The strategy aims to encourage the financial sector to adopt technology comprehensively by 2025, as well as to promote the provision of fair and efficient financial services for the benefit of Hong Kong citizens and the economy. In this webinar, Mr. Nelson Chow will start by sharing some key focus areas put forward in this strategy.
