Anita Wong, Director of Consumer Research at Nielsen, was also invited to share insights into middle-class investment trends. According to a survey conducted by Nielsen, Hong Kong’s middle-class is starting to lean conservative due to an unstable, poor-performing market. To navigate through this trend, it is worth exploring more long-term financial products aimed at helping consumers secure a stable future.

With ever-evolving markets bringing fresh challenges to the table, Hong Kong’s finance industry must work together to seek out opportunities and uphold the standard of excellence that its services are known for on the international stage.
