Hong Kong’s fintech solutions, green finance skills and logistics innovation could streamline trade across Asean, Minister Anthony Loke says
While Hong Kong was essential to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as an international financial hub that promoted technological innovation with a well-regarded legal system, the bloc could also offer great opportunities to the city, Loke said at the Hong Kong-Asean Summit 2025.
Asean was Hong Kong’s second-largest trading partner last year, with total merchandise trade between the two sides totalling HK$1,289.6 billion (US$166 billion), accounting for 13.6 per cent of Hong Kong’s global merchandise trade. Loke pointed out there were avenues for further expansion given the regional grouping’s growing market, skilled workforce and strategic location.
