Hong Kong stock exchange’s boss called for confidence that the city will maintain its “undisputed” role as Asia’s financial nave even as it battles the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak and political unrest.
“I don’t see anything on the horizon that’s going to fundamentally change that,” Chief Executive Officer Charles Li said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. “But it’s required of all of us to maintain confidence, to maintain our belief this great city is going to become even greater once we are able to get over on the other side of the current public health challenges and other challenges.”
