Hong Kong 4th on Global Financial Index

Hong Kong is 4th on the Global Financial Index in its 35th report, released by organisations from China and the UK. The Government believes this results from its “One Country, Two Systems” approach.

Hong Kong’s unique dual approach has enabled it to connect to both the mainland and the global arena. It is working hard to serve as a bridge between China and the rest of the world while maintaining its international financial market.

The city’s 2024-25 Budget introduces policy initiatives that will help boost the financial markets and enhance its government’s efficiency. One thing is clear: the city has worked hard to land itself in this prestigious fourth spot of the Global Financial Index.

More Confidence for Investors

Hong Kong’s high ranking on the Global Financial Index reflects its pivotal role as a gateway to both mainland China and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Its robust regulatory framework, recognised for transparency and fairness, provides a stable and secure environment for investment activities. This status is further bolstered by the city’s concentration of global financial institutions, providing a rich ecosystem of financial services and innovative investment options.

The city’s sophisticated infrastructure and connectivity to international markets facilitate efficient business operations and cross-border transactions. Hong Kong’s skilled workforce, educated in top-tier financial and technological disciplines, supports innovation and business growth. The region’s framework ensures a degree of economic resilience and stability, making Hong Kong a strategic, dynamic, and resilient hub for global investors.
