Asia’s Investment And Trade Hub

Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China, is a thriving free-market economy. Serving as a global hub for trade, finance and tourism, its strengths lie in top-tier infrastructure, a robust banking system and a welcoming stance towards foreign investment ensured through effective contract enforcement and rights protection.

However, vulnerabilities persist, with concerns revolving around the independence of Hong Kong’s legal system and its freedoms, its limited natural resources and the need for food and raw material imports, and the fixed exchange rate of the Hong Kong Dollar with the US Dollar, which makes Hong Kong susceptible to global economic shifts.
