Hong Kong, China -- (SBWire) -- 01/26/2022 --The outlook for 2022 is considerably brighter than the previous 12 months, despite the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Risk management data from 2021 has revealed that there is cause for optimism across Hong Kong and that recovery is underway. The financial outlook, for example, has been boosted by ongoing economic resurgence throughout 2021 with an increase in real GDP and a reduced unemployment rate. Despite the tourism sector still being affected by the impact of the pandemic, other markets - such as the housing sector - are showing some green shoots. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the city has also recovered with a surge in FDI coming from reinvested earnings and intracompany loans. As a result, Hong Kong is now the third hottest global economy by FDI inflows. From its favourable tax regime, to the easy listing process, robust regulatory framework and lack of capital controls there are many reasons why Hong Kong is going to remain a key financial business hub going forward.
