As Mainland China has recently stepped up scrutiny of cross-border capital flows, Clement Cheung, CEO of the Insurance Authority, responded at a summit that the move was triggered by certain illicit actors conducting illegal cross-border capital activities through specific channels. Regulating such activities is entirely appropriate; otherwise, it would deviate from the country’s positioning of Hong Kong.

Cheung accentuated that enhanced supervision is intended to combat violations, adding that the key lies in strengthening formal cross-border connectivity channels while carrying out effective regulatory work. The market needs not be overly concerned, and robust supervision will be conducive to Hong Kong’s development in the long run.
