El jefe de finanzas de Hong Kong comienza una gira europea en París

El secretario de Finanzas, Paul Chan Mo-po, llegó el lunes a París para reunirse con gestores de activos franceses mientras Hong Kong busca atraer capital global.

El secretario de Finanzas, Paul Chan Mo-po, llegó el lunes a París para iniciar una gira europea de cinco días. Se reunió con representantes de la Association Francaise de la Gestion Financiere y del grupo de expertos Asia Centre, con sede en París. Chan también visitó al embajador de China en Francia y Mónaco, Deng Li. Una fuente indicó que la asociación francesa de gestión de activos parece estar muy interesada en ampliar su presencia en Hong Kong, en medio de la diversificación del mercado y el importante potencial de crecimiento en el mercado de gestión de activos de la Gran Área de la Bahía. La gira forma parte de los esfuerzos para reforzar el estatus de Hong Kong como centro financiero internacional. Se produce en un momento de señales de relajación de las tensiones geopolíticas, incluyendo la visita de Estado de dos días programada por el líder ruso Vladímir Putin a Pekín este martes, después de que el presidente chino Xi Jinping celebrara una cumbre con el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump el 14 y 15 de mayo.
