On June 5, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government\u2019s Invest Hong Kong held its annual welcome reception at the Government Headquarters, attended by more than 380 representatives from global companies. Lee Ka-chiu personally attended the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Image from the web<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A set of figures was released at the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
In the first half of 2026, a total of413 companies<\/strong>Mainland and overseas companies established or expanded their operations in Hong Kong, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 10%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Expected to generate more than53 billion Hong Kong dollars<\/strong>Foreign Direct Investment, up year-over-year36%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Generate more than8,600<\/strong>New Job Openings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Lee Ka-chiu put it very plainly: \u201cCompanies choose Hong Kong because it is not just a market, but also a strategic hub with a global reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, Hong Kong\u2019s Financial Secretary Paul Chan further defined this \u201cpivot\u201d in a public setting\u2014under the nation\u2019s \u201cdual circulation\u201d strategy, Hong Kong is playing a role in\u201cSuper Contacts\u201d and \u201cConverters\u201d<\/strong>Its dual functions help mainland enterprises connect with global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
01 Order No. 837 Takes Effect on July 1; Hong Kong\u2019s Role Is Being Redefined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The timing of this data release is quite interesting\u2014with less than a week remaining before Order No. 837 officially takes effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the key changes in Order No. 837? The filing requirements for individual overseas investments have been incorporated into the \u201cpenetrative supervision\u201d framework, and the phrase \u201cHong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan shall follow these provisions\u201d clearly outlines the approach:Hong Kong companies are no longer beyond the law.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this isn\u2019t a negative development. Quite the contrary\u2014once regulators have squeezed out the excess,The prices for truly valuable Hong Kong company services will actually increase.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? Because a large number of shell companies\u2014those \u201cregistered in Hong Kong solely to generate transaction volume\u201d\u2014will be automatically filtered out by Order No. 837. The remaining companies\u2014those with genuine operational needs in Hong Kong\u2014will enter a cleaner, more regulated market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This corresponds precisely to a signal in the Investment Promotion Agency's data that has been overlooked:The year-over-year increase in 36% is not only reflected in the number of investment projects attracted but also in the quality of \u201cdirect investment.\u201d<\/strong> The 53 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a double-counting of registered capital, but rather a genuine inflow that includes business operations, a team, and a tax payment history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
02 It\u2019s not a question of \u201cwhether or not to register a Hong Kong company,\u201d but rather \u201chow to register it correctly under Order No. 837.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For cross-border sellers, the rationale behind registering a Hong Kong company today is completely different from what it was two years ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HK$53 billion figure from the Investment Promotion Agency, in turn, serves as a mirror:If you want to truly establish a foothold in Hong Kong\u2014rather than just setting up a shell company\u2014the current policy environment is actually more favorable\u2014because the system has weeded out the fluff.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if your Hong Kong company is still operating under the \u201cregistration + zero-reporting + virtual address\u201d model, Order No. 837 is the best reason for you to reevaluate your corporate structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
