[Presentation] Hong Kong and world: Where do we stand?
中文标题
[演示文稿] 香港与全球：我们处于何种位置？
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Global financial conditions are tightening as inflation rises and most central banks raise rates, with the PBOC as the exception. Hong Kong retains a major liquidity pool, with IPO fundraising rebounding since 2025 and HIBOR below SOFR. China's RMB usage in cross-border assets and trade finance rises, while Gulf USD pools shrink on war and lower oil exports. Hong Kong banks face the highest asset-quality pressure in a decade, and demographics and income gaps add structural uncertainty.

- China's RMB share of cross-border assets has risen above 30%, aided by lower borrowing costs and regulatory push.
