<p><span>It is my great pleasure to join you today for Hong Kong Fintech Week. I would like to thank the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the other organisers for inviting me to participate. Hong Kong SAR is a special place for the BIS. It is the home for our Asia-Pacific regional office, and for one of our first three Innovation Hub Centres. Its vibrant fintech ecosystem is a constant source of innovation and inspiration</span></p>
