Deloitte China Launches HK LEAP Strategy with HK$500 Million Investment

Deloitte China has launched its HK LEAP strategy with a HK$500 million investment over the next four years to accelerate Hong Kong’s economic transformation and create around 1,000 jobs, announced in a press release. The initiative aims to strengthen the city’s position as a global financial and innovation hub.

As part of the strategy, Deloitte released its 2025 Hong Kong Economic Outlook White Paper, outlining four growth engines for the city’s future: financial innovation, support for Chinese enterprises expanding globally, regional innovation and technology collaboration, and the green transition. The firm said these areas will be key to driving diversified economic development.

The report highlights fintech and digital finance as major focus areas, noting Hong Kong’s leadership in IPO fundraising and the growth of tokenised asset transactions. It also calls for expanding investment channels and strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a corporate treasury centre for Mainland Chinese enterprises.

Deloitte plans to deepen cross-border collaboration within the Greater Bay Area to boost innovation and technology, while also promoting a regional green transition framework to support carbon-intensive industries. The initiative underscores the firm’s commitment to Hong Kong’s long-term economic growth and its role within the Asia-Pacific region.
