Heavyweights from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will be among about 300 global bankers who will descend on Hong Kong next month, as the city’s monetary authority taps the world’s top financial minds for opportunities amid economic and political complexities in a post-Covid-19 world.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the city’s de facto central bank, is organising the second edition of its Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit from November 6 to 8, with a welcome dinner at the Palace Museum and a two-day conference to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel.
About 90 top-level executives such as CEOs and chairmen are expected at this year’s event, more than double 2022’s attendance.
HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citigroup, Blackstone, UBS and JPMorgan Chase are among the institutions invited, according to a programme seen by South China Morning Post.
The overall number of participants is expected to be about 20 per cent more than the first summit, held last November, when 250 global bankers flew in to attend the first and biggest financial event held in the city after the pandemic, even though not all of Hong Kong’s Covid-19 restrictions had been removed at that point.

The emphasis of this year’s summit is “Living with Complexity”, as the world moves on from the 2022 theme of “Navigating Beyond Uncertainty”, said the HKMA’s CEO Eddie Yue Wai-man in an interview with the Post.
