Hong Kong recognised as one of top places to do business
Hong Kong is among the top 10 performers of 50 economies covered in the first
Business Ready 2024 Report published by the World Bank Group (WBG) on Oct 4. In
a statement, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government noted that
the WBG Report has given recognition to Hong Kong as an international trading
centre with simple and clear regulations in business entry as well as stable and
efficient utility infrastructure. The report, which is pilot in nature, compares
the overall performance of economies in terms of their business environment
under 10 topics and three pillars. For Hong Kong, the three topics with the
highest score are: "International Trade" (90.77 points), "Business Entry" (85.49
points) and "Utility Services" (77.71 points). Among the three pillars, it ranks
fifth in "Operational Efficiency" with a score of 78.52 points. The Government
said the report highlights that Hong Kong has few restrictions on international
trade in services and implements good practices in terms of information
provision and regulations relating to company registration. It fully illustrates
Hong Kong's role as a super-connector and a super value-adder, and as a two-way
door in attracting overseas enterprises and assisting Mainland enterprises to
“go global”, it added.
