Future Investment Initiative Institutes Summit / Taylor Swift: Time Magazine's person of the year 2023

Presenters：Andrew Work and Philip Wong

On Friday's Backchat, we're talking about Hong Kong’s status as an international finance hub.

Earlier this week the government hit out at Moody’s decision to change the credit outlook of Hong Kong to "negative" from "stable". It stressed that Hong Kong’s tight links with the mainland are a source of strength for the territory’s long-term development, not a rating constraint.

And despite Moody’s downgrade, the Future Investment Initiative Institutes Summit is currently taking place here-- the second international financial event held in Hong Kong within two weeks.

Organisers say Hong Kong was chosen to host the event precisely because it’s a global financial and investment hub that serves as a bridge to the mainland and the rest of Asia.

So, how is Hong Kong doing as an international financial hub? What’s behind the Moody’s downgrade?

After 9:45am, we look at Taylor Swift - Time magazine's person of the year.

9:05am-9:45am: Future Investment Initiative Institutes Summit

9:05am-9:45am: Ambassador Amr El Henawy, former Egyptian Consul General to Hong Kong
