In Conversation with Nicolas Aguzin

The Chamber is pleased to welcome Nicolas Aguzin, CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), to give a speech at the Hong Kong Club followed by a fireside chat with our Executive Director, David Graham. Join them as they discuss Hong Kong's future as an international finance centre, from the city's outlook as a preferred fundraising centre to its role in enhancing connectivity with the mainland and the GBA and pioneering net-zero solutions in the Asia-Pacific.
