Hong Kong as an International Insolvency Hub
香港作为国际破产中心
An important but less often talked about infrastructure behind Hong Kong as an international capital market is its insolvency regime, which is efficient and effective in protecting the interests of creditors and companies alike. It is also in tune with and regularly invoked alongside other common law insolvency jurisdictions as well as the Mainland insolvency regime in myriad cross-border cases. This lecture will provide an overview of this interesting and developing regime.香港作为国际资本市场背后的一个重要但较少被提及的基础设施是其破产制度，该制度在保护债权人和公司利益方面效率高、效果好。它也和其他普通法破产司法管辖区以及大陆破产制度在众多跨境案件中保持一致，并经常被引用。本次讲座将对这个有趣且正在发展的制度进行概述。
