Hong Kong is seeking to expand its role as a fundraising hub for emerging market companies as China deepens trade and investment ties with Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Africa, a senior investment promotion official said.

King Leung, an assistant director-general at InvestHK, told Caixin that Hong Kong could become a financing center for the Global South within five to 10 years. He spoke during Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK.
