The chamber's annual poll showed the overall satisfaction rate stands at 93 per cent this year, a six-point increase on last year.

But members are less certain about the city's ability to sustain growth in the long term, with the level of optimism over the next five years rated at 82 per cent.

Chamber chairman Alex Thursday said it was clear that Hong Kong was moving steadily out of the economic downturn of the past three years.

Members were evenly divided over whether the debate on constitutional reform had affected the business environment, with 49 per cent saying it had and 48 per cent believing it had not.
