A powerful combination of factors - prime location, high-speed communications, free flow of information, unrestricted capital flows and the world’s freest economy – has made Hong Kong a leading international financial and business centre.

Hong Kong was again voted ‘Best Business City in the World’ and ‘Best Business City in Northeast Asia’ in the 2010 annual readers’ poll organised by the Business Traveller Asia Pacific magazine.

The 2011 edition of the World Competitiveness Yearbook, published by the Lausanne-based International Institute for Management Development, ranked Hong Kong the world’s most competitive economy.
