Hong Kong Central Bank Announces 19 Eligible Banks for $1.64 Trillion Greater Bay Area Wealth Connect Pilot Scheme

21st October 2021 | Hong Kong

Hong Kong Central Bank Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has announced 19 eligible banks in Hong Kong which can launch the Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect (WMC) Southbound services, including the largest banks in China, Citibank, HSBC and DBS.  The Greater Bay Area (GBA), comprising of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with total GDP of $1.64 trillion and population of 71.2 million people, is a massive market for financial and investment services, with the combined GDP of $1.64 trillion placing it as the 4th largest economy in Asia alongside Korea (1. China $14.3 trillion, 2. Japan $5 trillion, 3. India $2.86 trillion, 4. Korea $1.64 trillion).  The Wealth Management Connect was proposed to allow investors between Mainland China and Hong Kong to open banking & investment accounts, invest in stocks & bonds, purchase financial products and remit renminbi (RMB / CNY) & foreign currencies.  In May 2021, Central Bank of China and China regulators have set a net cashflow movement between Mainland China and Hong Kong to not exceed $23.2 billion (CNY 150 billion) while the individual investor investment quota is set at $155,000 (CNY 1 million).

Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA:

“It gives me great pleasure to see that a number of Hong Kong banks have completed the necessary preparatory work and are ready to start providing Cross-boundary WMC services. Considering that it will be the first time for retail investors to conduct cross-boundary investments, we will closely monitor the operation of the Cross-boundary WMC and step up investor education and investor protection work together with the industry.

We will collaborate with the industry to explore enhancement measures to the scheme as and when appropriate, with a view to providing more growth opportunities for Hong Kong’s banking and wealth management industry.”
