Dun & Bradstreet Shares Industry Insights on Cross Boundary Credit Referencing at HKMA Symposium

Dun & Bradstreet was pleased to participate in the recent industry dialogue hosted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). The event brought together leaders across the banking and data community to explore the future of cross boundary credit referencing and data validation in the Greater Bay Area.

Mr. Jerry Hung, Director and Co-Head of Hong Kong Client Management at Dun & Bradstreet, shared insights on how data innovation is shaping this next stage of development. He highlighted how banks and financial service providers are increasingly adopting alternative data, including litigation information, ownership structures and corporate linkages, to address information gaps, strengthen risk assessment and support better decisions for cross-boundary businesses.

He noted that these advanced data approaches are helping organizations overcome long standing information asymmetry, enabling more precise evaluation of credit risk and improving access to financing for companies that operate across the Greater Bay Area. His contribution demonstrated Dun & Bradstreet’s continued commitment to supporting the financial community with transparent, reliable and scalable data solutions that enable responsible growth.

The discussion focused on the growing need for more connected, transparent and trusted data flows between Hong Kong and Mainland China. As financial institutions support a rising number of enterprises and individuals operating across the region, the ability to verify information efficiently and assess creditworthiness with greater accuracy is becoming increasingly important.

As integration within the Greater Bay Area continues to progress, Dun & Bradstreet will maintain close collaboration with industry partners, regulators and technology stakeholders. The company remains focused on contributing to initiatives that enhance data connectivity, support sound risk management practices and strengthen the long-term development of the regional financial ecosystem.
