Trade and Investment between GBA and ASEAN and the Roles of Hong Kong

ASEAN is increasingly becoming a preferred trading partner and investment destination for mainland enterprises. HKTDC Research, in collaboration with United Overseas Bank Hong Kong, conducted a survey and in‑depth interviews with GBA companies in mid‑2021. The study finds that close to 60% of GBA companies are planning to expand into ASEAN in the next three years and Hong Kong is well-positioned to serve as a trade platform for these two regions.
