Hong Kong was re -rated again in the world's most liberal economy

According to the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" website reported on September 9, the Canadian Think Tank Fraser Research Institute published the "World Economic Freedom 2022 Annual Report", and Hong Kong continued to be rated as the world's most free economy. Since the report was released, Hong Kong has been ranked first in the world. Among the five assessment items, Hong Kong continued to ranks first in the two items of "freedom of international trade" and "supervision".

The Hong Kong government welcomes this. The spokesman pointed out that the government has been committed to optimizing the business environment and improving market efficiency and supporting facilities, so that the economy has better flexibility and toughness. Efforts will be affirmed again.

The government said that the Hong Kong National Security Law has been implemented for more than two years, and many data indicate that after the social resumption of stability, investors' confidence has been further consolidated. For example, the total value of Hong Kong's assets and wealth management business reached 35.5 trillion Hong Kong dollars at the end of last year (1 Hong Kong dollar is about 0.88 yuan), an increase of more than 20 % over the end of 2019. In the latest issue of the Global Financial Center Index announced in March this year, Hong Kong's status and strength as the world's leading financial center was once again affirmed, and the total ranking maintained Asia's first and third place in the world.
