PANews reported on February 9 that according to Ming Pao, the Hong Kong government will announce a new "Budget" at the end of this month. Legislative Council member (Financial Services) Li Weihong said that he has integrated the opinions of the industry and submitted them to Financial Secretary Paul Chan. Li Weihong proposed to promote the development of virtual assets and futures markets, speed up the approval of license upgrades, and suggested that the Futures Exchange should realize 23-hour trading as soon as possible, increase futures varieties for holiday trading, and open more virtual asset options and futures derivatives, which will help strengthen the status of an international risk management center. In addition, he asked the Hong Kong government to speed up the construction of an international gold trading center and strive to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) as soon as possible, so that the industry can export gold and other precious metals from Hong Kong to RCEP members at zero tariffs.
