HKTDC, Huatai International partner to support China’s dual circulation strategy

This is in line with China’s 14th five-year plan. 

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Huatau International Financial Holdings Company have partnered to help promote the Dual Circulation Strategy, under China’s 14th five-year plan. 

Through the partnership, HKTDC and Huatai International seeks to complement the strategy of Mainland China in attracting foreign investments, and reinforcing Hong Kong as a platform for China enterprises to invest overseas. 

It is also intended to create a strong synergy  through the integration of the two parties’ businesses. 

"Hong Kong is not only a trading hub, but also an international investment hub. Our success in deal-making showcases the best of Hong Kong's ecosystem by providing all-round professional and finance services to Mainland China and the Asia region, facilitating part of the country's objectives of the Dual Circulation Strategy,” HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Patrick Lau said.

“Huatai Securities is one of the top securities houses in Mainland China, with Huatai International being its international business platform with financial expertise and capable teams in corporate finance. Therefore, it will be an ideal partner for HKTDC to achieve our objectives.”
