Purpose

The Hong Kong foreign exchange market is an internationalized foreign exchange market that developed in the 1970s. As a major offshore financial center globally, it features high trading freedom, close linkage with international markets, and a mature and well-established regulatory system, making it one of the core hubs for foreign exchange trading in the Asia-Pacific region. To help investors or professionals gain a more comprehensive understanding of the region's forex brokers, the field research team conducted on-site visits to Hong Kong, China.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a strong sense of responsibility to rigorously vet investors, traveled to Hong Kong, China, according to a meticulously planned itinerary.
