
services industry in formulating policy proposals and work for the betterment
of Hong Kong as an International Financial Centre. Mr Tung said that Hong
Kong's financial centre status remains healthy. To his belief, fintech and
other virtual tech application like NFT are driving the financial industry to
move forward and the HKSAR government ought to include these changes.
Students enjoyed Mr. Tung’s insightful sharing and seized the opportunity to exchange ideas with Mr. Tung during the Q&A session.
