Hong Kong Finance Secretary Paul Chan to Attend AIIB Meeting in Qatar

Hong Kong's presence at a multilateral development bank forum in the Gulf signals how the city is positioning itself beyond traditional Western capital flows, leaning into infrastructure and green-finance themes where Middle East sovereigns and Asian lenders increasingly overlap. For RWA and tokenization watchers, the relevant thread is digital transformation and cross-border connectivity — the same corridors where blockchain-based settlement and asset tokenization are being piloted. Whether such meetings translate into concrete Hong Kong-Gulf financing structures, rather than dialogue, is the open question.
