AmCham Singapore’s Hong Kong Busines Environment Survey Now Live
The American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham Singapore) invites all member companies to participate in a 2 minute survey to better understand the implications of recent political and trade developments in Hong Kong to your business, as well as perceptions of Singapore as a regional hub.
This survey follows an earlier study done by AmCham Singapore in August 2019 on the impact of the protests in Hong Kong sparked by the so-called extradition bill (visit https://amcham.com.sg/amcham-publications/ to view the full report). More recently, Hong Kong has been experiencing renewed turmoil in the form of ongoing protests, the new National Security Law (NSL), and technology and trade bans by the U.S., compounding disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
All main members have received a survey link by email. To have the link resent or sent to someone else at your company, please contact Morgan Hughes. The survey closes Friday, August 7, 2020.
