LONDON, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in London on Tuesday for his second state visit as president, aiming to seal new trade and security deals despite ongoing protests.

According to Buckingham Palace, King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. On Thursday, Trump and Starmer plan to hold a bilateral meeting at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.

Around 100 residents of Windsor and other parts of the UK, organized by the Stop Trump coalition, gathered in the streets outside Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening, chanting slogans against the visit and waving signs reading "Stop Hate. Stop Trump" and "Hate Has Never Made a Nation Great." Organizers said they plan to hold a larger demonstration in central London on Wednesday.

Ahead of the visit, the British government announced more than £1.25 billion (US$1.7 billion) in US private investment in financial services and unveiled plans to sign a new nuclear energy deal during Trump's stay.

Talks between the two sides are expected to cover artificial intelligence, semiconductors, telecommunications and quantum computing, local media reported.

The visit came two months after Trump's private trip to Scotland, during which he met with K. Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a trip that also sparked mass demonstrations.

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Li Jiachao said Wednesday that Hong Kong will use a special channel targeting technology enterprises to help sci-tech enterprises in the Chinese mainland attract funding in Hong Kong, thus increasing financial support for building China into a sci-tech powerhouse.

Delivering his fourth policy implementation report, Li Jiachao emphasized the Hong Kong administration's commitment to encouraging more overseas enterprises to pursue secondary listings in Hong Kong, facilitating Chinese companies' return from overseas stock markets, and making Hong Kong their preferred choice upon return.

The Hong Kong stock market maintains strong momentum, said Li Jiachao. According to him, by the end of August this year, the total amount of funds raised through IPOs (initial public offerings) exceeded 130 billion Hong Kong dollars (approximately 16.71 billion US dollars), which is almost six times more than the same period last year, making Hong Kong the world's largest fundraiser through IPOs. -0-

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Lee Jiachao announced plans to accelerate the development of new growth areas to strengthen Hong Kong's status as an international financial hub, including the establishment of an international gold trading market.

Delivering his fourth policy speech on Wednesday, Li Jiachao said the HKSAR will support the Hong Kong Airport Authority and financial institutions in expanding gold storage capacity in the HKSAR, with a planned gold storage capacity of over 2,000 tonnes within three years, turning Hong Kong into a regional gold reserve hub.

Li Jiachao stressed the need to encourage gold traders to establish or expand refineries in Hong Kong, and to explore, together with the Chinese mainland, the possibility of processing supplied raw materials on the Chinese mainland, refining the gold, and then exporting it to Hong Kong for trade and shipping purposes.

He also announced plans to establish a central clearing system for gold in Hong Kong to provide efficient and reliable clearing services for gold transactions in line with international standards, and to invite the Shanghai Gold Exchange to participate in preparation for mutual market access with the Chinese mainland in the future.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Chief Executive also outlined plans to offer a wider range of gold investment instruments, assisting issuers in issuing gold funds, and supporting the development of new investment products, such as tokenized gold. He also pledged to support the establishment of a gold industry association to establish an exchange platform with the HKSAR government and regulatory authorities, strengthen promotion and attract clients from countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, and enhance personnel training.

Li Jiachao noted that the Shanghai Gold Exchange's international gold investor platform opened its first offshore warehouse in Hong Kong and launched new supply contracts to the SAR, adding that the SAR will continue to promote cooperation between the gold markets of Hong Kong and Shanghai. -0-

Financial News: Amur Region Begins Placing Public Bonds on Finuslugi

On September 23, 2025, the Amur Region's one billion-ruble public bond offering will begin on the Finuslugi marketplace. This is the first of four public bond offerings planned for the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and the Arctic by the end of this year.

The funds raised will be used to implement projects significant to the region, such as the renovation of healthcare facilities, the creation of a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, and the construction and modernization of housing and public utilities.

The bonds will have a two-year maturity. The par value of each bond is 1,000 rubles. The coupon is fixed at 15.79% per annum throughout the bonds' maturity, and is paid quarterly.

Investors will be able to tender bonds for redemption beginning January 19, 2026. The execution of a sell order will take up to four business days from the time of submission. Accrued coupon income will be calculated until the order is executed.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"We are pleased to welcome the Amur Region's public bonds to the marketplace and are proud to offer the market a tool that allows Russians to not only increase their capital but also provide social support by investing in the development of our country's regions. We see a steady increase in the popularity of public bonds, which have already proven themselves to be a simple and effective instrument, so Finuslugi will continue to expand their product line in line with growing demand."

Tatyana Mitrofanova, Minister of Finance of the Amur Region:

"Last year, the Amur Region issued its first exchange-traded bonds worth 2 billion rubles. And despite the fact that only qualified investors were able to purchase them, demand exceeded supply by 2.5 times. The intense interest in the region's investment instruments prompted the Amur Region to take the next step. The issuance of public bonds was a step toward those who want to preserve and grow their wealth for the benefit of their home region. This issue is not simply a sum of money earmarked for "something important," but a partnership between the region and its residents."

An agreement providing for the issuance of national bonds by subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic was signed between Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF 2025). In addition to the Amur Region, the Magadan Region, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the city of Yakutsk are also considering issuing national bonds on Finuslugi in 2025.

People's bonds became available for purchase on Finuslugi in 2021. Only individuals can purchase them—they are not traded on the stock exchange and have no secondary market. A brokerage account is not required to purchase people's bonds on Finuslugi: all transactions are conducted directly between the individual and the issuer. Simply register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile app using the Gosuslugi service.

Finuslugi is a marketplace for money created by the Moscow Exchange. On Finuslugi, you can select and open bank deposits online 24/7, take out cash loans, purchase mutual fund units, public bonds from companies and Russian regions, as well as compulsory motor insurance (OSAGO), comprehensive motor insurance (CASCO), mortgage insurance, property insurance, and other products. You can top up your deposits and accounts on Finuslugi free of charge using the Faster Payment System (FPS). The service can be used regardless of region, anywhere in Russia and worldwide.
