At the Annual Conference of Financial Street Forum 2026 in Beijing, Invest Hong Kong official King Leung outlined initiatives to broaden offshore yuan financing across Belt and Road economies, according to the Global Times.

To strengthen capital market links, Hong Kong delegations recently carried out commercial roadshows across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states. The outreach aims to encourage the issuance of offshore yuan bonds and credit facilities to help partner countries reduce infrastructure financing costs.

Key focus areas for the financing initiatives include clean energy installations, off-grid power grids, and energy storage developments.

Additionally, mainland Chinese technology and infrastructure companies are being encouraged to leverage Hong Kong as a commercial hub to support their business expansion across the Gulf region.
