Special edition of the Navigator report for the Belt and Road Summit 2025 in Hong Kong

 

As a key strategic hub of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Hong Kong leverages its unique advantage under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework to connect the Chinese mainland with global markets, playing an irreplaceable role as a “value-adding partner”. This role goes beyond serving as a bridge; it is rooted in a highly collaborative B&R ecosystem built on five pillars: policy, finance, industry, professional services and talent & culture – making Hong Kong a true engine of value creation within the B&R.

Hong Kong’s role in the Belt and Road: from super-connector to value-adding partner; Injecting steady and innovative “Hong Kong momentum” into the global economy

HONG KONG, 8 SEPTEMBER 2025 – EY today unveiled a special edition of its Navigator report for the Belt and Road Summit 2025 in Hong Kong – Hong Kong’s role in the Belt and Road: from super-connector to value-adding partner (“the report”). As a leadership piece, the report examines Hong Kong’s key achievements and strategic transformation over the past 12 years of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It explores how Hong Kong's role has evolved from a participant to a “value-chain enhancer” by leveraging its unique advantages under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework. Hong Kong has built an ecosystem encompassing the five pillars of the Belt and Road (B&R) ecosystem – policy, finance, industry and trade, professional services, and talent and culture. The report also analyzes the current state and potential of Hong Kong-Middle East connectivity from three dimensions: macroeconomics, tax environment and key industry opportunities.
