Hong Kong draws HK$26 billion from over 310 firms this year, InvestHK head says

InvestHK, the government agency responsible for attracting foreign investment, reported that over 310 companies from mainland China and abroad have established or expanded operations in Hong Kong by early May. These companies have collectively injected more than HK$26 billion (US$3.3 billion) in capital during their first year of operation. InvestHK director general Alpha Lau Hai-suen highlighted this influx of investment, suggesting it reflects a positive outlook on stabilizing Sino-US relations following the Xi-Trump summit. Lau emphasized Hong Kong's need to adapt proactively to the evolving international landscape and capitalize on emerging opportunities. He also noted market expectations for a period of stable Sino-US relations, potentially preceding Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States in September.
