At Extreme Investor Network, we are excited to share the latest news on the collaboration between the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) in the realm of sustainable finance. The two regulatory bodies are set to co-host the inaugural HKMA–DFSA Joint Climate Finance Conference on September 16, 2024, in Hong Kong.
This conference marks a significant step in fostering cooperation between Asia and the Middle East on the crucial issue of climate finance. The event will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual participation, providing a unique opportunity for stakeholders from both regions to come together and exchange ideas.
The HKMA–DFSA partnership, established in December 2023, aims to promote sustainable finance and drive discussions on transition finance. The conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities of transitioning towards a more sustainable financial model, with a specific emphasis on practical discussions and collaboration between Hong Kong and Dubai.
Key discussions at the conference will include a fireside chat between Mr. Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA, and Mr. Ian Johnston, Chief Executive of the DFSA. High-profile speakers will lead panels on topics such as the vision for a net-zero transition, capital allocation for transition finance, and the future of sustainable finance.
As both Asia and the Middle East strive towards achieving net-zero emissions, the conference will play a crucial role in facilitating regional cooperation and knowledge sharing. By bringing together experts and decision-makers from both regions, the event aims to drive progress towards common climate goals and support the transition to more sustainable growth models.
The HKMA is Hong Kong’s central banking institution, responsible for maintaining monetary stability, promoting financial system integrity, and managing the Exchange Fund. On the other hand, the DFSA is the independent regulator of financial services in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), overseeing a wide range of financial activities and administering anti-money laundering legislation.
