Hong Kong’s resilience is again in the spotlight as the city shows promising signs of recovery after years of uncertainty. In the first half of 2024, 322 companies expanded or set up operations in Hong Kong, a 43 percent year-on-year increase, while foreign direct investment reached US $4.9 billion, driven by Chinese and US firms. With nearly 42,000 new licensed financial professionals and more than 90 mega-events slated for 2025, the city is again positioning itself as a competitive global hub. Yet challenges remain as Hong Kong plots a complex forward path. In this session panelists will examine whether the numbers reflect a true resurgence, how Hong Kong’s core strengths are being optimized, and what global shifts could divert its trajectory.
