At the 8th FiNETech event, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) unveiled the White Paper on Quantum Readiness for Hong Kong's Banking Sector, introducing, for the first time, the Quantum Readiness Index and a suite of support measures for the industry. Drawing on a survey carried out in early 2026, the White Paper reveals a growing awareness of quantum technology within the banking sector. The inaugural Quantum Readiness Index stands at 2.3 out of 10, indicating that the banking sector is still in the nascent stages of embracing quantum technology. The HKMA has outlined a strategic plan to help the banking sector reach full quantum readiness by 2030, targeting an index score of 10. This will be achieved through the provision of practical guidance, skills development programs, and fostering industry-wide knowledge exchange.
