A record of Chinese mainland companies set up in Hong Kong
Online Edition
INVEST Hong Kong, a government-backed investment promotion bureau, helped a record number of Chinese mainland investors to set up companies in Hong Kong last year despite of some tensions, Simon Galpin, director general of the bureau, said today in Shanghai.
"Altogether 75 companies from the mainland established their branches in Hong Kong with our help...it is the number one source among the 355 companies set up in Hong Kong last year, which created another record," said Galpin during a seminar that encourages local companies to access overseas markets through the special administrative region.
Last year, tensions including some protests against mainland shoppers in Hong Kong malls have discouraged visitors from the mainland.
"Business of companies located around the Central district was affected, but there was no investment withdrawal," Galpin said, adding that the positive momentum has continued this year and Hong Kong is likely to produce a new record.
"Foreign companies choose Hong Kong because it is a mature market that offers many opportunities," Galpin said. "While mainland companies increasingly takes Hong Kong a springboard to get connected with the global market."
Besides, Hong Kong Exchange is a popular choice for mainland companies to get listed. By the end of last year, 642 companies from the mainland have floated their shares in Hong Kong, among which 97 were from Shanghai.
A business-friendly environment, free flows of capital and information, free trade and a free market economy, a deep pool of international professionals plus good infrastructure and sound legal system make Hong Kong a good candidate to help companies go global, Galpin said.
