Bernard Chan, Acting Secretary for Hong Kong's Commerce and Economic Development (CEDB), stated in response to a Legislative Council member's inquiry that the current-term government is dedicated to attracting talents from overseas and the Mainland. Since its establishment on October 30, 2023, the Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) has striven to provide comprehensive one-stop support to talents. In 1-4M25, over 45,000 new applications under various talent admission schemes were received, of which over 35,000 applications were approved. In terms of investment promotion, InvestHK Hong Kong (InvestHK) assisted 539 Mainland and overseas enterprises in establishing and expanding their businesses in Hong Kong, representing an increase of over 40% YoY. On a pro-rata basis, the figure well exceeded the performance indicator as set out in the 2022 Policy Address by the Chief Executive. On the other hand, the number of companies in Hong Kong with overseas or Mainland parent companies in 2024 reached a record high of 9,960. It included 1,410 regional headquarters, an increase of over 5% YoY. AAStocks Financial Newsa |
