On 10 September 2025, the Insurance Authority ("IA") organized a thematic breakout session at the Belt and Road Summit, emphasizing the strategic significance of captives as a specialized risk management tool for Belt and Road projects. Moderated by Mr. Clement Lau, Executive Director, Policy and Legislation of the IA, the session explored the role of captives in navigating complex and emerging risks.
Participation included CEOs of two Hong Kong-domiciled captive insurers—one established by a Mainland enterprise and the other by a multinational conglomerate. They shared their experiences in setting up captives and highlighted the benefits of using them to manage risks. Professional service providers also contributed by discussing their roles in facilitating captive establishment and management.
The session also covered why Hong Kong aims to become a leading hub for captives, the IA's supportive measures for captive development, and the future potential of the Hong Kong captive market.
