According to the Global Wealth Report 2026 published by the Boston Consulting Group (May 27), Hong Kong is now the world's largest cross-boundary wealth management centre. The Report further projects that from 2025 to 2030, the cross-boundary wealth managed by Hong Kong will grow by 9% on average annually and maintain first place globally, fully affirming Hong Kong's position as a world-leading cross-boundary wealth management centre✨.

The National 15th Five-Year Plan clearly supports Hong Kong in strengthening its functions as an international asset and wealth management centre, which is also a key component of Hong Kong's “Finance +” development strategy. Leveraging the advantages of “one country, two systems”, complemented by free, open, transparent, and predictable economic policies as well as a stable and secure investment environment, and cross-market connectivity, Hong Kong is attracting more and more ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices to establish a presence and invest in the city.

Benefiting from the wealth generated by technological innovation and the rapid development of industries related to artificial intelligence, demand for asset and wealth management in the Mainland and the Asian region is set to grow at an accelerated pace. This is expected to open up greater room for development for Hong Kong's asset and wealth management sector.

Cheung Chau Bun Festival

The unique Cheung Chau Bun Festival (May 21-25) drew tens of thousands to the outlying island of Cheung Chau to experience an ancient thanksgiving ritual, enacted annually by the islanders. One of the highlights of the festival is the Bun Scrambling Competition, which took place on the final night of the celebration. During the competition, individuals and teams scuttled up a purpose-built tower to grab as many “buns” as they could.

Another major focus of the festival is the Piu S*k (Floating Colours) Parade, where kids dressed up as deities and celebrities, seemingly floating in air. Lion and dragon dances added to the excitement during the Parade. The festival has been officially inscribed on the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
