SFST to visit Slovenia and Poland
*********************************
Mr Hui is going to Slovenia on the invitation of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the Republic of Slovenia, Mr Klemen Boštjančič, to attend a high-level event which will gather members of the European Commission and the Eurogroup, as well as ministers of finance or senior financial officials from various countries and financial experts. He will also join a panel discussion at the event. In addition to meeting government officials, Mr Hui will attend an event hosted by the largest chamber of commerce there to promote the advantages of Hong Kong's financial markets with a view to attracting European enterprises and investors to come to Hong Kong and utilise the city as the perfect platform to enter the Asian and Chinese markets.
He will then proceed to Poland where he will visit the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and meet with government officials and the business sector. He will also visit two Chinese enterprises which have set up a presence in Poland to learn more about how Hong Kong can better leverage its professional services and advantages as one of the top three international financial centres to help more companies expand overseas.
Mr Hui will return to Hong Kong on September 27. During his absence, the Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Joseph Chan, will be the Acting Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury.
