In a report released by the International Institute for Management Development on Tuesday, Hong Kong also ranked first in Asia, buoyed by improvements across the ranking’s three talent competitiveness factors.
The city’s ranking rose by eight places to 20th in “appeal”, and by one spot for both “readiness”, and “investment and development.”
Among the indicators, Hong Kong took the top spot for graduates in the sciences. It was also ranked third in the availability of financial skills and fifth in both remuneration of management and effectiveness of management education.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu revealed the latest ranking at the Post’s Hong Kong-Asean Summit on Tuesday.
The city has climbed the ranking for three consecutive years, coming in 16th in 2023.
