Welcome to the website of the Financial Services Branch of the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau.

As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is a prime location for financial services and home to many globally renowned financial institutions. Leveraging our unique advantages under "One Country, Two Systems", Hong Kong has become a premier international banking centre, asset and wealth management centre, and the largest offshore Renminbi business hub. We also possess deep and liquid capital markets, a vibrant international bond market, and a dynamic insurance market.

Our status as an international financial centre has withstood the test of time, testifying to our resilience and the robustness of our system for ensuring financial stability.

The Financial Services Branch is responsible for formulating policies and introducing legislative proposals covering:

• Securities and futures markets;
• Asset and wealth management sector;
• Banking system;
• Insurance industry;
• Accounting sector;
• Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) schemes;
• Green and sustainable finance;
• Financial technologies and virtual assets;
• Bond market;
• Anti-money laundering;
• Corporate insolvency and individual bankruptcy matters; and
• Companies, trusts, and money lending matters.

Working in partnership with our financial regulators, the Financial Services Branch aims to maintain and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre by safeguarding the integrity and stability of our financial system, ensuring the prudent and appropriate regulation of our financial markets, deepening financial cooperation with the Mainland market, and seizing every development opportunity for our financial services sector.
