Dec 2015 – Is Hong Kong International, Transparent and Efficient?

InvestHK calls our city “International, Transparent and Efficient” when explaining why “Hong Kong is the ideal place to do business in Asia.” In this issue of Varsity, we talk to professionals and InvestHK to see if that is still true.

Critics say an influx of Mainland capital and business practices have made our economy more “Mainlandised.” Does that threaten Hong Kong’s status as an international finance centre?

The government has opted for one-way communication and limited public consultation, so is it still transparent?

Hong Kong’s transport system has failed to keep pace with increasing demand, and is it any less efficient?
