The Acting Financial Secretary, Michael Wong, believes that the driver of growth for the country is its Special Administrative Region Government. He added that the financial and economic connectivity of the country with other flourishing countries in the space is its unique advantage.
And he further believes that the country will continue to take advantage of this unique advantage to explore new growth opportunities in different fields and develop new competitive advantages.
He shared the idea of the Hong Kong SAR government expanding its competitive advantages to three specific areas, such as finance, innovative technology and attracting foreign enterprises and talents.
In the area of finance, the key areas include financial technology, green finance, DeFi (<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/02/11/decentralized-finance-defi-implementation-and-innovation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">decentralized finance</a>) related to Web3, digital and virtual assets and others.

Despite country officials claiming to support the digital assets, it is contradictory as a few crypto exchanges were forced to dismiss their operations due to the increase in regulatory requirements as the licensing deadline was provided to be February 29.
The exchanges that did not get licenses were either forced to cease their operations on their own or the government will do it with effect from May 31.
Hong Kong regulatory bodies has substantially increased the regulatory requirements for the exchanges since the beginning of this year. This has led to the cessation of operations on multiple crypto exchanges in the country in the last two months.
Some of the exchanges that were found to be inoperable include, Bitget, Bittrex, HOTBIT and HKVAEX.&nbsp;
