Moving forward, the FSDC will continue to enhance its capabilities in performing its key functions of policy research, market promotion and talent development, engaging stakeholders across various financial sectors and driving the delivery of messages on key growth areas of the industry such as family office, ESG and green finance, FinTech as well as connectivity with mainland China and the rest of the world.
