HK to grow strong like a dragon, CE vows
Chief Executive John Lee said on Saturday that he wants Hong Kong to grow strong like a dragon in the new Lunar Year, whatever the obstacles in its way.  In a pre-recorded message marking the start of the Year of the Dragon, Mr Lee said his government's priorities would include integrating into the nation's development and making the SAR a more competitive and attractive place to do business.  He pointed to initiatives to bolster the economy, including attracting organisations that manage large amounts of capital. "The government will also continue to vigorously promote and attract family offices and asset owners from around the world to Hong Kong," he said.  Family offices are investment businesses that manage the wealth of one or more rich families. Asset owners include pension funds and insurance companies, as well as sovereign wealth funds and other organisations with large amounts of capital to put to use, such as university endowments and foundations. "We will also work hard to develop a headquarters economy to attract companies from home and abroad to set up headquarters or branches in Hong Kong," Lee added. "We hope to introduce quality companies to Hong Kong."
