CMU OmniClear welcomes the 2026-27 Budget
CMU OmniClear Limited (CMU OmniClear) welcomes the 2026-27 Budget announced by the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan today (25 February), especially the various measures on strengthening market systems, enhancing international connectivity, and promoting digital asset development.
Mr Stanley Chan, Group Chief Executive Officer of CMU OmniClear Holdings and Chief Executive Officer of CMU OmniClear said, “We have begun the study on the establishment of a one‑stop multi‑asset class post‑trade securities infrastructure to cover Mainland and Hong Kong equity and debt securities, and will continue to expand the international connectivity of the Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU). We are also proactively preparing for the launch of equity post-trade services. These will enable investors to allocate and manage their diversified asset portfolios more efficiently.”
Mr Chan continued, “CMU OmniClear has been supporting digital bond issuances in multiple currencies by a diverse range of issuers across various jurisdictions, facilitating fundraising that has reached an equivalent of HK$21.9 billion since its establishment. We will develop CMU OmniClear’s digital asset platform this year, and will gradually extend our services beyond digital bonds to other digital assets and build linkages with other tokenisation platforms in the region. We are also pleased to see that the Government announced that it would attract high-quality issuers to increase RMB bond issuance in Hong Kong and would explore further enhancements to the Bond Connect scheme. CMU OmniClear will proactively support relevant measures and enhance services so as to strengthen Hong Kong’s bond market, developing Hong Kong as a global fixed income and currency hub.”
