HONG Kong reclaimed its spot as Asia’s top financial centre, knocking Singapore back to second place in the region, according to a survey.
Globally, Hong Kong ranked third, behind New York and London in the latest Global Financial Centres Index released on Monday (Sep 23). Singapore placed fourth worldwide. Dublin, Chicago and Dubai moved up in the rankings, while Shanghai, Beijing and Geneva moved down in the index.
It’s welcome good news for Hong Kong’s finance sector, which was battered by pandemic restrictions that prompted many workers to leave the city. The property market, which has failed to recover, has slowed activity and consumer demand. The government is betting that its initiatives and lower interest rates may revive economic activity.
