HKGCC 2012 Annual Business Prospects Survey

9 October 2012

Dear Member

News about encouraging employment growth in the U.S., governmental cohesion in Europe, and steady growth in Asia is lifting hopes that the global economy may finally be turning a corner. But what does your business intuition tell you? What are the key challenges that your business will have to face in the year ahead? How will increasing legislation on businesses affect your operations? 

These are just some of the questions that I hope you will be able to answer in this year’s Annual Business Survey. This year’s survey is particularly pertinent as we have included two new questions relating to the Statutory Minimum Wage and proposed Standard Working Hours.

I sincerely hope you can spare 5 minutes to fill out the online survey at 

http://www.chamber.org.hk/survey2012.asp

  before 2 November, 2012 and make your voice heard so that we can present an accurate picture of actual business conditions and sentiment. Your views will allow us to present practical policy recommendations to Government that squarely address the challenges that the business community faces. The results of the survey will be presented by our Chief Economist, David O’Rear, at the 18th Annual Hong Kong Business Summit, which will take place on 29 November, 2012 at the JW Marriott.

As a token of our appreciation, we will give each member who completes the survey HK$200 worth of Chamber Coupons, which can be used for any Chamber event. If you have any query about the survey, please contact Viola Tong at

Thank you for sharing your views and I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you at the Business Summit.

Yours sincerely,

Shirley Yuen

CEO
