Чен Мао Бо: Виртуальные валюты являются частью финансовых инноваций, Гонконг должен их принимать, но с осторожностью

Odaily星球日报讯 Hong Kong Financial Secretary Chen Maobo said today during a program appearance that Hong Kong’s economic growth last year was 3.2%. Regarding the development of virtual currencies and artificial intelligence, Chen Maobo pointed out that virtual currency is part of financial innovation, and Hong Kong should embrace it. However, the confidentiality of blockchain technology may bring risks such as insufficient investor protection, impact on anti-money laundering, and threats to financial stability. He emphasized that the Hong Kong government must handle this carefully and incorporate it into an appropriate regulatory framework. Meanwhile, Chen Maobo expressed reservations about comprehensively promoting virtual currency investment to the public, believing that education and publicity should be strengthened.
