Hong Kong’s future lies in helping Chinese firms go global, official investment adviser says
InvestHK associate director general Charles Ng says being the stepping stone to overseas key to city’s development
Hong Kong’s economic future increasingly lies in being the springboard propelling mainland Chinese companies into the global arena, the associate director general of the government’s investment promotion body has said.
Ng, associate director general of InvestHK, envisaged that mainland companies would in turn increasingly move to capitalise on Hong Kong’s advantages as an international financial, capital-raising and service centre to expand their horizons and tap overseas markets.
The organisation is the government’s investment promotion agency responsible for helping firms set up operations in the city.
“This will be an inevitable trend with mainland firms going hi-tech and aggressive. They want to conquer new markets,” he said.
