陳茂波:首五月新股集資額逾1,800億元 排隊上市仍十分熱鬧
財政司司長陳茂波出席論壇時表示,香港疫情防控方面較嚴謹,留意到商界尤其是外商有提出關注,主要因爲長時間難出行,往來不便、與家人聯繫亦被打斷,不過他指出,政府週一已宣佈進一步以疫苗接種爲基礎的防疫隔離措施放寬,商界亦表示歡迎,對下一步在疫情受控時恢復國際往來抱有信心。
他認爲香港作爲國際金融中心競爭優勢非常強,強調國際投資者對香港仍信心滿滿,他舉例指今年首四月銀行總存款已增加至14.7萬億元,而去年4月至10月共有近500億美元資金流入本港,由於資金仍留在香港金融系統故現時利率非常低。在IPO方面,去年香港籌約4,000億元,而今年首五月集資額亦逾1,800億元,按年增長強勁,排隊來港上市亦十分熱鬧,今年第三季將諮詢市場考慮引進香港版SPAC(特殊目的收購公司)。
他續指,現時香港資產管理業務規模約爲3.7萬億美元,是本港GDP的10倍,現時香港是亞洲最大對衝基金基地,同時是第二大私募股權基金中心,最近不少國際銀行都在港增聘人手準備「跨境理財通」開通後大展拳腳,在港拓展業務,亦有企業將外國高層調往香港準備推廣業務,強調香港國際金融中心地位非常強。
另外他表示,爲加深央行數碼貨幣使用研究,除了在跨境貿易支付層面繼續試用外,未來一年會爲在港發行批發及零售層面的央行數碼貨幣加強準備,包括研究港元數碼貨幣在本地零售層面應用,並繼續與人行合作,就數碼人民幣在港使用進行技術測試,爲內地及本地居民提供更便捷的跨境支付服務。(el/k) ~
