The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), the focal organization for the APO Center of Excellence on Public-Sector Productivity, continues its in-depth exploration of governance dynamics across APO member economies. In this edition, we turn our focus to Hong Kong’s public sector, unveiling key aspects of its civil service operations and strategic public management.
According to the World Bank Group’s inaugural Business Ready 2024 Report, Hong Kong SAR ranks among the top 10 global business hubs, achieving high scores in international trade, business entry, and utility services—an accolade that underscores its streamlined regulations and robust infrastructure.
While recent concerns have emerged regarding operational risks linked to the national security law, Hong Kong’s strong common law framework and proven regulatory practices sustain a vibrant, business-friendly environment. Additional international assessments further affirm the city’s stature as a leading global financial and technological hub.
By examining economic indicators, budget allocations, and civil service composition, the DAP delivers actionable insights that pave the way for sustainable and inclusive growth in Hong Kong.
