The much-heralded gathering of global bankers and financiers ended on Thursday on an optimistic note about Hong Kong’s prospects, as overseas attendees hailed their unhindered participation as proof that the city can put its coronavirus restrictions behind it and get back to business.

The message that was repeated and reinforced throughout the three days of the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit was that it is “business as usual” in Hong Kong, even if the city had been slower than other countries in opening its borders to corporate and leisure travel.
