In his speech, the Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, said that a number of important and landmark policy measures will be implemented in the first half of 2023, including the inclusion of some international companies listed in Hong Kong under the Southbound Stock Connect, which allows mainland funds to purchase these shares, and the addition of Southbound shares to the RMB counter.

The financial markets have experienced great ups and downs in 2022, but Hong Kong's financial system has been operating smoothly and in an orderly manner, demonstrating great resilience. In 2023, the Year of the Rabbit Hong Kong will develop better.
