Billion Dollar Women: Clara Chan, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)
100 Women in Finance’s ever popular Billion Dollar Women series returns featuring Clara Chan, HKMA’s CIO (Private Markets). 

Market development is a never-ending race. Hong Kong, as a leading international financial center in Asia, is uniquely well-positioned to benefit from the internationalization of Renminbi and the Belt and Road Initiative. Learn how the region’s currency board and  de facto  central bank must dynamically evolve to stay ahead of the game. 

Ms. Chan, who was named 100WF’s Asia Industry Leadership Award recipient in 2016, will share insights on recent market initiatives. She will also discuss current market opportunities and challenges, plus describe her approach to investment team development and leadership. Bring your questions and gain up-to-the-minute insights on what lies ahead for the Hong Kong and Asian markets.  

Ms. Chan will appear in conversation with Carol Kim, co-founder and emerita Global Association Board member of 100 Women in Finance.
