He stated that the city’s wealth of intellectual resources, alongside a solid legal infrastructure, offers a seamless environment for financial operations.

A Legal and Financial Fortress

"Just take a look at the numerous banks operating here," Harilela pointed out. "Hong Kong is home to a judiciary that operates independently from government policies, which means fluidity in financial transactions. There truly is no other place like it!"

Efficient and Multilingual Professionals

A Strategy for Future Growth

Harilela made it clear that a strategic approach is vital for attracting investments and talent, positioning Hong Kong as a leading family office destination for years to come.

Hong Kong: The Super Connector

The vibrant investment landscape in Hong Kong also positions it as a crucial "super connector" for business ventures. Harilela is actively collaborating with government officials and the private sector to innovate in areas such as space technology and investment opportunities, optimizing Hong Kong’s role as a conduit for financial transactions, both into and out of China.

Looking Towards the Future

Harilela confidently expressed the potential of Hong Kong in boosting GDP through diverse sectors. He noted that integrating advancements in AI and robotics can significantly enhance the region’s growth prospects.

"While we often look towards mainland China for outsourcing opportunities, it's essential to also consider the rapidly growing markets in Malaysia and Indonesia—places with phenomenal potential for investment. Hong Kong stands as an irreplaceable connector in the region, fostering relationships and economic growth like no other!"
