SFST attends Constituency Meeting at Asian Development Bank Annual Meeting in Uzbekistan (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, arrived at Samarkand, Uzbekistan, on May 3 (Samarkand time) to attend the 59th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) where he spoke at the Constituency Meeting.

     At the Constituency Meeting held in the afternoon, members discussed the impacts and implications of the current situation in the Middle East as well as the work of the ADB and the engagement of member countries and regions.

     Mr Hui said that the tensions in the Middle East have brought volatility to energy supplies, financial markets and trade. In response to these situations, while the ADB has an important role to help members transition toward a greener and more diversified global value chains structure, Hong Kong, as an international financial centre, a global technology hub, and a leader in green and sustainable finance in Asia, stands ready to support the ADB in achieving its mission. Members can utilise Hong Kong's various financial offerings for diversification of funding sources, including green and catastrophe bonds, risk management tools as well as gold reserves and delivery.

     He added that in an era of polycrisis, ideas and knowledge are the real multipliers. The ADB disseminates knowledge and shares information with members in different aspects, builds enduring institutional strength across the region, helping members navigate complex transitions in various areas that no single member can master alone.

     On May 4 (Samarkand time), Mr Hui will attend the opening session, a lunch hosted for Governors and the Governors' Business Session of the ADB Annual Meeting. He will also meet with representatives of other participating member countries and regions.
