Muscat, Oman, Dec 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Three months after its introduction, Oman's 10-Year Golden Residency is emerging as one of the region's most compelling long-term residency pathways, attracting rising interest from investors, entrepreneurs, and internationally mobile families seeking stability, transparent regulation, and strategic access to high-growth markets. The programme-launched under Oman Vision 2040-offers a structured framework for investors wishing to establish deeper roots in a country positioning itself as a secure and globally connected economic hub.The Golden Residency grants eligible applicants long-term residency in return for a minimum investment of USD 520,000 across seven clearly defined routes. These include owning completed real estate units within Integrated Tourism Complexes; establishing a company registered in Oman; purchasing government development bonds; investing in securities listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange; or placing a fixed-term deposit in a licensed Omani bank for a minimum of five years. Applicants may also qualify by owning a company that employs at least 50 Omani nationals or through nomination under Oman's Foreign Capital Investment Law, provided the company's capital meets the required threshold.A defining feature of the programme is its family-centric design. Approved applicants can sponsor their spouse and children of any age, secure additional property outside tourism zones, and employ up to three domestic workers without a local sponsor. The residency also includes fast-track immigration lanes and expanded visit visas for extended family members. These benefits-rare in many global residency schemes-position Oman as a destination offering long-term security as well as an inclusive, predictable environment for families.The application system is fully digital, enabling applicants worldwide to upload documents, track applications, and engage directly with dedicated relationship managers. The programme is supported by Migrate World, which provides due-diligence verification and relocation support to align the onboarding process with international investor-migration standards. The streamlined model reflects Oman's broader institutional push toward efficiency, transparency, and unified investor services.Oman's geographic position at the junction of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East continues to be a central factor in global interest. With access to more than 2.6 billion consumers and direct links to major trade routes, the country is increasingly viewed as a stable base for regional operations. Strong regulatory institutions, long-standing political neutrality, and one of the world's most stable currencies further reinforce investor confidence. Quality-of-life indicators are also contributing to global demand, with Oman ranking among the top countries worldwide for safety, climate, and purchasing power.Officials note that the programme is already complementing national efforts to attract talent and capital into priority sectors. Pathways requiring the employment of Omani nationals support the country's human-capital goals, while mandatory audits strengthen governance and operational standards among participating companies. Early interest from investors in renewable energy, logistics, advanced manufacturing, tourism, and mining aligns closely with Oman's diversification agenda under Vision 2040.As competition intensifies across global residency and citizenship programmes, Oman is positioning its model as long-term, reliable, and partnership-driven. While other regional initiatives rely heavily on short-term incentives, Oman's approach-grounded in regulatory clarity, economic stability, and a family-focused design-is steadily gaining recognition in international investment circles. Three months into its rollout, early indicators suggest the programme is on track to become a key driver of Oman's investment attractiveness in the years ahead.Further details and the full application process are available at: https://omanresidence.gov.om/About Invest OMAN:Invest Oman is the Sultanate's official gateway for strategic investment, offering investors unified access to opportunities across priority sectors aligned with Oman Vision 2040.

From tomorrow until Saturday, the exhibition will welcome industry professionals and the public with free admission. The event brings together over 260 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, providing an opportunity for design enthusiasts, buyers and members of the public to explore how design connects culture, industry and everyday life through exhibitions, dialogues and workshops.A global platform weaving creativity and commerceThe HKTDC’s commitment to promoting the development of Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries continues, cementing the city’s role as an east-meets-west centre for international cultural exchange. Since 2017, DesignInspire has provided a platform for designers, brands and creative institutions to connect with potential buyers from around the world, unlocking design-led business opportunities. Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s DesignInspire unites global creative and business talents, presenting major international collaborations that underscore the event’s mission as a world-class design platform. Artistic exchange is not only where ideas and inspiration are born – it also provides the opportunity to build new partnerships. With its unique position as a global business hub, Hong Kong is ideally placed to foster international exchanges and collaboration.”A key highlight of this year’s DesignInspire is the triumphant return of French lifestyle and design authority Maison&Objet* which presents the upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025*, bringing together 16 internationally renowned designers and artisans and more than 200 brands. Centred on the concept of “Crossroads,” the curation presents a cross-cultural design language spanning dialogue, sustainable innovation and avant-garde craft. Design Factory, curated by four international curators, features over 200 pieces that envision future living through materials, crafts and narrative, including works by French trend hunter Elizabeth Leriche and the co-founders of COLLECTIBLE, Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg. Meanwhile, Design Showcase connects seven design capitals – Dubai, Hong Kong, Milan, New Delhi, Paris, Seoul and Shanghai – each interpreting diverse lifestyles and spatial imaginations through a distinctive urban context. Italian brand Moroso presents special showcase, Resonant Landscapes, a public art installation curated by Creative Director Patrizia Moroso that fuses sculptural form and sensory experience to create a poetic encounter between art and design.Philippe Delhomme, Executive Board Chairman of Maison&Objet, said: “Thanks CCIDA and DesignInspire for the continuous support. After our first showcase in Hong Kong last year, we received positive feedback and attention. This year’s upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025 nearly doubles in scale. We will showcase the future of interior design and we look forward to gathering with global industry peers and potential buyers to explore deeper collaborations.”In its mission to connect global creativity and foster cross-industry collaboration, DesignInspire 2025 features international pavilions from places including the Chinese Mainland, Belgium, Czechia, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Korea, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, presenting a diversity of design viewpoints and cultural dialogues. The Czech Pavilion gathers Prague-based brands Artisème, Braasi Industry and Pigmentarium, showcasing Bohemian crystal and porcelain craftsmanship, handcrafted urban backpacks and artistic fragrances, and fusing centuries-old crafts with contemporary sensibilities through light, texture and scent. In addition, this year’s event features several first-time exhibitors, including the Hefei Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia and the Macao Product Design Association, to showcase creative works that highlight local characteristics.Beyond international showcases, a renowned designer and an emerging artist anchor the show’s cross-cultural narrative. BOTTEGA HONG KONG, with Alan Chan as Creative Director, along with UNVEIL LIMITED and Su Chang Design Research Office, reimagines everyday aesthetics through an “open carton” inspired by Italy’s alimentari and Hong Kong’s “si dor” neighbourhood stores. The pavilion showcases Hong Kong and Italian talent, including anothermountainman; Didi Ng, the first Hong Kong finalist of the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize; Italian fashion brand FERRAGAMO; Italian furniture design powerhouse Moroso; glass artist Lucia Massari, known for pieces created for Dolce & Gabbana Casa; Alessandro Stabile Design Studio, one of Italy’s top emerging designers; and David Leung, photographer and artist. Together they are throwing the spotlight on Hong Kong-Italy design sensibilities and cultural narratives.Curated by rising artist Chilai Howard, TINY STUDIO takes inspiration from Hong Kong’s street stall culture to shape 12 studio pavilions with unique designs, bringing fashion designer Angus Tsui, renowned illustrator Pen So, local fragrance brand BeCandle, acclaimed music producer Edward Chan, and Kelly Cheuk and Kwokin from the music video and visual production studio (Re). The set-up hosts creators from both Hong Kong and Italy working across the fields of digital art, sound, scent, sculpture and hands-on workshops, inviting visitors into immersive interactions that capture the creative energy between the two places.This year, DesignInspire has partnered with Tatler to present “The A.I. Atelier”, an experience zone that blends design and technology. Supported by Gen.T and powered by Preface—a tech-enabling company founded by Tommy Lo, an outstanding young honouree from the Tatler Generation Tomorrow Community—this zone explores creativity through artificial intelligence (AI). It analyses visitors’ unique design spirit and styles, generating personalised visual creations on the spot. This gives audiences a first-hand experience of how AI is radically reshaping design language and forging a new era of intelligent synergy between design and technology.Local exhibitors also unveil new designs, including GERI, an intelligent textile technology company, which collaborates with graphic design master Kan Tai-keung to leverage DesignInspire debuting a new series of smart handbags as a seamless fusion of innovation and craftsmanship.Global creativity converges to expand collaborative horizonsTo connect local and international cultural and creative design communities, foster collaboration, and pave the way for future industry development, DesignInspire is hosting an exclusive VIP preview today. The event brings together leading creative and cultural organisations from Hong Kong and overseas, major institutions across various sectors, international enterprises and design service users and buyers.

Highlights include “Time Warp – When Nostalgia Meets the Future”, where local studios Nopaperstudio and Hoopla unpack how retro elements and craft vocabularies evolve into contemporary visual languages, and why the trend for nostalgia resonates in a fast-paced digital era.Another session, “Future development potential of Art Toy IP”, sees international designer Winson Ma analyse industry trends and explore how designer toys forge unique value chains across art, collecting and commerce, covering licensing, production and promotion models that turn creative characters into marketable cultural icons.Other InnoTalks sessions span topics including multisensory design, sustainable interiors and more, running alongside the Maison&Objet Exhibitors’ Forum and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries D Mark Presentation. A series of creative workshops will be open to the public, where participants can experience hands-on art creation, from cyanotype printing, light sculpture and stone painting to miniature art, paper craft and candle-making. Many of the workshops draw inspiration from Hong Kong motifs, integrating local elements into creative experiences.Harnessing the power of design and art to foster community inclusionDesignInspire is also collaborating with St. James’ Creation under St. James’ Settlement to promote artistic development for people in rehabilitation, introducing “MusicCLAY – Noided Music Making Experience Workshop” – a hands-on experience combining clay art with electronic noise music. In addition, the Hong Kong YMCA’s the DOOOR arts space joins the exhibition to integrate art into the community.Running concurrently with DesignInspire are three important HKTDC-led events – Business of IP Asia Forum, Entrepreneur Day and Start-up Express: International Edition 2025 – taking place from 4 to 5 December at the HKCEC, helping to create further synergies and business opportunities.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 2, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Based on the Company's review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% CoInferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% CoThe Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: "Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project's critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit's location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project's long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework."Why Cobalt from Hat MattersCobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used in aerospace and defenseClean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systemsMore than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.Qualified PersonErik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a consulting geologist and Doubleview's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release. Mr. Ostensoe is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder of the Company.About the Hat Polymetallic DepositThe Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential. An updated MRE and PEA are underway and expected before the end of 2025.Open Pit Model HatResource CategoryTonnageAverage GradeMetal ContentCuEqCuCoAuAgCuEqCuCoAuAgMt%%%g/tg/tmillion lbmillion lbmillion lbthousand ozthousand ozIn PitIndicated1500.4080.2210.0080.190.421,353733289292,045Inferred4770.3440.1850.0090.150.493,6191,945912,3287,575 Scandium Exploration TargetThe Hat Deposit also hosts a previously disclosed exploration target of 300-500 million tonnes averaging approximately 40 ppm (0.004%) Sc₂O₃."The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource."A NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the 2024 MRE is filed on SEDAR+.On behalf of the Board of Directors,Farshad Shirvani, President & Chief Executive OfficerFor further information please contact:Doubleview Gold CorpVancouver, BC Farshad ShirvaniPresident & CEOT: (604) 678-9587E: corporate@doubleview.caForward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

香港, 2025年12月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 試驗數據再次驗證，HTD1801靶向2型糖尿病發生及發展的根源性問題，實現更全面的心血管代謝綜合獲益。君聖泰醫藥（股票代碼：2511.HK），一家專注于開發多功能創新療法，以解決代謝性慢病未滿足臨床需求的創新藥公司，宣佈HTD1801在2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者中開展的與達格列淨頭對頭的臨床III期試驗（HARMONY）取得了積極的結果，試驗達到主要終點，並在多項關鍵心血管代謝指標的改善上優於達格列淨。HARMONY（NCT06415773）是一項隨機、雙盲、陽性藥物對照的III期臨床研究（N=369），旨在評估HTD1801與達格列淨相比，在二甲雙胍治療後血糖控制不佳的成年T2DM患者中的有效性與安全性。研究的主要終點為：治療24周後HbA1c相對於基線的變化（非劣效界值為0.4%）。次要終點包括多項心血管代謝指標。- 達成主要終點：HTD1801治療24周後，HbA1c的最小二乘（LS）均值變化為-1.12%，達格列淨組為-0.93%（LS均值差異：-0.20%；95% CI：-0.37 ~ -0.03；P < 0.001）。- 達成多項次要終點：相較達格列淨，HTD1801在LDL-C與non-HDL-C降低方面明顯更優，需要新增或強化他汀類治療的患者比例也顯著低於達格列淨組。HTD1801還在多個心血管代謝指標的改善上優於達格列淨，如治療後有更高比例的患者達到HbA1c

香港, 2025年12月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，香港中國金融協會2025年度論壇「香港數字金融中心建設的機遇與挑戰」暨「跨境金融及金融創新服務大獎」颁獎典禮於香港會議展覽中心隆重舉行。本次活动由香港中國金融協會主辦，天風國際證券集團有限公司（以下簡稱「天風國際」）作為特別支持單位全程服務活動籌辦，香港中國金融協會永遠名譽主席胡章宏，香港大學經管學院教授、香港中國金融協會顧問、中誠信國際首席經濟學家毛振華，泰康保險集團執行副總裁兼首席投資官、泰康資產總經理兼首席執行官段國聖，HashKey集團新加坡总裁兼HashKey Capital首席執行官鄧超等出席活动並担任論壇重要演講嘉宾，圍繞「香港金融角色再定位」、「變局環境下資產管理行業的挑戰與應對」、「加密資產行業現狀與趨勢」等主題，共議香港金融同業如何「破局金融未來」。論壇吸引了香港政商界領袖、上市公司負責人、知名經濟學家、相關行業專家等近300位嘉賓出席。主禮嘉賓及香港中國金融協會代表合影留念以聯通為錨，共探數字金融中心建設盡管當前全球政經格局複雜多變，香港仍保持著領先的國際金融中心地位。2025年，香港在金融科技領域排名躍升至全球首位，在多個金融行業領域從業員的評價中，香港亦名列前茅，其中在「銀行業」、「投資管理」、「保險業」及「融資」均繼續保持全球三甲內。伴隨國際經濟多元化趨勢加强，香港作爲中外資產的「超級聯繫人」和「超級增值人」角色愈加凸顯。香港中國金融協會主席孟羽在視頻致辭中指出，香港背靠祖國、聯通世界，「一國兩制」的獨特優勢為香港築牢了行穩致遠的發展根基，金融業的創新發展亦將為香港經濟社會的持續繁榮增添動力。「本次活動緊扣跨境金融與科技創新深度融合的時代命題，在匯聚行業專家探討金融数字化趋势、真实世界资产代币化落地等發展方向之外，期望發掘更多引領行業發展的創新實踐,著力推動香港金融行業在變局中化挑戰為機遇」,孟羽補充。香港中國金融協會主席孟羽視頻致辭胡章宏在致辭中強調，當前，國家正堅定不移地推進金融強國建設，並提出了要做好科技、綠色、普惠、養老、數字等關於金融的五篇大文章的戰略部署。「國家的戰略藍圖，為香港金融業的發展提供了前所未有機遇，也賦予了香港特殊的歷史使命--那就是成為國家金融戰略的『超級聯繫人』，將國家宏觀戰略與全球金融市場精準對接，在服務國家大局中實現自身更大的發展。」香港中國金融協會永遠名譽主席胡章宏作開幕致辭毛振華表示，當前香港依然是中國與國際進行資本往來的重要橋樑。「在外國直接投資方面，我們有60%的資金通過香港進入內地;在境外直接投資方面，也有60%以上的資金首先抵達香港。整體上，香港仍然是中國資本出海的首選。」他說。他進一步指出，香港正從傳統、單一資本通道，擴展為提供全鏈條金融與專業服務的綜合平台。面對中國企業從「産能出海」邁向「技術與模式出海」的新浪潮，香港憑藉與國際完全接軌的法律、金融及專業服務體系，正成為護航中國資本全球化配置、對接國際標準運營的關鍵支點。中誠信集團董事長、香港大學經管學院教授、香港特首政策專家組成員毛振華作主旨演講在資產管理方面，段國聖認為，當前行業主要面臨人工智能技術革新與國際環境變化的雙重挑戰。他觀察到，國際資管巨頭已將AI深度應用於投資研究、策略構建及風險管理，所以中港機構在此領域應積極佈局大數據、人工智能在信息收集、研究、投資決策、投資策略及風險控制等諸多領域的工作，並構建系統化的投資。此外，他還倡導行業應堅守中性策略，避免極端路徑，並指出構建絕對收益能力，方能在變局中立於不敗之地。泰康保險集團執行副總裁兼首席投資官、泰康資產總經理兼首席執行官段國聖作主旨演講與此同時，香港更是推動數字金融及數字資產發展的先行者。鄧超指出：「香港早於2018年已推出虛擬資產監管框架，時至今日，其在監管、牌照與產品等方面均處於亞洲領先地位。」他進一步表示，當前數字資產行業已超越早期的技術探索，正邁向以金融應用為主導的「專業化」與「機構化」新階段。他認為，鏈上資產資本化與線下資產鏈上化的雙向奔赴,將成為行業發展最具有革命性的趨勢。在此趨勢下，加密貨幣及代幣化將成為未來金融行業監管的重要任務。 HashKey集團新加坡總裁兼HashKey Capital首席執行官鄧超作主旨演講以科技為軸，携手開拓金融破局之道本次年度主題論壇特設圓桌討論，該環節由香港中國金融協會副主席、香港金融科技公司Volmart首席執行官楊再勇主持，並邀請到招銀國際資產管理部主管、董事總經理白海峰，中國太保投資管理有限公司行政總裁及執行董事周成崗，浩宸律師事務所合夥人李再浩, SNZ Holding首席投資官王克一一同，圍繞「香港RWA的實例與挑戰」話題，就RWA(現實世界資產)核心價值、香港優勢、行業現狀與挑戰等方面深入交流,共同展望未來香港RWA的發展方向。（從左至右）香港中國金融協會副主席、Volmart首席執行官楊再勇，招銀國際資產管理部主管、董事總經理白海峰，中國太保投資管理有限公司行政總裁及執行董事周成崗，浩宸律師事務所合夥人李再浩, SNZ Holding首席投資官王克一。白海峰指出，RWA在鏈上的交易效率遠超傳統支付網路，展現了可編程金融的巨大潛力。他預期，在2025年香港穩定幣監管條例落地後，合規穩定幣將釋放更大能量。周成崗與李再浩則強調了RWA在解決流動性、降低投資門檻及實現全球資產准入方面的潛力。周成崗稱，RWA通過代幣化，可以將原本僅面向特定投資者的資產開放給更廣泛的零售市場，甚至實現全球範圍的資產准入，進而形成新金融範式。李再浩則以自身為例，指出代幣化將能讓他國投資者更方便地在香港進行投資。從Web3視角出發，王克一表示，RWA的價值基礎在於區塊鏈提供的信任與安全，同時RWA在效率以及隱私等方面也有獨特價值貢獻。談及行業現狀，白海峰認為，RWA的價值仍然要取決於資產上鏈後能否解決實際痛點，不能為上鏈而上鏈。周成岗呼籲RWA行業自律,且需通過進一步制定行業準則、代表行業與監管溝通，以推動健康發展。嘉賓們對香港RWA短期内的發展均持審慎樂觀態度，認為需要時間讓市場和監管逐步成熟，但中長期來看，仍對香港成為全球RWA中心充滿信心。以創新為翼，齊聚英才見證發展成果年度論壇之后，2025年度「跨境金融及金融創新服務大獎」颁獎典禮隆重舉行。本届大獎以「破局金融未來」為主題，聚焦跨境金融、科技金融與綠色金融等前沿領域，並突破性地採用通證化投票方式，旨在為香港金融業界提供一個優質的業務成果展示平台,在促進行業交流、促成業務合作之餘，號召業界人士攜手推動香港金融業轉型升級。大獎設置卓越方案獎、優秀方案獎兩大類別。經過嚴格評審，獲得卓越方案獎的團隊共3個(排名不分先後)，分別來自光銀國際資本有限公司、工銀資管(全球)有限公司、交通銀行(香港)有限公司。香港中國金融協會副主席、野村證券中國首席經濟學家陸挺，香港中國金融協會副主席、國泰海通獨立非執行董事、交銀國際非執行董事、弘源資本高級顧問浦永灝為獲獎團隊頒發獎項。香港中國金融協會副主席、野村證券中國首席經濟學家陸挺（右一），香港中國金融協會副主席、海通國際獨立非執行董事、交銀國際非執行董事、弘源資本高級顧問浦永灝（左一）與獲獎團隊合影留念獲得優秀方案獎的團隊共11個(以下排名不分先後) 。香港中國金融協會副主席、時和資產管理有限公司董事長兼總裁陳東，香港中國金融協會副主席、美銀美林亞太區董事總經理劉瑾為獲獎團隊頒獎，他們分別是：創興銀行有限公司、招商永隆銀行有限公司、中國建設銀行(亞洲)股份有限公司、中國工商銀行（亞洲）有限公司、泰康資產管理（香港）有限公司。香港中國金融協會副主席、時和資產管理有限公司董事長兼總裁陳東（左一）,香港中國金融協會副主席、美銀美林亞太區董事總經理劉瑾（右一）與獲獎團隊合影留念泰康保險集團執行副總裁兼首席投資官、泰康資產總經理兼首席執行官段國聖，香港中國金融協會副主席、天風國際行政總裁鄒傳為獲獎團隊頒獎，他們分別是：國聯證券（香港）有限公司、中國銀河國際控股有限公司、亞丁金融集團有限公司、招銀國際資產管理有限公司、CHAMP ACE District、聯合評級國際有限公司。泰康保險集團執行副總裁兼首席投資官、泰康資產總經理兼首席執行官段國聖（左一），香港中國金融協會副主席、天風國際行政總裁鄒傳（右一）與獲獎團隊合影留念展望未來，香港中國金融協會將積極響應國家金融强國戰略，把握好香港作爲國際金融中心的區域優勢，面向世界、聯通內外，以金融創新引領行業升級，以數字科技破局金融未來,持續為香港金融行業的可持續發展注入新動能。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
