Los inversores franceses muestran un interés renovado en Hong Kong

El secretario de Finanzas, Paul Chan Mo-po, informa que los inversores franceses vuelven a ver a Hong Kong con buenos ojos. Este cambio se debe al sólido desempeño del mercado en la ciudad y a una mejora en el clima geopolítico, especialmente tras la reciente cumbre entre el presidente de EE. UU., Donald Trump, y el presidente chino, Xi Jinping.

Paul Chan Mo-po compartió estas observaciones durante una conferencia ministerial en París sobre la financiación del terrorismo. Describió un cambio evidente de actitud desde su visita anterior hace dos años, cuando los inversores franceses aún albergaban dudas sobre el futuro de Hong Kong como centro financiero global.

Chan atribuyó la mejora de las perspectivas a las recientes ganancias del mercado y a la disminución de las tensiones geopolíticas. La reunión entre Trump y Xi Jinping, señaló, ha generado un sentimiento positivo considerable en los círculos empresariales.

El mercado bursátil de Hong Kong subió un 28 por ciento el año pasado. La ciudad también ha recibido valoraciones favorables por parte del Fondo Monetario Internacional y de las principales agencias de calificación crediticia. Varias empresas francesas con operaciones en Hong Kong reportaron beneficios sólidos durante los últimos dos años.
