Tradelink Contributes Expertise to HKMA's Project Cargox Recommendation Report, Advancing Digital Trade Finance for SMEs

19 Jan 2026

(Hong Kong, January 19, 2026) — Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited (“Tradelink”) is honoured to participate in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (HKMA) Project Cargox Expert Panel and contribute its expertise to its Recommendation Report, which has now been successfully published. As a trusted service provider in Hong Kong’s digital trade ecosystem, we are grateful for the opportunity to support this important initiative, helping to enhance SMEs’ trade finance accessibility through streamlined processes and international data connectivity.

Project Cargox, initiated by the HKMA, explores how commercial trade and cargo logistics data can be connected through the Commercial Data Interchange (CDI) to strengthen transparency, efficiency, and risk management in trade finance. Tradelink expanded CDI’s coverage by connecting both current and historical trade and logistics data for onshore and offshore shipments, including flows across the Greater Bay Area and ASEAN. Through a single connection, banks and financial institutions can now access real-time and historical granular data, reducing cost while improving SMEs’ access to financing.

Mr. YUEN Man Chung, Tommy, S.B.S, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tradelink, remarked: “Digital trade finance will only scale when banks have full confidence in the data behind each transaction. Through CDI, Tradelink connects real-time and historical cargo records, turning fragmented information into trustworthy, actionable intelligence. This empowers banks to extend more reliable financing to SMEs and further strengthens Hong Kong’s competitiveness in global trade. We warmly congratulate the HKMA on successfully publishing the Project Cargox Recommendation Report, and we are proud to have played a part in reaching this milestone.”

Building on the progress of Project Cargox, Tradelink will continue working closely with regulators, banks, and industry partners to expand data connectivity and strengthen trust across the trade ecosystem. This ongoing collaboration reinforces our commitment to empowering SMEs and solidifying Hong Kong’s position as a leading global trade hub.

The Cargox Year-End Forum, held in December 2025, convened 24 expert panel members both in person and virtually to finalise the Recommendation Report
