Later in the day, several key figures, including Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, are scheduled to speak at the global financiers summit in Hong Kong. He Lifeng, who plays a significant role in economic and financial policy-making, will deliver the opening keynote speech. Other notable speakers include Li Yunze, head of China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration, Wu Qing, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and Zhu Hexin, Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China.
