香港财政司司长陈茂波表示，当局预计下月推出措施，强化香港作为离岸人民币中心的角色，并增加以人民币交易的上市公司数量。
陈茂波在接受采访时指出，香港离岸人民币流动性池是全球最大，存款约1万亿元人民币，相当于1450亿美元，但仍有空间扩大。
他提到港元-人民币双柜台模式作为例子，允许投资者以港元或人民币交易本地上市公司股票。政府正与内地当局讨论扩展该模式。
陈茂波还为香港作为国际金融中心的地位辩护，认为依赖内地企业首次公开募股是优势，而非弱点，因为这有助于内地公司海外扩张。

He stated that security is core to high-quality development amid geopolitical tensions risking financial markets and energy supplies. The city rolled out its first batch of stablecoin licences last week and pledged to accelerate the shift to green energies.
