Hong Kong has been a beacon of capitalism since its independence in sovereignty in July of 1997, attracting the interest of international investors worldwide. Despite setbacks during the Asian Financial Crisis and 2008 Global Economic Downturn, the country has become one of the world's leading financial centers known for its low taxes and free trade agreements.
Quintessential Free Market Economy
Hong Kong was once described by Milton Friedman as the world's greatest experiment in laissez-faire capitalism, although there have been a number of regulations introduced since then. Still, the country has ranked the freest countries in the world on the Index of Economic Freedom for every year since 1995 - before it was even independent.
Hong Kong now hosts the seventh largest stock exchange in the world, the largest initial public offering market in the world, and has one of the greatest concentrations of corporate headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region. Perhaps even more staggering, over 8% of its households own at least one million U.S. dollars in net worth.
According to the 2012 Wealth Report by Knight Frank Research and Citi Private Bank, Hong Kong will become the world's second largest economy measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by 2050 with the metric hitting $116,639 per person. By comparison, the U.S. is projected to be fifth on the list after four Asian economies.
