In their meeting, the banks agreed to strengthen cooperation on crypto regulations (which they refer to as “virtual assets”). The two authorities say they’ll now establish a joint working group. “Hong Kong and the UAE are two financial centers sharing many complementary strengths and mutual interests, and there is much room for market participants from these two places to work together and build up the connectivity,” Eddie Yue, chief executive of the HKMA, said. Banks such as First Abu Dhabi Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank and Emirates NBD represented the UAE. Meanwhile, Bank of China, Citi, HSBC, and Standard Chartered showed up for Hong Kong.
