Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020 has been a busy year in which we saw a number of important developments in the financial regulation space in Hong Kong. We have prepared a short video summary on some of the key developments over the last year, and what we expect to see in 2021.

The financial regulation landscape is still changing quickly in Hong Kong – indeed, since the time this video was recorded, the SFC has just published its consultation proposals on new rules for bookbuilding.
