Hong Kong is considered one of the world's leading financial centres and is home to a diverse population of 7.4 million residents. In addition to finance and insurance, the city is a major centre for trade and logistics, tourism and professional services.
The city continues to perform well in Investor Attractiveness, benefiting from a unique administrative structure and its strategic location as a gateway to China. Its longstanding position as a global financial powerhouse has resulted in a strong brand identity and attracted many expatriates from across the globe resulting in a diverse and vibrant city.
Urban residents continue to have good access to mobility, good safety and general good quality of life. However Hong Kong falls short in a few aspects of liveability that young people of today value highly. The topmost concern is the cost of living and rent in cities which is driving decision-making for young talent across the globe. Other emerging factors are work intensity and inclusivity, which are areas the city can look to improve in as well.
