Invest Hong Kong today took part in a seminar at the 18th China International Fair for Investment & Trade in Xiamen to encourage Mainland enterprises to build their brands and access global markets through Hong Kong.
Entitled "Hong Kong - Your Platform to Go Global", the seminar began with remarks from Under Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Godfrey Leung, Deputy Director-General of the Economic Affairs Department and Head of the Commerce Office of the CPGLO Yang Yi, and Deputy Director General of the Department of Outward Investment & Economic Co-operation Fang Wei.
Mr Leung said Hong Kong is business-friendly with free flows of capital and information, free trade and a free market economy, a deep pool of international talent, world-class infrastructure, and a sound and independent legal system, as well as a low and stable tax regime.
The city is an ideal place for Mainland companies to go global, he added.
Topics on Hong Kong's taxation regime and how the city's financial services sector can help Mainland enterprises, particularly in mergers and acquisitions, and how Mainland companies can attract and manage private equity funds through Hong Kong, were discussed as well.
This year is the 13th consecutive year that InvestHK has exhibited in the Hong Kong Pavilion of the fair, which shows a wide spectrum of Hong Kong services and how the city can assist Mainland enterprises in expanding their overseas operations.
