Hong Kong hosted the first Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation finance ministers' meeting to be held in the city, an event the report says centered on openness, cooperation and resilience. The report did not date the meeting.
The report framed the meeting around a question it said the city faces: as globalization becomes more difficult and the rules and security boundaries governing international markets grow more complex, what Hong Kong can still offer cross-border commerce.
It said globalization is not over, that capital still seeks opportunities overseas, and that technology plays a role, without giving figures for capital flows, meeting attendance or any market measure.
