"The July 1st march won't affect foreign investment. The march took place, it was peaceful, people were out to make a point. What is there in that, that will damage investor confidence? I can't see anything. Politics is something that as a commercial banker, we don't get involved in. What I am concerned about is issues relating to business confidence. Nothing I have seen, nothing people have said gives me any concern from a business perspective about Hong Kong and the future of Hong Kong. I'm very comfortable with it."
