Hong Kong has seen significant improvements in economic growth and international confidence since the National Security Law became effective on June 30, 2020.
The law has enabled Hong Kong to move from chaos to stability, and ushered in a new era of "one country, two systems."
By safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests, it has been fundamental to maintaining Hong Kong's prosperous development and economic growth.
According to data from the government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), the region's GDP reached 407 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, up 2.5 percent year on year. Meanwhile, preliminary estimates have placed Hong Kong's GDP growth in 2025 at 3.5 percent.
In Hong Kong, capital markets have strengthened sharply, with Initial Public Offerings (IPO) fund-raising in the first half of 2025 rising sevenfold to 14 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first globally.
By the end of 2024, the number of overseas and Chinese mainland companies operating in Hong Kong had increased 10 percent year on year to 9,960.
Hong Kong's international status and confidence have also strengthened alongside the recovery. In 2025, it was ranked the world's freest economy, placed third as a global financial center, and returned to the top three in world competitiveness rankings.
