为期两日的第33届APEC财长会昨日在香港闭幕，所有21个成员经济体均派出了财政部长或高级财金代表出席。会议审议通过两份战略声明，形成两份成果报告，凝聚三大共识，为深化亚太财经合作提供重要指引。香港不仅为会议提供高质量服务保障，更从中收获多方面机遇与启发。接下来应把盛会带来的机遇切实转化为经济效益和发展实效，为香港巩固提升独特优势、促进经济高质量发展增添新动能。

正如中国财政部部长蓝佛安所说，当前国际形势变乱交织，世界经济增长既面临多重挑战，亦迎来发展新机遇，各方更需要坚持多边主义，深化财金领域务实合作。此次APEC财长香港会议，核准并发表了APEC财长联合声明和亚太地区数字基础设施融资政策声明，为亚太经济体深化财经合作明确方向，提供指引；形成《支持民生发展与投资于人》财政政策报告与《亚太地区普惠金融创新实践案例集》两份成果文件；凝聚了三大核心共识，包括加强宏观政策协调以应对外部风险、推进财经务实合作助力亚太可持续发展、深化区域一体化构建亚太共同体。

尤其值得一提的是，中方发起并举办的APEC青年财经人才交流合作项目，汇聚亚太青年专才、共话数字创新与发展，获各方高度肯定，原则支持持续推进。会议取得的丰硕成果，有力彰显了推动多边主义、携手构建更紧密亚太共同体的中国智慧与中国方案，其中也包括了独特的香港贡献。

香港通过成功承办此次会议，收获的不仅是“盛事经济”效益，更是在国际顶级平台的展示机会和诸多发展机遇。首先，承办财长会彰显了香港国际金融中心地位，以及“一国两制”下内联外通独特优势。正是凭借这一制度优势，持续沟通中西、联结内外，香港才能在今天有底气、有能力承办如此高规格的国际盛会。其二，会议扩大了香港的国际经贸“朋友圈”，来自亚太各经济体的代表亲临香江，交流合作之门由此开得更大。其三，是次盛会亦是大湾区融合与联动效应的完美展现，香港作为“超级联系人”与“超级增值人”的角色愈加凸显。在主会议之外，特区政府还精心安排了丰富的场外文化参访，让约五百位与会外宾沉浸式感受香港的安全、高效与澎湃活力，以直观见闻展示香港魅力。

这场盛会的成功举办亦带给香港深刻的启发。“国安才能港安”，稳定是繁荣发展的绝对基石。对比12年前香港因社会动荡与APEC财长会失之交臂的遗憾，正因为香港维护了国家安全、社会大局稳定，才有今日盛事不断的景象。此次会议达成的共识与核心议题，也为香港高质量发展提供了指引。

“一国两制”是香港的最大优势，也是其他任何城市都没有的有利条件，此次盛会让世界再次看见香港独一无二的优势与魅力。会议的成功举办只是起点，下一步应该把会议达成的数字基础设施融资、普惠金融等亚太共识，转化为长期的多边合作项目与落地的金融产品。\节录自《大公报》2026年10月22日社评

Turning APEC's practical outcomes into new momentum for development

The two-day 33rd  Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers' Meeting concluded yesterday in Hong Kong. All 21 member economies sent their finance ministers or senior finance representatives. The meeting adopted two strategic statements, produced two deliverables and reached three major consensuses, providing important guidance for deepening Asia-Pacific financial and economic cooperation. Not only did Hong Kong provided high-quality service and support for the meeting but it also gained numerous opportunities and insights. Moving forward, the opportunities presented by this event should be effectively turned into economic benefits and development outcomes, adding new momentum to Hong Kong's efforts to consolidate and enhance its unique advantages and promote high-quality economic development.

As Chinese Finance Minister Lan Fo'an said, the international situation is marked by intertwined turbulence and transformation, and the world economic growth faces multiple challenges but also new opportunities for development. All parties must therefore uphold multilateralism and double down on practical cooperation in the financial and fiscal fields. The APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in Hong Kong adopted the 2026 APEC Finance Ministers' Joint Statement and the Policy Statement on Digital Infrastructure Financing Across the Asia-Pacific Region, steering the course for deepening financial cooperation among Asia-Pacific economies. It also produced two deliverables: the Report on Supporting Households and Investing in Human Capital and the Compendium on Financial Access and Opportunity for All. Furthermore, the meeting forged　　three core consensuses: strengthening macroeconomic policy coordination to address external risks, promoting pragmatic financial cooperation to support sustainable development in the 　　Asia-Pacific region, and deepening regional integration to build an Asia-Pacific Community.

It is particularly worth noting that the APEC Youth Finance and Economics Talent Exchange and Cooperation Program initiated and hosted by China, which has brought together young professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region to discuss digital innovation and development, earns widespread acclaim and principled support for its continued advancement. The fruitful results achieved at the meeting speaks volumes about China's wisdom and solutions in advancing multilateralism and working together to build a closer Asia-Pacific Community, to which Hong Kong has also made its distinctive contributions.

By successfully hosting this conference, Hong Kong has gained not only the benefits of "mega events economy", but also opportunities to showcase itself on a top-tier international platform and multiple opportunities for development. Firstly, hosting the Finance Ministers' Meeting highlights Hong Kong's status as an international financial center and its unique advantages under "One Country, Two Systems" enabling it to connect with both domestic and international markets. It is precisely this institutional advantage, through constant communication between East and West and linking domestic and international connections, that gives Hong Kong the wherewithal to host such a high-profile international event. Secondly, the conference expanded Hong Kong's international economic and trade network. With representatives from various Asia-Pacific economies coming in person to attend the meeting, Hong Kong's doors are open even wider for exchange and cooperation. Thirdly, this grand event was also a perfect demonstrati　　on of the integration and synergy of the Greater Bay Area, further highlighting Hong Kong's role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder." In addition to the main conference, the SAR Government also meticulously arranged abundant off-site cultural visits, allowing approximately 500 foreign guests to immerse themselves in Hong Kong's safety, efficiency and vibrant energy, showcasing Hong Kong's charm through firsthand experiences.

The successful hosting of this grand event has also given Hong Kong a lot of food for thought. "The security of Hong Kong is premised on the security of our Motherland",　　and stability is the absolute cornerstone of prosperity and development. Compared to the regret of narrowly missing out on [hosting] the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting 12 years ago due to social unrest, it is precisely because Hong Kong has safeguarded national security and maintained social stability that it enjoys the continuous success of such events today. The consensuses reached and core themes at this meeting also provide guidance for Hong Kong's high-quality development.

"One Country, Two Systems" is Hong Kong's greatest advantage, a favorable condition no other city possesses. This grand event has once again showcased Hong Kong's unparalleled strengths and charm to the world. The successful hosting of the conference is just the beginning. The next step should be to turn the Asia-Pacific consensuses reached at the conference, such as on digital infrastructure financing and inclusive finance, into long-term multilateral cooperation projects and market-ready financial products.

英译知多啲

不论是中文或英文，词语的搭配都有一些约定俗成的“惯用法”（usage），必须多加留意才能掌握。

不久前在香港举行的APEC财长会英文是the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting，其中“财政部长”是Finance Minister，而不是Financial Minister。一般来说，XX部长中的前面的XX必须用名词而非形容词，如Education Minister（教育部长），Health Minister（卫生部长）或Science and Technology Minister（科技部长），如果前面使用形容词说成Educational Minister或 Healthy Minister，就不符合惯用法。

不过，香港特区的“财政司长”是Financial Secretary ，前面用的是形容词，如果是用名词说成Finance Secretary反而是错误的。“保安局局长”是Secretary for Security不能说成Security Secretary.

当然，XX部长的英文表述也可以是Minister of XX（名词），如Minister of Finance， Minister of Defense等。但要留意的是，一些国家如新加坡或澳洲，通常用for来代替of，说成Minister for Finance，Minister for Defense。
