Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary, Paul Chan Mo-po, stated in an interview that the city is nearing the completion of negotiations with several major international and national companies. These firms, which operate in strategic and emerging sectors, are expected to receive customized policy support packages to encourage them to set up regional headquarters or operations in Hong Kong.

This initiative is part of a government-led effort to bolster the city’s economy by attracting high-profile businesses. While specific names of the companies were not disclosed, Chan indicated that the deals are expected to be finalized within the next few months. The government’s strategy involves offering preferential treatment to these enterprises, which officials believe will help diversify the city’s industrial base and strengthen its position as a global business hub. The move follows a period of economic uncertainty and a push by the administration to revitalize the city’s appeal to foreign and mainland Chinese investors alike.
