Remarks by SFST at media session
********************************
Reporter: Could you also tell us in English what is the impact on Hong Kong after Donald Trump signed the 10 per cent global tariff on top of the existing tax?
Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury: If you look at what Hong Kong as it is, one of our advantages is the certainty in terms of how we regulate the market and the overall stability of our overall environment. And this fiasco, I think basically highlights the importance of Hong Kong in this area. We'll continue to see Hong Kong as a very strong and also very safe haven for global investors and global corporates to invest and to station here.
(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the remarks.)
