Japan's Ministry of Finance said corporate ordinary profit rose 14.6% YoY in Jan-Mar.

Hong Kong financial secretary Paul Chan cited a recent 2026 global wealth report estimating the city’s cross‑border wealth management assets rose 10.7% YoY to about HKD 23 trillion last year, overtaking Switzerland as the world’s largest cross‑border wealth centre. The report projects Hong Kong‑managed cross‑border wealth will expand roughly 9% p.a. through 2030. CSRC’s annual Asset and Wealth Management Activity Survey shows total asset and wealth management business in Hong Kong exceeds HKD 35 trillion, with 54% of assets sourced from mainland China and other non‑Hong Kong investors. Chan said AUM doubled and the number of asset managers nearly doubled between 2015 and 2024.
