The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Hong Kong's economy, and prolonged restrictions have led to an outflow of talent and businesses. As a result, there are growing concerns about the city's competitiveness and prospects.

Enhancing our role as a global business, financial and logistics hub is crucial to Hong Kong's future. What opportunities can the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau create for the economy? How can the bureau assist enterprises tap into the Mainland market and help them utilize the business opportunities provided by development in the Greater Bay Area as well as the Belt and Road Initiative?

Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau will meet with members at our "Town Hall Forum Series" on 28 February to discuss the challenges facing Hong Kong, and his bureau's efforts to strengthen the economy and business environment. Places are limited, so book early to secure your seat to hear and share your views with the Secretary in person.
