As a global insurer, we not only contribute to Hong Kong’s economic development but also help strengthen the city’s position as an international financial hub. To the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, thank you for inviting us to share how we reinforce our commitment to the region, seizing the opportunities brought by the HKSAR government’s strategy of bringing in and getting out.
[Professional Services Spotlight — Insurance Sector] As an international financial centre, Hong Kong ranks first globally in the insurance industry. Many international insurance companies have chosen to redomicile to Hong Kong to seize the vast development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area. One of the trailblazers? AXA. As one of the first to make the move back to HK, CEO Sally Wan praised the HKSAR Government’s proactive role in helping businesses both “go global” and “bring in” international capital. The result? More global players, more family offices, and a booming market for professional services — especially insurance! Following the redomiciliation, the company benefited from streamlined regulatory and reporting procedures, enhancing operational efficiency and allowing for greater flexibility to capitalize on opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and innovative technologies — such as developing cross-border motor insurance and low-altitude economy insurance products. Looking ahead, the company plans to leverage Hong Kong's robust financial ecosystem to further integrate resources and deepen collaboration with both Mainland and international markets, driving long-term development of the insurance industry.
