According to CoinMeta, from October 20th to 21st, 2026, the 33rd APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Finance Ministers' Meeting was held in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. Lan Fo'an, the Minister of Finance, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech, with Liao Min, the Deputy Minister of Finance, speaking on behalf of China. Lan Fo'an pointed out that the current international situation is marked by intertwined turmoil, and geopolitical conflicts are having an outward impact, posing multiple challenges to global economic growth. As the main economic cooperation platform in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC actively promotes open cooperation among its members, strengthens macroeconomic policy coordination, and drives regional economic integration to contribute to the common development and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. All parties should firmly implement the consensus reached at the APEC Leaders' Informal Meeting, adhere to multilateralism, deepen practical cooperation in the financial and economic fields, and make contributions to regional economic and financial stability as well as long-term sustainable growth. Lan Fo'an also introduced China's economy, noting its continuous improvement and positive trends. He emphasized that China will unswervingly pursue high-quality development, accelerate the cultivation of new drivers of growth, focus on expanding domestic demand, and continue to expand opening up at a high level. With new achievements in Chinese-style modernization, China aims to provide new opportunities for the development of the Asia-Pacific region and the world.
