Hong Kong once again named world’s freest economy  
The Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of the World: 2017 Annual Report which compares 159 countries and territories has named Hong Kong as the world’s freest economy.
 
The ranking is based on 5 areas: size of government, legal structure and security of property rights, access to sound money, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation of credit, labour and business. Hong Kong continues to achieve particularly high rankings in the regulation and economic freedom areas.
 
In a statement the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government stated that the Institute’s high regard of Hong Kong affirms the administration’s commitment in upholding economic freedom and in sustaining a favourable business environment.

In response to claims in the Institute’s press release that there are concerns interference from the Mainland could affect the rule of law in Hong Kong, the government said that there are no objective facts to support this claim.

IXPA Conference in Hong Kong
With 13 partners across 17 countries on 4 continents, IXPA is a leading alliance of interim management providers with local expertise and global reach. Each partner has a strong background of delivering a personal and well regarded interim management provider service in their given country. By working together, we can support clients worldwide. In September, the IXPA partners met at Gemini HQ in Hong Kong.
 
Ahead of our meeting in Hong Kong we asked the IXPA partners to report on their activity over the past year. We discovered that almost 90% had fulfilled a role in transition management, making this the most frequently sought interim role. Growth and transformation was the second most popular assignment, followed by turnaround and restructuring. We also found that the manufacturing sector is by far the largest source of interim work for IXPA partners around the globe. Each one of our partners has provided experts to manufacturing companies in the past year.
