BUSINESS REVIEW, PROSPECTS AND FUTUREPLAN The year 2023 was quite a volatile year for investing in thelisted securities both Hong Kong, the People’s of the Republicof China (the “PRC”) and United States of America (the “US”).In 2023, both the Hong Kong stock market and the PRC stockmarket experienced a continuation of vulnerabilities. 22,688.914% Themarket rallied in early January 2023 as Hong Kongopenedits border with the PRC,reaching its 2023 high of22,688.9 on January 2023. Since then, interest rate hikes and asluggish PRC’s economy have dealt it a double blow. The HangSeng Index fell 14% in 2023. Hong Kong’s stock market, whichincludes shares of many Chinese companies, one of the reasonsfor the unfavorable performance of Hong Kong’s stock market wasdisappointment in PRC post-COVID recovery. Asthe US Federal Reserve raised interest rates furtherin2023,Hong Kong’s interest rates also gradually increased,draggingdown the total fixed capital formation,which reflectsinvestment. With the US interest rate remaining at a high leveland the US currency strengthening, it triggered a capital outflowfrom the Hong Kong stock market, which also affected the HongKong stock market and even the overall economy. TheGroup expects the stock market and economy ofthePRC and Hong Kong will continue to struggle betweencontinuation of uncertainty in 2023. The PRC is the top principaltrading partner of Hong Kong, so its economy will definitely affectthe Hong Kong’s economy. TheGroup will closely monitor the development of theexternal environment and continue to evaluate its impact on ourbusiness, financial position and operating results. CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Lookingahead to the year 2024,the Company will stayin focus to invest in trading securities, private equity funds andprivate enterprises with potential prospect. Our approach will keeptimely and appropriate investment strategies in response to thevolatile market, in order
