The
Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has established the Fintech Facilitation
Office to facilitate the development of a Fintech Ecosystem in Hong Kong since
March 2016. The construction of the Fintech Ecosystem is based on four key
components, comprising:
1. research
and application 2. regulatory
interface 3. a
platform to connect stakeholders, including tech firms, tech investors,
financial institutions and regulators 4. talent

results and deliverables are gradually seen and materialised after two years of
development work, it now reaches a stage for a more focused strategy with an
