Since the launch of the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (NEIS) on 1 March, the scheme has sparked investor enthusiasm, with double-digit applications and over 1,600 enquiries received.
The launch of this scheme is not only to fill the current funding gap in Hong Kong, but also to inject new vitality and hope into Hong Kong against the backdrop of global economic turmoil.
Eligible applicants are required to invest at least HK$30 million in permissible investment assets, which will not only directly increase Hong Kong's capital liquidity, but also help enhance the activity of the stock market and indirectly promote the recovery of Hong Kong's economy.
It is worth mentioning that the overwhelming response to the scheme reflects the confidence of high-net-worth individuals in Hong Kong's stable business environment and diversified investment opportunities.
Despite the uncertainties in the global economy, Hong Kong's attractiveness as an international financial centre remains undiminished.
The Government and InvestHK have been actively promoting the scheme and have provided investors with in-depth advice and support.
It is important to note that the program is not just receiving attention from potential applicants, with 70 per cent of inquiries coming from professional service providers.
It shows that this policy not only attracts direct capital investors, but also stimulates the vitality of related service industries.
This phenomenon reveals Hong Kong's role in the global economy – not only as a hub for capital, but also as a hub for professional services.
Therefore, in the long run, this move will not only attract more foreign investment, but also promote the development of related industries and enhance Hong Kong's international competitiveness.
At the same time, Hong Kong undoubtedly provides a rare platform for high-net-worth individuals who are looking for global asset allocation.
For investors, their purpose is naturally to pursue the maximization of profits;
Hong Kong, on the other hand, hopes to strengthen its position as an international financial centre by attracting foreign investment.
This mutually beneficial relationship is the key to the success of this policy.
In addition, the Government's follow-up measures, such as enhancing the liquidity of the stock market and reducing the transaction costs of stocks, will further enhance Hong Kong's investment environment.
With the implementation of these measures, it is believed that more investors will be attracted to Hong Kong, further strengthening Hong Kong's position as an asset and wealth management hub.
It is worth mentioning that for successful investors, the scheme is not only an investment opportunity, but also an opportunity to integrate into Hong Kong and eventually become permanent residents of Hong Kong.
This will not only enhance investors' sense of belonging to Hong Kong, but also contribute to the diversification and internationalisation of Hong Kong society.
Hong Kong is now in a critical transition period, and the inflow of capital is undoubtedly crucial.
Therefore, for investors who can afford it, don't miss this policy dividend period.
Hong Kong is waiting with open arms for investors from all over the world to come and buy.
For far-sighted capital tycoons, missing this opportunity may be missing the historical moment of growing together with Hong Kong.
