Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan said on Wednesday that the two-day APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting featured candid and substantive discussions covering macroeconomic policies, infrastructure financing, and digital cooperation. He noted that the joint statement issued at the meeting was a rare achievement, and its outcomes would help promote cross-border financing and listings, creating opportunities for Hong Kong and mainland enterprises to expand overseas. Chan also stated that participating economies left with a very positive impression of Hong Kong, believing that the city successfully hosted the meeting and enhanced its international reputation.
