HK 2nd in attracting investment

June 22, 2016

Hong Kong retained second place in global foreign direct investment inflows last year in the United Nations Conference on Trade & Development's World Investment Report.

 

Hong Kong received US$175 billion in investments last year, a year-on-year increase of 53.5%, placing it second only to the US (US$380 billion) and ahead of the Mainland (US$136 billion).

 

Globally, foreign direct investment also reached its highest level since 2008, jumping 38% to US$1.762 trillion last year.

 

Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion Francis Ho welcomed the report, saying Hong Kong continues to be an important business city among foreign and Mainland companies despite ongoing global uncertainties.

 

"We will continue to strive to assist foreign and Mainland companies who plan to set up presence in our city," he said.
