 The MPFA welcomes the series of measures announced today (17 September) by the Chief Executive in his 2025 Policy Address to further develop Hong Kong’s financial markets, promote the application of artificial intelligence, strengthen employment and people’s livelihood, and improve the governance system.

MPFA Chairman Mrs Ayesha Macpherson Lau praised the 2025 Policy Address as forward-looking and innovative, in particular initiatives for enhancing Hong Kong’s financial system and reinforcing its position as an international financial center, which will contribute to economic development and the well-being of the people of Hong Kong, and promote its prosperity and vitality. 

The measures in the 2025 Policy Address ranging from deepening the equity market, expanding the world-class bond market, building an international gold trading market, promoting green and sustainable finance, to deepening international economic and trade networks will bring about more quality investment opportunities. Mrs Lau stated that the MPFA will continue to review and broaden the range of MPF investment asset classes, with a view to providing the MPF industry with more diversified investment tools to facilitate MPF funds to better diversify investment risks and enhance potential investment returns for the benefit of scheme members. 

Mrs Lau said, “The MPFA will continue to review and optimise the MPF investment universe by striking a balance between returns and risks. This will facilitate MPF funds’ investment in more diversified asset classes, ultimately delivering greater benefits to MPF scheme members.”

Mrs Lau added, “As a major pillar of basic retirement protection for Hong Kong’s workforce, the MPF System is an integral part of social stability. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the implementation of MPF. The MPFA will continue to render full support to the Government's administration and the policy initiatives outlined in the 2025 Policy Address and its Supplement. We will strive to enhance continually the MPF System, take forward the full operation of the eMPF Platform, and drive the phased implementation of full portability of MPF benefits for greater market competition and fee reductions, with a view to providing an even more robust basic retirement protection for the working population in Hong Kong."
