????香港金融服務(wù)發(fā)展局（Financial Services Development Council）主席史美倫女士在亞洲頂級(jí)商界女性聚會(huì)上表示，香港要想保持在全球的重要地位，必須開發(fā)出其他金融服務(wù)能力和專業(yè)領(lǐng)域。

????史美倫在《財(cái)富》最具影響力商界女性亞洲峰會(huì)（Fortune Most Powerful Women Asia）上說：“我們承擔(dān)不起停滯不前的代價(jià)。因?yàn)閯e人正在迎頭趕上。”此次峰會(huì)聚集了亞洲地區(qū)大多數(shù)最具影響力的商界、政界、教育界和藝術(shù)界的女性精英。

????史美倫女士與《財(cái)富》雜志執(zhí)行編輯蘇安迪進(jìn)行了交流，他們從中國政府的改革談到了日本的安倍經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)。她還拿《財(cái)富》雜志1995年的一篇文章《香港之死》（The Death of Hong Kong）開玩笑。那篇文章預(yù)測(cè)香港最終將失去金融和商業(yè)中心的地位。

????史美倫的非官方咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)正在搜集有關(guān)建議，探討如何保持香港的金融活力，供香港政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和監(jiān)管者參考。她表示，香港“可能忽視了”某些領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展，比如銀行業(yè)后臺(tái)服務(wù)、結(jié)算和采購等。她說，顧問委員會(huì)正在鼓勵(lì)政府投入資源，發(fā)展新的增長領(lǐng)域。

????史美倫同時(shí)在匯豐香港公司（HHSBC）和聯(lián)合利華（Unliever）擔(dān)任獨(dú)立董事，她明確表示自己“看好亞洲”。因?yàn)椴粌H在中國，印尼和印度等國家的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)也在迅速崛起，這些國家蘊(yùn)含著持續(xù)增長的機(jī)會(huì)，“正在經(jīng)歷人口的迅速增長，而且有良好的跡象表明，這些國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)擁有廣闊的發(fā)展前景。”（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????Hong Kong needs to develop additional financial-services capabilities and areas of expertise if it wants to remain a top global player, Laura Cha, chairman of Hong Kong's Financial Services Development Council, told a group of leading businesswomen here.

????"We cannot afford to stand still," Cha said at Fortune Most Powerful Women Asia, an inaugural gathering of mostly Asia-based powerful women in business, politics, education and the arts. "Because other people are already moving ahead."

????As part of a wide-ranging conversation on everything from Chinese government reforms to Japan's Abenomics Cha and interviewer Andy Serwer, managing editor of Fortune, joked about a 1995 Fortune article entitled "The Death of Hong Kong," which predicted the demise of its role as a financial and commercial hub.

????Cha's non-governmental advisory group is pulling together recommendations for government leaders and regulators to consider as part of efforts to keep the Hong Kong's financial sector vibrant. She said Hong Kong "may have neglected" the development of certain areas such as banking back office, settlement and procurement. Cha said the advisory committee is encouraging the government to put resources into development of new growth areas.

????More broadly Cha, who also serves as an independent director of HHSBC (HBC) and Unliever (UL) declared herself "bullish on Asia," noting the rising middle class and the continued opportunities not only in China but also Indonesia and India, countries with "huge population growth, and good indications that their economies will go quite far."?????
