Deloitte held its annual partners' meeting in Hong Kong, releasing the "2025 Hong Kong Economic Outlook Whitepaper: Accumulating Strength for New Growth – Hong Kong's Economic Transformation and Opportunity Outlook." The firm also launched the "Hong Kong LEAP" strategy, pledging to invest HK$500 million over the next four years to create around 1,000 high-quality jobs. The initiative will focus on four key growth drivers: financial innovation, corporate globalization, technology collaboration, and green transformation.

Liu Minghua, CEO of Deloitte China, stated that the 15th Five-Year Plan will inject momentum into mainland China's economic development, with Hong Kong also benefiting. She expressed confidence that Hong Kong will continue to play a positive role in supporting mainland enterprises' global expansion and green transformation efforts.

Au Chun Hing, Managing Partner of Deloitte China's South China region, highlighted Hong Kong's highly internationalized financial market, noting its active efforts to attract more A-share companies to list in the city. Au estimated that among the top 500 A-share companies in mainland China, over 200 still have the potential to list as H-shares in Hong Kong. Additionally, with easing geopolitical risks, both overseas and mainland enterprises may find more opportunities to spin off their international operations for listing in Hong Kong.
