財庫局下周就規管眾籌諮詢三個月 「舉例」指612涉危國安
Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui today published an article titled “Keeping Pace with the Times: Regulating Crowdfunding”, saying that the Government would publish a document on regulating crowdfunding next week and conduct a three-month public consultation. Hui said in the article that some groups had used crowdfunding to “support acts that endanger public safety and even national security”. He “cited” as an example that after the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund was prosecuted by police, Alliance for True Democracy Company Limited, which provided it with fund custody and receipt and payment services, subsequently ceased operations.

與時俱進 規管眾籌
We (the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau) should also guard against problems before they arise by establishing a comprehensive system so that crowdfunding activities for lawful and legitimate purposes are governed by clear rules. This will help establish best practices, protect the interests of people involved in crowdfunding activities, and more effectively prevent activities such as planning illicit funding schemes that endanger public and national security or support unlawful activities.
The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau will publish a paper next week setting out the framework and measures we propose for regulating crowdfunding activities, and will conduct a three-month public consultation. We look forward to receiving views from all sectors of the community, pooling ideas and preparing for the legislative work in the next stage.
我們(財庫局)亦應防患於未然,建立完備的制度,令合法、正當用途的眾籌活動有規可循,以助建立最佳操作守則,保障眾籌活動相關人士的利益,同時更有效防範不法資金策劃危害公眾和國家安全,或支持違法活動等行為。
財庫局將在下星期公布文件,說明我們建議規管眾籌活動的架構和措施,並會展開為期三個月的公眾諮詢。我們期待收到社會各界的意見,集思廣益,為下階段的立法工作做好準備。
