Since the official restart of the "New Capital Investor Entry Scheme" in Hong Kong in March 2024, market feedback has been swift and positive.
By the end of 2025, the scheme had received a total of 2,852 applications, expected to bring over HKD 85.5 billion in funds to Hong Kong.
In the context of generally increasing thresholds and stricter approvals for global investment immigration, this achievement fully reflects Hong Kong's continued attractiveness as an international financial center and indicates a growing recognition of the value of Hong Kong residency among the market.
Hong Kong: A Global Financial Hub at the Intersection of East and West
As a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures, Hong Kong is one of the world's highly prosperous free ports and international metropolises, as well as one of the major financial centers globally. Hong Kong possesses the following core advantages:
• High Economic Freedom: Free movement of capital, free trade, high openness of capital markets, and a transparent business environment. Hong Kong has long been known for its market-oriented, international, and rule-of-law characteristics, making it a highly recognized business environment for entrepreneurs and investors.
• Stable Financial System: For business owners and high-net-worth families, Hong Kong is not only a city to live in but also an international asset management platform.
• Simple Tax System with Low Rates: Hong Kong has no capital gains tax, no estate tax, no global taxation, and relatively low profits tax. This tax structure provides significant flexibility for family asset planning, corporate structuring, and cross-border wealth management.
• High-Quality Education and Healthcare Resources: A mature international school system; comprehensive IB, A-Level, and AP courses; local universities ranked highly internationally; and a highly internationalized healthcare system in Hong Kong.
At the same time, Hong Kong shares cultural and linguistic similarities with the mainland, retaining an international environment while maintaining a sense of cultural identity.
