[Relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance looks forward to key issues at the 2026 APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting] October 14th, the 33rd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers’ Meeting will be held in Hong Kong, China from October 20th to 21st. A few days ago, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance introduced the key issues, expected results and other relevant information of this Finance Ministers’ Meeting. This year is the third time that China has served as the host of APEC. "Revolving around the theme of APEC's 'Year of China' and the three major priority areas, combined with the new situation facing the current economic development in the Asia-Pacific, we have proposed four key topics on financial channels: fiscal policies to support people's livelihood development, digital infrastructure financing, promoting the development of inclusive finance based on local conditions, and promoting exchanges and cooperation among APEC youth financial talents," the person in charge said. The person in charge said that these issues are both current and long-term. At present, all economies are generally faced with the tasks of stabilizing growth, preventing risks, and protecting people's livelihood. They urgently need to strengthen macroeconomic policy communication and coordination, and adopt appropriate fiscal and financial policies to better support innovation and inclusive development. At the same time, the accelerated development of new technologies such as digitalization and artificial intelligence has not only brought about new investment and financing needs for digital infrastructure, but also highlighted the importance of strengthening exchanges and mutual learning among young financial talents and improving future policy formulation capabilities.
