Doing business with the world’s freest economy
Romanian businesspersons are encouraged to seize the opportunities offered by Hong Kong. With the occasion of a seminar held in Bucharest, the Special Representative for Hong Kong Economic Trade Affairs to the European Union, Mary Chow, presented Hong Kong’s enduring advantages as the world’s freest economy with the rule of law, stringent intellectual property regime, strong anti-corruption culture, free flow of information and low and simple taxation system.
„Foreign companies established in Hong Kong are treated on an equal footing with our own enterprises”, said Chow. HKTC office for Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary is set in Budapest and provide business matching. The local companies that are interested to participate on one of their trade-fair should know that the same institution supports the costs of travel and accommodation.
The Hong Kong economy has been hard hit by the global economic crisis since 2008, but clear signs of improvements have been observed since the second quarter of 2009.
