The World's Freest Economy
Hong Kong is one of the most open, externally orientated economies in the world, built on free enterprise and free trade.
It has been rated as the world’s freest economy by the Heritage Foundation of the United States annually since 1995; and by the Cato Institute/Fraser Institute since 1996. Hong Kong embraces the globalisation of international trade and economic activities, with benefits for itself and all who do business in the city.
