Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui said today the market has responded very positively following the enactment of legislation introducing a company re-domiciliation regime.
Mr Hui told reporters that the Government has received a lot of inquiries from companies about the new regime and its procedures.
“So far, in terms of inquiries, we have got about 150 of them and in terms of downloads of the relevant information from our website regarding this new regime, the number is close to 10,000.
“So I think all these are something very positive in terms of how we have been drawing more companies to re-domicile to Hong Kong.”
He added that companies re-domiciling to Hong Kong will create demand for professional services and that many sectors in the city will benefit.
