财政司司长陈茂波表示，法国投资者正重新对香港展现出兴趣。这一转变归功于香港强劲的市场表现以及地缘政治环境的改善，特别是在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与中国国家主席习近平近期举行峰会之后。
陈茂波是在巴黎出席一场关于恐怖主义融资的部长级会议时分享了这些观察。他形容与两年前上一次到访时相比，心态已出现明显变化；当时法国投资者对香港作为全球金融中心的未来仍持怀疑态度。
陈茂波认为，前景的改善得益于近期的市场增长和地缘政治紧张局势的缓解。他指出，特朗普与习近平的会晤在商界产生了相当积极的情绪。
香港股市去年上涨了28%。该市还获得了国际货币基金组织和主要信用评级机构的好评。几家在港运营的法国公司报告称，过去两年盈利稳健。
