Firms in Hong Kong are growing in popularity among countries in the Middle East, according to the head of the Belt and Road Office in the SAR.
Nicholas Ho, Commissioner for Belt and Road, told RTHK's "Government and You" programme that the region is becoming more familiar with the city's advantages, and is a suitable market for the Hong Kong businesses to enter.
"Many different enterprises in Hong Kong, including those in professional services or technology, are very popular in the Middle East," Ho said.
"There is a need for international partners that understand international standards with technology and professional services to help (companies there)."
Governments and enterprises in the Middle East are becoming increasingly clear on Hong Kong's role, advantages and functions, Ho added.

Hong Kong thrives under NSL, future is bright: CE
Hong Kong thrives under NSL, future is bright: CE John Lee says the implementation of the National Security Law came at a critical time for Hong Kong. Photo: RTHK Chief Executive John Lee on Monday said the implementation of the National Security Law (NSL) has brought about social stability and protected people's lives. He added that the SAR remains the world's freest economy, and its future is bright. In comments published in multiple newspapers marking the fifth anniversary of the enactment of the security law, Lee noted that Hong Kong is third in global financial centre and competitiveness rankings, and it's projected to become the world's largest wealth management centre within a few years. He said the enactment of the NSL came at a critical time for Hong Kong, when anti-China and external forces continuously challenged the bottom line of One Country, Two Systems. The CE thanked the central government for acting decisively at a critical moment to address the shortcomings and loopholes in the city's legal system. He also pointed out that the SAR last year fulfilled the constitutional duty of enacting the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (SNSO) in line with Article 23 of the Basic Law. Separately, a government spokesperson noted that the implementation of the NSL was a watershed moment in Hong Kong's transition from chaos to order and represents an important milestone in the undertaking of One Country, Two Systems. Looking ahead, the spokesperson said that the SAR government will strive steadfastly to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical risks.

'Digital, not paper for prospective civil servants'
'Digital, not paper for prospective civil servants' No paper applications for civil servant posts will be accepted unless otherwise specified from July 1. File photo: RTHK People applying for civil service jobs will from Tuesday have to put aside their pens and grab a keyboard or touchscreen instead, as paper applications will no longer be accepted except in specified cases. Civil service chief Ingrid Yeung said in a social media post that the change is part of the government's digitisation drive and will enhance efficiency in the recruitment process. She said details on how to apply for specific jobs will be provided in recruitment advertisements, and applicants should submit their applications accordingly. Yeung said her bureau has been adopting various measures to improve efficiency. This includes replacing the paper-based Basic Law and National Security Law Test with an online version, with results and certificates issued on the same day as the examination as opposed to the previous month-long wait, she noted. 'These are just some examples of how the government embraces and utilises technology,' Yeung wrote. 'One thing in common is the better use of existing resources and manpower to improve recruitment efficiency so it's more convenient for jobseekers.'

'Govt's digital assets policy to build public trust'
'Govt's digital assets policy to build public trust' Christopher Hui said digital assets are an inevitable trend and that Hong Kong must prepare in advance to maintain its position as an international financial centre. File photo: RTHK Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui says an updated government policy statement on the development of digital assets is designed to engender greater trust in such products, and encourage more participation. Authorities on Thursday issued the Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets in Hong Kong, setting out the government's vision of building a safe and innovative digital asset ecosystem that brings concrete solutions to both the real economy and financial markets. Hui told a TVB programme on Sunday that the update builds upon the foundational measures established in the initial policy statement released in October 2022. "Looking at many foreign markets, sometimes there is regulation but no market, which is something we hope to avoid through our comprehensive efforts," he said. Hui said the latest policy introduces the 'Leap' framework – covering legal compliance, expanding tokenised product suites, advancing use cases and collaboration, as well as people and partnership development. He said both the public and private sector have a role to play in coming up with new products. "The government took the lead in issuing around HK$6 billion to HK$7 billion in tokenised bonds, which we will be regularising. "On the market side, we are of course hoping for a greater variety of products. For instance, we mentioned in our statement that we would waive stamp duties for transactions involving tokenised exchange-traded funds." Hui also noted that, to dovetail with the updated statement, Cyberport has launched a new funding scheme for blockchain and digital assets that offers up to HK$500,000 in subsidies for start-ups running innovative pilot projects. The minister also spoke about the implementation of a new licensing regime for stablecoins – a virtual asset – in August. Hui said stablecoins should be seen as a tool for financial development, and not a vehicle for making money. "In our daily financial market operations, transactions typically occur through various intermediaries or institutions for payments and capital flows," he noted. "The operation of blockchain and stablecoins can significantly enhance the efficiency and the speed of these transactions, and in turn make related economic activities in the real economy more efficient. "I believe that finance exists not for its own sake but to serve the real economy." Hui added that the development of digital assets is an inevitable trend and Hong Kong must be well prepared in order to maintain its position as an international financial centre.
