Hong Kong as an International Financial Centre

As one of the leading international financial centres, Hong Kong is a prime location for financial services and home to many financial institutions. Hong Kong’s financial markets operate under effective and transparent regulations that are in line with international standards.

Located at the heart of Asia, Hong Kong also thrives on close financial integration with Mainland China, extensive networks with the rest of the world, sound legal system, simple and competitive tax regime, free flow of capital, a full range of financial products, and a large pool of financial talents. The financial sector had a workforce of over 269,100, or 7.3% of working population in Hong Kong in 2023, and directly contributed 24.9% to Hong Kong’s GDP in 2023.
