Hong Kong: The Gateway for Chinese Outbound Investment (TATHK Toronto)

Encouraged by China’s 12th Five Year Plan in 2011, Chinese mainland enterprises have increasingly sought overseas investment and partnership opportunities in a wide array of industries, ranging from natural resources and energy to intangible assets such as technologies, brands and distribution channels. Accumulated outward direct investment reached US$660 billion at the end of 2013, with close to 60% directed to, or channeled through, Hong Kong. This session will discuss the latest trends and characteristics of the outbound investment needs of Chinese mainland enterprises, and illustrate Hong Kong’s world-class services platform as the ideal conduit for facilitating and managing mainland enterprises’ overseas investments.
