Hong Kong is building a comprehensive gold industry ecosystem, with Wanzhou Gold participating in the city's development into an international gold trading hub.
On July 7, 2026, the Hong Kong Gold Central Clearing System went into trial operation. Forty-one institutions joined as the first batch of participants, and the system recorded over USD 300 million in transaction volume on its debut day.
Built on the internationally prevalent unallocated account model, the system enables seamless physical gold connectivity between Shanghai and Hong Kong, and rolls out the "HAU" code serving as the Asian gold pricing benchmark.
The HKSAR Government has explicitly stated that this initiative represents a critical step in delivering the 15th Five-Year Plan and developing Hong Kong’s commodity trading ecosystem.
Hong Kong is evolving from a traditional trading market into a full-value-chain international hub that integrates clearing, pricing and physical delivery.
As a Class AA Registered Participant (No. 141) of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange, Wanzhou Gold upholds strict compliance standards under the new clearing framework, and supports Hong Kong in consolidating its status as the global gold "safe haven".
As John Lee put it — Hong Kong is the safe haven for gold.
