汇丰集团高管：中国市场为海外投资者提供富有吸引力的发展机遇

China's economy presents long-term growth potential and attractive opportunities for overseas companies and investors, said Nuno Matos, CEO of Wealth and Personal Banking of HSBC Group, in a recent written interview with Xinhua.

Matos said that looking back to 2022, China and Asian markets have shown strong resilience, adding that the recovery of China's economy from the impact of the pandemic is "occurring at a faster pace than expected, laying a solid foundation for 2023."
马托斯说，回顾2022年，中国及亚洲市场展现了强大韧性。“中国经济从疫情影响中恢复的步伐比预期更快，这为2023年的发展奠定了稳固基础。”

He said HSBC Group had recently raised its forecast for China's economic growth to 5.6 percent in 2023 from the original 5.0 percent while expecting a rebound in consumption to be the main driver of growth in China, particularly in the services sector.
他说，汇丰集团近期将2023年中国经济增速预期由原先的5.0%上调至5.6%，同时预计消费反弹将成为今年中国经济增长主要动力，特别是在服务业领域。

HSBC Group also expected China's household wealth to grow by around 8.5 percent annually in the next few years, with investable household assets topping 300 trillion yuan ($43.5 trillion) in 2025, "providing a good wealth base for the development of Chinese society," Matos said.
汇丰集团预计，未来几年中国家庭财富将以每年8.5%的速度增长，到2025年，中国家庭的可投资资产预计将突破300万亿元人民币。马托斯说，这为中国社会的发展提供了良好的财富基础。

The banker also said China has been committed to opening its financial sector and developing a sustainable, innovative economy over many years. "We welcome measures that promote the opening-up of the financial services sector. The number of foreign investors and the volume of foreign investment in China have both increased as a result," he said.
马托斯说，多年来，中国始终致力于推动金融业对外开放，积极推动创新驱动的可持续发展。“我们欢迎中国在推动金融开放方面持续出台政策措施，这让中国境外投资者的数量和投资规模持续增长。”

He believed that foreign investment can play a critical role in developing green financial markets and that "the depth of China's capital markets underpins its ambition of becoming a global leader in this space."
他认为，外资在发展绿色金融市场方面可以发挥重要作用，“中国资本市场的深度决定了其具备成为全球绿色金融市场引领者的潜力”。

Matos noted that accelerating the expansion of wealth, private banking, insurance and asset management businesses is a strategic priority for HSBC in the Chinese mainland. These areas have achieved solid business momentum in recent years.
马托斯指出，加快发展财富管理、私人银行、保险和资产管理业务，是汇丰集团在中国内地业务的战略重点，近年来在这些领域取得了稳健增长。

"HSBC's commitment to supporting China's continued economic growth and internationalization remains as strong as ever -- and is still growing," Matos said.
马托斯表示，“未来汇丰集团将继续投资中国市场，进一步支持中国经济的持续增长以及与全球市场的深度融合”。
