Financial Secretary Paul Chan explained that the Government will release a policy statement on developing family office businesses in Hong Kong on the day of the summit, announcing policy directions for global family offices to drive positive impacts through wealth allocation.

Mr Chan said he looks forward to attracting more global family offices and asset owners to establish a presence in Hong Kong via the summit.
