Preface

Distinguish Guests, Members, Ladies and Gentleman:

Welcome and thank you for making the time to our 2017-2018 HKCCMA Annual General Meeting. I believe, the present Sino-America Trade dispute not only affected Hong Kong but also to some extent each and everyone present. We being a member of the Credit profession can and be able to professionalism in this adverse condition and be victories at the end.

Let us recap the affairs of the Association for the past year;

1) Education:

In July and September 2018, the Association held seminars. The first seminar was legally related topic regarding the litigation procedures in PRC. The second one related to the impact on the Credit Practitioner under 'Digital Transformation'. These two seminars were well supported by the members with large attendances. Our sincere thanks goes to Mr. Bobby Rozario of Alpha Lender and Ms Galina Ho of CRIF for their support and assistance.

Our Association was honoured to be invited by International Credit and Collections Board to attend an international conference in France on the application of Global Data Protection Standard (GDPS) issued by the European Union. Our Association was represented by Mr. Benedict Wong of TCL. In the Conference, different delegate expressed opinion on the possible impact of such Standard relating to their country.
