The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Paul Chan, stated on the 12th that openness, cooperation, mutual learning, and win-win outcomes have contributed to the prosperity and stable development of the global economy over the past few decades. The SAR government will continue to strengthen its deep ties with traditional markets, while exploring more emerging markets and expanding its circle of friends to achieve better development together. On the same day, Chan Mo po posted a blog and cited the "2025 World Investment Report" published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which pointed out that Hong Kong's inflow of foreign direct investment reached 126 billion US dollars last year, rising to the third place in the world. Last year, nearly 10000 Hong Kong companies had parent companies from overseas and mainland China, reaching a historic high. Among them, the parent company has nearly 1400 Hong Kong companies in the United States, an increase of 9% year-on-year. He stated that the SAR government recently announced the fifth batch of key enterprises to settle in, with nearly 40% of them being overseas enterprises, including three of the world's top ten pharmaceutical companies and leaders in fields such as artificial intelligence. These enterprises choose to settle or expand their business in Hong Kong precisely because they see that they can find the necessary funds, excellent talents, thriving innovation and manufacturing ecosystems, and rapidly scalable markets within the region. The advantages of Hong Kong's' internal and external connections', high degree of internationalization, and convergence of international funds, institutions, and talents are more prominent in the current situation. ”Chen Maobo emphasized that even though the international situation changes, Hong Kong will continue to maintain its status as a free port under the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, maintain a simple and low tax system, implement an open, stable, and predictable economic and trade policy, and continue to welcome foreign investment, business development, and shared opportunities.
