The Insurance Authority (IA) today (14 May 2025) welcomed passage of the Companies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2024 (Amendment Bill), providing a simple and cost-effective framework for companies seeking re-domiciliation to Hong Kong.
"The Amendment Bill is eagerly awaited by authorized insurers incorporated outside Hong Kong but with a prominent local presence. Their choice of Hong Kong as home base fully reflects the strengths and allure of our market driven by connectivity among cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area," said Mr Clement Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of the IA.
The IA will work closely with all relevant parties to enable interested insurers to kick-start their re-domiciliation process under the new regime.
