APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting to Convene in Hong Kong on Oct. 20-21

Sunday, October 18, 2026 · World News · GSM News

The APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting will be held in Hong Kong on Oct. 20-21, bringing together finance ministers and central bank and financial officials from the bloc's 21 member economies to discuss the regional economic outlook, fiscal policy and digital finance. Reuters reported earlier that Taiwan's Finance Minister Chuang Tsui-yun will attend the meeting. China is the APEC host economy for 2026, with the leaders' meeting scheduled for November in Shenzhen; the finance ministers' gathering is one of the year's key ministerial events, and it marks Hong Kong's first time hosting an APEC finance ministers' meeting since 1997. Financial Secretary Paul Chan has said Hong Kong can help other economies develop, as capital needs and companies' outbound ambitions converge in the city. APEC's 21 member economies together account for roughly 60 percent of global trade and output. GSM will continue to follow the meeting's outcomes.
