Budget Speech

Headquarters Economy

75.      The business environment of Hong Kong attracts enterprises from all around the world to set up regional headquarters and offices here, bringing in capital and creating abundant high-value-added job opportunities. They introduce new management culture, promote transfer of technology and enhance local creativity.

76.      At present, more than 6 500 enterprises from overseas, the Mainland and Taiwan have established their presence in Hong Kong. Together, they employ some 350 000 people. We will step up promotion efforts and take the initiative in approaching overseas enterprises, particularly those in the industries where Hong Kong enjoys clear advantages, to encourage them to set up business here. We will also provide aftercare services and support to foreign companies already established in Hong Kong.
