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.
