On 11 Sep 2017, the 2^nd “Belt and Road Summit” jointly organized by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Hong Kong Trade Development Council was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center and attracted more than 3,000 government officials, policymakers, business leaders and industry experts from around the world. As leaders of the precious metals industry in Hong Kong, Acetop Precious Metals Limited was invited to attend. Mr. Nick Ku, Registered Manager and Chief Analyst represented the company to discuss with Hong Kong elites the unique position Hong Kong plays and the new opportunities in the precious metals industry.

The theme of the summit was “From Vision to Action”. Dozens of country leaders, representatives of international institutions, and business leaders from countries along and beyond the Belt and Road delivered speech, and arranged investment and business grouping and matching, expecting to effectively achieve cross-border or cross-regional connectivity through industry matching such as large-scale infrastructure and financial investment. Since its official launch, “Belt and Road” initiative has successfully established multiple interest communities with economic integration and cultural inclusion through existing and effective regional cooperation platform. The social environment of Hong Kong is highly internationalized with many advantageous industries, including finance, trade and professional services, which makes it an important node in advancement process of the national “Belt and Road” strategy.

The development of the financial industry is particularly impressive. Hong Kong’s precious metals industry has continued to develop and grow under the influence of a large atmosphere. Thanks to its superior geographical advantages, mature trading system, and strict and self-disciplined industry system, trading scale of the CGSE has been comprehensively promoted, not only stimulating foreign capital to invest in China which actively promotes development of the precious metal industry, but also helping domestic market expand to Asian countries gradually under the “Belt and Road” initiative which creates a bigger stage for domestic precious metals industry.

As a pioneer in the industry, Acetop Precious Metals Limited constantly improves the trading platform, providing customers with secure and reliable precious metal investment services.  While also acting as a hub for precious metals cooperation between Mainland and Hong Kong, Acetop broadens the exchange channels for domestic and international gold markets, providing a full range of precious metal services for more Asian and international clients. Acetop believes that the precious metals industry in Mainland and Hong Kong will usher in a more robust market in increasingly economical exchanges, and the precious metals industry will also steadily advance towards the goals of cooperation and common prosperity.
