As 2019 began, Hong Kong, Asia's financial hub, had already quickly shifted from the relaxed New Year atmosphere back into the bustle of a new year. From January 14 to 15, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, a financial feast arrived as promised, with unprecedented grandeur!

The Government of the Hong Kong SAR and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council

jointly hosted the 12th Asian Financial Forum,

inviting elites from global political, business, and academic circles

to jointly explore sustainable and inclusive development

amid new opportunities and challenges,

striving to create a better future.

Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan

and Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury James Lau

specially visited the KVB Kunlun International booth to observe and offer guidance,

encouraging the Kunlun team to keep up the great work and achieve brilliance.

KVB Kunlun International, together with Phoenix Finance,

jointly created a themed sub-forum:

"Smart Finance Empowering Hong Kong's SMEs

Co-Creating a Sustainable Ecosystem and an Inclusive Future."

Distinguished guests from political, business, academic, and media circles were invited

to explore the historic opportunities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

and how inclusive finance can benefit SMEs.

Ronnie Chan... Antony Leung, Chairman and CEO of Nan Fung Group,

highlighted Hong Kong's "three innovation advantages" of innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship,

as well as the "two opportunities" of the Greater Bay Area and RMB internationalization.

Guan Tao, Senior Fellow of the China Finance 40 Forum,

advocated that Hong Kong leverage its local strengths

to advance the development of the Greater Bay Area's technology innovation center,

and further called on enterprises to actively establish risk awareness

and proactively conduct corporate foreign exchange risk management.

Lily Liu, CEO and Executive Director of KVB Kunlun International,

shared nearly 20 years of dedication to inclusive finance,

committed to building a successful inclusive finance model

to help more SMEs take off.

Phoenix Satellite Television and KVB Kunlun International's "Financial Talks"

host and producer Cindy Tseng

presided over and moderated this sub-forum,

energizing the atmosphere on site,

with the audience eagerly asking questions and thunderous applause.

The forum successfully attracted over 500 attendees on site,

with 700,000 viewers watching online via Phoenix's live-streaming channels.

The topics of financial technology and inclusive finance

brought innovative ideas and positive impact to all sectors of society.

KVB Kunlun International specially set up

a "Smart Finance" product interactive experience pavilion,

demonstrating corporate foreign exchange and treasury management tools on site

to build the best customer experience and solutions,

providing full support for SME development.

Taking advantage of the Asian Financial Forum,

KVB Kunlun International advocated using "Smart Finance" to promote inclusive SME development,

helping SMEs grow alongside the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,

and establishing a relationship of "coexistence, symbiosis, sharing, and shared prosperity."

KVB Kunlun International will continue to take on its role as an industry leader,

helping SMEs enhance their market competitiveness,

accelerating the pace of SME development and seeking breakthrough opportunities,

and working with all sectors to build a sustainable ecosystem and an inclusive future.
