【明報專訊】Despite a storm buffeting the city, the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit will go ahead as scheduled today(2 November). As Hong Kong gradually reopens itself amid the pandemic, the summit will be a milestone. Although several speakers and guests will be unable to attend the summit due to the COVID-19 infection or family issues, the summit will still feature the chairmen of major European and American banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBS. In terms of prestige and scale, the summit will still be full of weight, which will go a long way towards conveying the message that "Hong Kong is back". What is regrettable is that Hong Kong has not implemented a "0+0" entry arrangement, which could have result in even better outcomes. Over the past two or three years, the international situation has been treacherous, and the political risks faced by investors have increased significantly. Although Hong Kong is now "back", the external circumstances have altered beyond recognition. The real test for the city is how to overcome various unfavourable factors and forge ahead.
