Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Civil and Commercial Judgments between Hong Kong and Mainland

To pursue the objective of effective implementation of the "one country, two systems" principle, the Department of Justice has taken steps to develop mutual legal assistance between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) so that disputes with cross boundary elements could be dealt with more effectively.

Under Article 95 of the Basic Law, the HKSAR "may, through consultations and in accordance with law, maintain juridical relations with the judicial organs of other parts of the country, and they may render assistance to each other".

This arrangement came into force on Monday 29 January 2024. Click on the title at left for full details.

Opportunities relating to Hong Kong's infrastructure development

The Transport and Logistics Bureau has outlined Hong Kong’s major transport infrastructure development blueprint for the coming 25+ years. If past experience is anything to go by, it is safe to say that most, if not all, of these project will be implemented more or less along the timeline shown on slide 23 of the presentation accessible by clicking the image at left.

The Financial Secretary has referred during meetings to investment of HKD90bn in infrastructure spending every year in the past few years, and this is set to be maintained at around HKD100bn per year in the coming few years, some of which will be financed by bonds.

Very few developed economies in the world have this kind of budget for greenfield development and this is seen as offering exciting opportunities for strong (but not necessarily large) companies who offer excellent and competitive products and services. This is the continuation of a long running trend driven by the solid infrastructure investments planned by the Hong Kong Government and entities such as InvestHK stand ready to assist any business in expanding their presence in Hong Kong to explore and tap into these opportunities.

Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA)

The Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) is the first free trade agreement ever concluded by the Mainland and Hong Kong. The main text of CEPA was signed on 29 June 2003.

CEPA adopts a building block approach, and the two sides have been working closely to introduce further liberalisation measures continually. The agreed liberalisation measures for various phases of CEPA are stipulated in the CEPA Legal Text.

CEPA is a win-win agreement embodying the close relationship of strength complementarity and joint development between the Mainland and Hong Kong. It brings new business opportunities to the Mainland, Hong Kong and all foreign investors. For Hong Kong, CEPA provides a window of opportunity for Hong Kong businesses to gain greater access to the Mainland market. CEPA also benefits the Mainland as Hong Kong serves as a perfect "springboard" for Mainland enterprises to reach out to the global market and accelerating the Mainland's full integration with the world economy. Foreign investors are welcome to establish businesses in Hong Kong to leverage on the CEPA benefits and join hands in tapping the vast opportunities of the Mainland market.
