Advocacy

International Business Committee

NZCCHK is a member of the International Business Committee (IBC) chaired by the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Government. The IBC comprises the Chairpersons of each of 30+ international chambers of commerce currently existing in Hong Kong. It meet on a quarterly basis at the Central Government Offices in Hong Kong. The IBC is a valuable conduit for communication between the Hong Kong Government and the international business community. It serves as an information flow, feedback mechanism on issues facing business and a vehicle for international chambers to collectively advocate on behalf of their members.

Chamber members are welcome to bring forward topics of interest or concern for advancing to IBC meetings.
