Zhixin Financial APP has learned that on September 29, Shui Zhiwei, Vice President of the Unity Fund and Executive Director of the Public Policy Research Institute, responded to the Semi-Annual Report on Monetary and Financial Stability, stating that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's latest Semi-Annual Report on Monetary and Financial Stability reflects the pivotal impact of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom on Hong Kong's economy and external environment.

The report shows that strong global demand for AI-related electronic products has driven Hong Kong's exports and economic expansion. In particular, Hong Kong's exports of "electronic equipment" recorded a nearly 60% year-on-year increase in June 2026, accounting for more than half of total exports, reflecting that AI demand is the main engine of Hong Kong's continued export growth.

He also noted that with AI technology developing rapidly, current generative AI is gradually moving towards the popularization of AI Agents, and will further enter the era of artificial general intelligence in the future, which will continue to bring new growth momentum to various industries in the local economy.

At the same time, AI companies are strengthening their use of Hong Kong's leading financial market advantages. Among mainland China's "AI Six Tigers," Minimax (00100) and Zhipu (02513) have already listed in Hong Kong earlier this year.

Shui Zhiwei hopes that Hong Kong can strive to attract more international AI companies to list in Hong Kong in the future, and take the opportunity to launch more AI-related ETFs, even细化 by industry sectors such as energy storage, optical communications, and semiconductors, to promote the mutual reinforcement of "AI+" and "Finance+," further consolidating Hong Kong's status as an international financial center and international AI hub.
