The Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) was established by the HKSAR

Government in January, 2013 in response to the financial services industry’s call for a

high-level government advisory body to support the sustained development of the

industry. The FSDC engages the industry and formulates proposals to promote the

further development of Hong Kong’s financial services industry and map out the

strategic direction for the development of Hong Kong as an international financial

centre. It acts as a focal point of views and melting pot of ideas, as a champion and

ambassador of the industry, and as a capacity builder.

The FSDC’s work is underpinned by the five Committees established, namely,

Policy Research; Mainland Opportunities; New Business; Market Development;

and Human Capital. The Committees are engaged in specific areas of the financial

services industry in depth, formulate work directions and plans with a view to

providing advice and recommendations to the Government.

The FSDC aims to:

1. advise the Government on strategies and measures to expand the scope of

our financial markets and enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong as an

international financial centre;

2. provide a channel for stakeholders to express views and champion the

interests of the financial services industry;

3. support the financial services industry in developing the core competence

and knowledge of its practitioners; and

4. promote our financial services industry and Hong Kong as an international

financial centre on the Mainland and overseas.
