Chinese Abstract: 随着中国资本项目的进一步开放，未来可期中国成为金融大国，其中一个表现就是中国企业和居民的对外投资会呈现非常高速的增长。伴随着数十年中国经济高速增长，私人财富总额与高净值家庭数量持续快速增长，离岸投资和财富管理需求日益强劲。同时，在中国大陆，金融抑制还依然严重，资产配置及投资需求难以得到满足，到境外寻找保值和增值的“替代性”投资具有其微观理性。从宏观的角度讲，有序地放开个人境外投资有利于治理流动性泛滥、缓解资产泡沫、通货膨胀和人民币被升值、推进资本项目开放。从战略上看，中国是一个官方债权大国，风险大而集中，应积极向“私人债权大国”转型，而“藏汇于民”并鼓励其对外投资是金融开放和战略转型的必由之路，将助推中国成为金融大国。个人境外投资的路径应该遵循有中国特色的资本账户渐进开放道路，在“主动、可控、渐进”的原则下，香港是中国大陆个人海外投资的首选之地。通过香港的优势、劣势、机会和挑战（SWOT）分析，笔者提出两个顶层设计。一是香港应该引领中国资本“走出去”的潮流，抓住中国金融业“十二五”规划提出将香港建设成国际资产管理中心和人民币离岸中心的机遇，选择金融这一支柱产业升级转型现有的购物天堂，以金融产品为导向、以财富管理和金融服务为核心，积极打造成一个 “金融购物天堂”。二是香港应该积极推动人民币国际化，力争离岸人民币和国际资产价格的定价权，与纽约、伦敦等世界级金融中心相媲美、相竞争，成为未来全球可能出现的美元、欧元、人民币等多元储备货币体系中的“东方之珠”。

English Abstract: China will become a global financial power as its capital account liberalization accelerates. In particular, gross flows out of China and outward investment would be substantial for several reasons. First, China's total amount of private wealth and the number of high-net-worth families have been growing steadily with the rapid economic growth for decades. The demand for offshore investment and wealth management are increasingly strong. Second, investors' demand for asset allocation and investment is hardly met given the significant financial repression in China. Thus, individual investors have strong incentive to seek for oversea investment opportunities. From a macro perspective, an orderly liberalization of outward investment for individuals can ease the excess liquidity, asset bubbles, inflation and the appreciation of RMB. From the strategic point of view, China is a big creditor with most of the foreign exchange reserves held in official institutions. Such public debt financing is risky and concentrated and thus should be transformed into private debt financing. The key is to allow individuals to hold more foreign exchange reserves and encourage them to invest oversea, which would lead China to become a global financial power.Following capital account liberalization with Chinese characteristics, which is a proactive, controllable and gradualist path, Hong Kong is a preferred destination of Chinese individual outward investment. Based on SWOT analysis of Hong Kong, I propose the following top-down designs. Hong Kong should lead the trend of Chinese capital outflow and seize the opportunity outlined in the China's ‘twelfth five-year plan', which aims to build Hong Kong as an international asset management center and offshore RMB center, to further upgrade the existing financial service industry into a ‘financial shopping paradise'. Meanwhile, Hong Kong should actively promote the internationalization of RMB, and gain the pricing power of offshore RMB and international asset, to run parallel to and compete with world-class international financial centers, such as New York and London, and become a ‘Pearl of the Orient' in the future international monetary system with multiple reserve currencies of US dollar, Euro and RMB
