Over the past decade, Hong Kong has made great strides in all aspects of the economy and society, further enhancing its status as an international financial center. The resilience of the financial system, the level of the business environment and its overall competitiveness have been highly evaluated by the international community, and have shown vigorous vitality. This achievement lies first of all in the comprehensive and accurate, unswerving implementation of the policy of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy; adherence to the unity of the Central Government's full authority and the protection of the SAR's high degree of autonomy, on the basis of safeguarding the unity of the motherland and On the basis of safeguarding the unity of the motherland and national sovereignty, Hong Kong's institutional strengths and socio-economic vitality are maintained and brought into full play to the maximum extent.
Hong Kong has long been a bridge between the mainland and the international financial market, and has not only made great contributions to the economic and financial development of the motherland, but has also gained a strong momentum for financial development. Hong Kong is the largest source of inward direct investment from the Mainland, the world's largest offshore RMB market, and an important transit point for Mainland funds to enter the international financial markets. After the return of Hong Kong, its economic and financial interface with the Mainland has become even closer, and it has become an important part of the country's development. Entering a new stage of development, national strategies such as the 14th Five-Year Plan, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the "One Belt and One Road" initiative have provided new development opportunities and space for Hong Kong's development as an international financial center.
