Premier Financial Hub in Asia
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (Hong Kong SAR) is Asia’s premier financial hub. The vibrant city has consistently been voted as the world’s most competitive economy and one of the easiest places to do business. It has a free and fair business environment, with world-class infrastructure, that reaches the highest international standards.
Government Support and Fewer Regulations
Hong Kong SAR operates a free enterprise and free trade economic system. This is demonstrated by minimal duties and tariffs placed on imported goods. Profits and dividends derived from a business in Hong Kong SAR can be freely converted and remitted while companies and individuals may import or export capital at their own discretion. There is no Hong Kong SAR taxation on dividends and there are no exchange controls or foreign currency regulations, except those that relate to suspected terrorism financing and money laundering.
Gateway to Mainland China
Hong Kong SAR’s economy enjoys the benefits of unrivalled access to Mainland China, including free movement of capital, talent, goods and information - and no foreign ownership restrictions. The city is also ideally positioned to benefit from the various initiatives set to link Mainland China with countries across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. All of Asia’s key markets are less than 4 hours away.
Ease of Communication
Both Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong SAR. English is widely spoken and is the preferred language for business and contracts, enabling employer’s access to the city's diverse pool of talent.
