For the many financial institutions and businesses that call Hong Kong home in the Asia Pacific region, its re-opening was a long-awaited celebration. This post-lockdown period is an opportune moment to re-engage with some of Asia's largest capital markets, increasingly active and wealthy consumers, and creative and budding entrepreneurs. At the same time, the administration, just under one year into its tenure, continues to advance structural reforms and economic development through policies supporting sustainable growth and entrepreneurial innovation. What opportunities might investors and business leaders find in Hong Kong going forward? Can Hong Kong regain a top spot as a global financial hub? What level of engagement might international financial institutions expect from the current administration, and what challenges remain?
