The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (HKMC) has signed a MoU with China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) in Hong Kong, focusing on co-operation in Infrastructure Financing and Securitisation (IFS).

The two parties will work together in areas including capital market opportunities linked to infrastructure assets, broadening the investor base, and exploring renminbi-denominated options for infrastructure loan securitisation.

The aim is to strengthen Hong Kong’s role as an infrastructure financing hub and support investment and financing flows in the sector.

Colin Pou, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the HKMC, said:

“The HKMC’s IFS platform has grown significantly in recent years, and we continue to expand collaboration with industry participants in developing the market. A partnership with CICC is expected to take our business forward, enabling both sides to pursue the shared goal of promoting Hong Kong as an infrastructure financing hub.”

Chen Liang, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Management Committee of CICC, commented:

“CICC has a long history of engagement in international financial markets, which allows us to combine a global perspective with deep knowledge of the Chinese market. We look forward to strengthening collaboration with the government-owned platform of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as this partnership has the potential to elevate China’s role in global finance, enhance our standing with international clients and investors, and support the next phase of high-level opening up.”
