On July 18, 2025, the Inaugural Board of Directors Ceremony of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX) was successfully held alongside the 115th Anniversary Gala of the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society, marking a historic moment for Hong Kong’s precious metals industry. The event gathered key leaders from both government and industry, with Chief Executive John Lee delivering a keynote speech. He highlighted the city's growing momentum in gold trading—daily turnover of 99 Gold reached HKD 940 million last year (up 28% YoY), and further surged to HKD 1.2 billion in Q1 2025—underscoring the strength and resilience of Hong Kong's gold market.

Our participation not only reflects our longstanding commitment to the development of Hong Kong’s gold market, but also affirms our position as a recognized and professional precious metals trading platform supported by the Hong Kong Gold Exchange.
During the ceremony, HKGX Chairman Mr. Zhang Deshi unveiled the Exchange’s development roadmap, emphasizing the unique advantages of the "One Country, Two Systems" framework. He reiterated Hong Kong’s pivotal role as a bridge between the international and mainland gold markets, and outlined the ambition to establish the city as a super connector for Eastern and Western gold trade under the “Belt and Road” initiative.
