(Bloomberg) -- China’s top financial envoy in Hong Kong is set to leave after just over a year in the role, concluding a tenure closely watched by the sector, according to people familiar with the matter. Qi Bin, 57, sent farewell messages to close contacts in Hong Kong’s financial circle about his imminent redeployment, according to the people who asked not to be identified because the information is private. He is expected to become a deputy director of an economic committee under the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the country’s leading political advisory organization, according to a South China Morning Post report citing unidentified people.
