Hong Kong leaders say city is good place to seek stability, capitalise on China growth
InvestHK director general Alpha Lau says Hong Kong’s ‘opportunities are rebounding’
Speaking at the South China Morning Post’s China Conference on Tuesday, Lau said that since the Covid-19 pandemic, Hong Kong’s investment flows have not returned to previous levels due to global trade and tariff challenges. InvestHK is a government agency tasked with promoting the city overseas.
“Despite all that, the opportunities are rebounding because companies need stability,” she said.
She said the city was both an ideal place to “shift some of your concentration risk away from less certain regions” and a bridge to the mainland.
“This is a two-way flow, and we’re placing far more emphasis on it,” she said.
“Hong Kong is the ‘superconnector’ and ‘super value-adder’ that links the world with opportunities from China’s growth certainties,” he said in a keynote speech. “A link you can always bank on.”
