Speaking after a Commercial Radio programme on Sunday, Lau said the number of foreign companies moving to Hong Kong had been on the rise in recent years and that tariffs were now also a factor. 'The companies told me that, although in the short term these uncertainties are not very good for doing business, they are looking for a platform where the whole region is growing,' she said. This month Invest Hong Kong announced that it had helped over 1,300 overseas and mainland companies expand their business here, bringing foreign direct investment of more than HK$160 billion and exceeding the performance indicators set out in the 2022 Policy Address.

Unknown poem by 'titanic figure' found in a box of junk
Inside they discovered a handwritten draft of Address to the Town-Council of Edinburgh, which is now expected to fetch £800-1,200 at the GWA Summer Two Day Fine Art & Antiques Auction on June 13 and 14. It runs only to the fourteenth line of the poem, with the other pages presumed lost. Read More: Ramsay transformed the role of the Scots language in Scottish Literature, introduced the term 'Doric', founded or co-founded the first subscription library in the British Isles, the first art school in Scotland and one of the country's first theatres, and was one of the first Romantic song collectors, as well as a key player in the Enlightenment. The first ever comprehensive scholarly edition of Ramsay's works, the six-volume Edinburgh Edition, published 2022-24, stated that there was no manuscript copy of the Address known to exist. Valuer Tommy Alexander said: "Prior to now, no manuscript copy of Allan Ramsay's Address to the Town-Council of Edinburgh was known to exist. A man holding up the poem by Allan Ramsay (Image: Supplied) "This significant literary historical discovery sheds new light on his compositional process, as in the seventh line of the poem we can see Ramsay revising his original word choice (unrecorded prior to now). Ramsay penned the Address as an appeal to the City Council, that they legislate against the pirating of his works. "This they duly did, decreeing that vendors of Ramsay's verse were to retain only one third of their profits, with the majority share payable to Ramsay. Of interest here is the format in which Ramsay presents his poem, that of a letter literally addressed to named members of the Council. It may be the case that it was the receipt of this very document that prompted their intervention. "Allan Ramsay was a titanic figure in the early Scottish Enlightenment. As a poet and playwright, as well as a collector of verse, he did much to crystalise the Scottish literary tradition. His influence can be strongly felt through the work of subsequent writers, among them Burns, Fergusson and Scott. "The manuscript was found in complete obscurity, bundled together with miscellaneous ephemera and unframed artworks, consigned from a local house clearance." Also up for auction at the two-day event is the painting Crucifiction by renowned Australian artist Roy De Maistre. The signed oil on canvas work once hung in Iona Abbey, having been bought by the community directly from the artist, and is expected to fetch over £10,000. Other items include a Chinese silk robe bought for a few pounds on Vinted, and a painting about Saint Mungo.

Explore Dubai's Hottest Pre-Launch Real Estate Projects for 2025
Dubai's real estate market continues to thrive in 2025, offering property investors and homebuyers some of the most compelling opportunities through off-plan and pre-launch projects . Whether you're looking for high ROI, luxurious living, or affordable entry into the property market, buying off-plan property in Dubai has proven to be one of the most strategic decisions. Here's a comprehensive guide to the benefits of buying off-plan properties, along with an overview of the top pre-launch projects in Dubai worth considering. Why Buy Off-Plan Property in Dubai? Off-plan properties are developments that are sold before they are completed. Buyers secure a unit based on the developer's plans, renderings, and payment structure, often well before construction is completed. Key Benefits: Lower Prices and Flexible Payment Plans Off-plan prices are typically lower than ready properties, and developers offer generous installment-based payment plans, often with 0% interest during the construction phase. High Capital Appreciation As construction progresses, property values generally increase, offering early investors substantial returns by the time the project is completed. Customization Options Buyers of off-plan units often get options for layouts, finishes, and upgrades to suit their personal style. Investment Security Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) enforces strict rules for off-plan developments, ensuring that payments go into escrow accounts and projects are delivered on time. Top Pre-Launch Projects in Dubai (2025) As Dubai continues to develop new areas and expand infrastructure, several pre-launch projects have entered the market, offering promising investment opportunities: 1.

With Mediterranean-inspired architecture, water features, and wellness amenities, this pre-launch villa project is ideal for families. Property Types: 4–6 Bedroom Townhouses and Villas Starting Price: AED 1.9M Completion: 2026 Key Feature: Lagoon views and wellness zones 3.

Danube Elitz 3 – Arjan Ideal for affordable luxury seekers, Elitz 3 by Danube offers a wide range of smartly designed studios and apartments. With a post-handover payment plan and modern amenities, it's perfect for first-time buyers. Starting Price: AED 550,000 Flexible 1% monthly payment plan Handover: 2027 Facilities: Gym, kids' play area, swimming pool Tips for Buying Off-Plan Property in Dubai Research the Developer's Track Record Always choose reputed developers known for delivering projects on time with high construction quality. Understand the Payment Plan Match the payment structure with your financial capability to avoid delays or penalties. Visit the Sales Center or Show Apartment Get a feel for the quality and layout of your future property by visiting model units or virtual tours. Verify Project Approval and Escrow Registration Ensure the project is approved by RERA and that payments are going into a regulated escrow account. Final Thoughts Buying off-plan property in Dubai in 2025 is a golden opportunity, particularly with the city's ambitious growth aligned with its 2040 Urban Master Plan. With property values consistently appreciating and a wide variety of pre-launch projects catering to different budgets and lifestyles, there has never been a better time to invest. From ultra-luxury beachfront residences to affordable smart homes, Dubai offers something for every investor. Secure your spot early in a high-potential development and enjoy long-term gains with minimal risk, thanks to Dubai's strong regulatory framework. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
