Foundations of Success

Intangible matters are as important as physical facilities for business to flourish. Hong Kong's civil, economic, social and legal institutions are built on the following 'four pillars of wisdom'.

The Rule of Law

Our laws are public, apply to all, and are enforced by courts which are fair, open and independent

A Level Playing Field

No favours, no patronage; the Financial Secretary chairs a high-powered Competition Policy Advisory Group to ensure fair and free competition.

Corruption-Free Government

We have a clean, politically-neutral civil service with a total commitment to integrity, backed up by the world-renowned Independent Commission Against Corruption

Free Flow of Information

Information is the lifeblood of modern business for sound decisions to be made; it is also the best protection against corruption and abuse of power, by government or in the business world.
