普华永道中国

On this #WorldRareDiseaseDay, #PwCChina reaffirms our commitment to building a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive future for all. In China, we’ve donated RMB 1 million to the Beijing PwC Zhong Tian Charitable Foundation to launch the Rare Disease Infant Family Relief Project, which provides critical financial aid to rural families in Bijie, Guizhou. Our people have also stepped up to support children battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare condition that causes muscle degeneration. Five PwC runners conquered a 10km Standard Chartered Charity Run to fundraise for Families of SMA Foundation (FSMA), while our colleagues and partners amplified the impact through donations. Every contribution directly funds life-changing medical equipment and home care solutions for SMA families. To our runners, donors, and advocates: thank you! Together, we show that empathy and action can uplift even the most vulnerable voices. #PwC #PwCProud #RunForRare #RareButStrong

The transaction volume of China’s M&A market increased by 24% year-on-year due to a significant rebound in #venturecapital activity, but total value fell 16% to US$277 billion, making a recent low. While challenges remain, many positive factors are also expected to have a favourable impact on the M&A market.   Ongoing state-owned enterprise (SOE) reform has led to large-scale transactions, while multinational companies are taking measures to optimise their investment portfolios. This has also resulted in a growing demand for overseas investments by Chinese capital, especially in Southeast Asia, and a large number of #privateequity projects seeking exits. Therefore, we anticipate that M&A transactions in 2025 could achieve double-digit volume growth from 2024 levels. David Brown Sam Sze   #PwC #PwCChina #MergersAcquisitions

At today’s #PwC Hong Kong Budget Forum, moderator Peter Brewin, Partner of PwC Hong Kong, discussed with expert panellists Angelina Kwan, Senior Advisor to IMC Asia Pacific, David Wong, Chairman of the Education Commission, and Jackie Yan, Economist of PwC Hong Kong, how the Budget plays its role in the Hong Kong economy and its impact on businesses. Despite economic headwinds in this uncertain business environment and the challenge of the Hong Kong government’s budget deficit position, the panel is confident that Hong Kong will emerge stronger through the comprehensive array of policies and initiatives designed to stimulate economic growth and enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness, with a clear vision to attract enterprises, capital and talent. With #HKBudget2025 covering a wide spectrum of areas, the focus is how swiftly the HKSAR Government can implement these initiatives to the greatest effect and elevate Hong Kong’s role as the international business centre for the global market, acting as the super connector bridging the Chinese Mainland and global markets.

PwC kicked off the first day of Consensus Hong Kong 2025 by hosting the inaugural Digital Asset CFO Network lunch, bringing together digital asset finance leaders from across the Asia Pacific region. Based on a poll of our digital asset finance leaders conducted prior to the event, the top issues currently on their agendas include: • Managing regulatory developments (70%) • IPO readiness and access to capital markets (50%) • Gaining access to payment rails and banking (50%) • Finance operating model and technology solutions (e.g. ERP systems) (40%) • Digital asset treasury management (40%) With Hong Kong’s established Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) licensing regime for #VirtualAssets now in place, the focus is now on attracting global liquidity, expanding product offerings like staking and margin trading, and enhancing custody technology options. There was agreement from those attending that the SFC’s regulatory roadmap for Hong Kong’s virtual asset market is positive for the industry, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this transformation. The proposals in this roadmap, combined with access to Hong Kong’s leading banking infrastructure, creates a formula that really can make having a Hong Kong licensed VATP compelling for global digital assets businesses. At #PwC, we’re committed to bridging the gap between #Web3 and traditional finance, helping digital assets companies grow and thrive.

The digital assets world has come to Hong Kong this week! We had 14 members of PwC Hong Kong’s digital assets team at Consensus Hong Kong today as well as several members from our international network. The most exciting development so far is the announcement from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) regarding the roadmap for virtual asset regulation that was released today. Now that Hong Kong has an established #SFC licensing regime for #VirtualAssets, Hong Kong’s focus is shifting to market development. The objective is to bring global digital asset liquidity to Hong Kong. The roadmap will look to grow access, build safeguards, and expand platforms’ product base to cover staking and margin trading. It will also increase flexibility regarding custody technology options and enhance relationships with industry stakeholders. #PwC helps digital assets companies grow, and we are well positioned to bridge the gaps between #Web3 and traditional finance.  Ready to frame the future fabric of finance?
