For Immediate Release
Agnes Chan, Senior Advisor, Chairman's Office, Greater China, Ernst & Young, and former Managing Partner of EY Hong Kong & Macao, has been re-elected Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) for the coming year.
“I am truly honoured to serve HKGCC for another 12 months and thank members for their continued support and trust. After a very challenging year amid a complex global landscape characterized by geopolitical tensions and economic difficulties, Hong Kong has once again shown its resilience and adaptability. In the coming months, the Chamber will work closely with members, the business community, and the Government to drive economic growth and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a global finance and business hub,” she said.
Chan, who last week joined the Chief Executive’s mission to Qatar and Kuwait, emphasized the importance of businesses expanding their global networks and exploring new markets to tap into more opportunities.
