HSBC – The event kicked off with opening comments by HSBC Group Chairman Mark Tucker, who introduced the key topic of the summit – how new networks of influence, finance & trade, and innovation are shaping the global economy.
- There was also a welcome address by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR John Lee. He emphasised the strengths of Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre, which acts as a super-connector between Mainland China and the rest of the world. This message was complemented by an outlook from Paul Chan, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary, who discussed the city’s mutual market access schemes, green development, innovations in FinTech, and opportunities in wealth management.
- The overarching theme for the first day of the summit was the New Networks of Influence, with an emphasis on how the rise of new economic powers is affecting everything from geopolitics to the international flow of capital.
- These topics were tied together by historian Niall Ferguson in a talk that showed how evolving networks are shaping the 21st century, focusing on the status of the US dollar as a global currency, the prospects for globalisation, and relations between China and the US.
- On the risks, a panel of world-leading experts on international relations discussed how growing geopolitical tensions are creating challenges for business and finance – including a former Head of UK intelligence service MI6, a former Foreign Minister of Singapore, and HSBC’s very own Global Head of Geopolitical Risk.
- On the same note, some of the world’s most influential investors shared how they are allocating capital in financial markets that are showing high levels of volatility and uncertainty.
- Moving on to opportunities, the afternoon sessions split into three separate streams, exploring the emerging giants that are transforming global business.
- As the world’s second-largest economy, China was the focus of one stream, which made a deep dive into how the country is adapting to new economic conditions after the pandemic. Economists and a prominent figure in a Chinese investment firm on the panel discussed topics such as demographics and the direction of government policy and investment. This was followed by a panel that discussed the outlook for China’s technological innovation, and the impact of US-China tensions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) development.
- India was also in the spotlight. As the world’s fastest growing major economy, the country is of great interest to the global investment community. How international investors can best take advantage of India’s capital markets, and ongoing efforts to boost financial inclusion through a focus on retail investors, was the subject of a keynote by the Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
- There was also a discussion of India’s “wonder years” and what is driving the country’s growth story, featuring the CEO of the National Stock Exchange of India and the Chairman of the International Financial Services Centres Authority of India.
- And finally, there was a panel discussion on the promise of ASEAN, with leading Southeast Asian business leaders describing how the bloc works together to benefit from the strengths of its member countries.
- Towards the end of the day, Steve Guggenheimer, Non-Executive Director of HSBC Holdings, talked about change is the only constant and how business leaders should become comfortable with the need for continuous transformation in the face technological change.
