Yu Weiwen: Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency have brought new dimensions and challenges to traditional financial intermediary services

According to Foresight News, Yue Weiwen, President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said at the 2025 International Financial Leaders Investment Summit that the financial environment has been quite challenging in the past year, with the macro backdrop continuing to change, economic growth slowing, government debt rising, and trade and geoeconomic uncertainties also persisting for a long time. Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies have brought new dimensions and challenges to traditional financial intermediation services. The role of non-bank institutions continues to expand, and the connection between the two is becoming increasingly closer. These trends are worthy of attention, but they are also difficult to predict given the current uncertain outlook. "Therefore, financial leaders must pay close attention to market dynamics and plan ahead. This is exactly the principle we uphold as the guardian of Hong Kong's monetary and financial stability."
