HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2025 – As Hong Kong continues to navigate global economic shifts and rapid technological transformation, CPA Australia has today submitted a series of recommendations to the Hong Kong Government for the Policy Address 2025 consultation.
As one of the world’s largest professional accounting bodies, CPA Australia has outlined proposed measures across five key areas:
Reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre
Developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology (I&T) hub
Promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) and the green economy
Diversifying the economy
Developing, attracting and retaining talent.
Ms Karina Wong, Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said: “Amid the uncertainties created by trade frictions with major economies, Hong Kong has demonstrated its unique advantages as a strategic gateway connecting mainland China and the world. We need to amplify our competitiveness to secure the city’s long-term economic vitality, for example, the free port status and unrivalled business environment.”
CPA Australia recommends the HKSAR Government considers introducing a Qualified Refundable Tax Credit (QRTC) scheme for multi-national enterprises in the maritime services and commodity trading sectors. A QRTC provides a more flexible and effective incentive structure that can help to boost these sectors.
“A QRTC would allow Hong Kong to better compete for multinational investment and reinforce its position as a premier international trade centre and shipping centre,” Ms Wong said. “We also propose expanding the scope of the half-rate tax concessionary regime for commodity trading to include the captive commodities traders serving group companies outside Hong Kong and include the financial commodity transactions, such as derivatives trading.”
Low-altitude economy is another area that CPA Australia supports to diversify the economy, for its potential to transform logistics, mobility, and urban planning.
Ms Wong added: “Hong Kong can lead in low-altitude innovation by establishing demonstration zones, collaborating with the Greater Bay Area on cross-border channels, and attracting global talent to this emerging sector. With strong research capabilities and a growing commitment to innovation and technology implementation – evidenced by the establishment of government-led Regulatory Sandbox pilot projects, Hong Kong is well-positioned to translate innovation into practical applications.”
An efficient and effective government process to deliver public services, and a green environment for sustainable development are crucial factors to do business, as well as to attract enterprises and investments to Hong Kong. Therefore, CPA Australia proposes a suite of initiatives including the promotion of a robust e-government framework.
Mr Cyrus Cheung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025 said: “We suggest the Government considers modernising operations and implements a ‘tell us once’ compliance model for individual and business data access in a secure and convenient manner. For example, we propose introducing legislation to allow data sharing across relevant and approved government agencies, and to establish an integrated platform that enhances data management across governmental departments. To simplify the processes of public services, we also suggest the Government reduces its reliance on in-person authentication where appropriate, and consolidates government services onto a single platform, such as iAM Smart, which allows online authentication across different services.”
Mr Cheung also emphasised the importance of sustainable development in shaping Hong Kong’s future. He called for better alignment of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance with the international standards to attract investment in green projects.
“Energy policy is core in our sustainability goals. The taxonomy should reflect the role of various forms of low-carbon energy in supporting Hong Kong’s transition to a net-zero economy,” he said. “We also encourage the government to develop a standardised carbon trading framework and explore the Carbon Connect initiative to strengthen Hong Kong’s leadership position in green finance.”
Hong Kong’s sound financial system and free flow of capital continue to underpin strong investment inflows, and the city is poised to return to its position as the world’s top IPO market in 2025, Mr Kelvin Leung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said. “Despite global uncertainties and trade tensions, Hong Kong’s capital market remained resilient, drawing more family offices to setup in the city and reinforcing its role as a preferred venue for fund raisings.
“Investors choose Hong Kong for investment and wealth management because we are globally connected, rule-of-law based and responsive to market needs. We should be more proactive in promoting Hong Kong as a dual listing destination for overseas companies, and we encourage the Government and relevant regulators to explore the feasibility of an “IPO Connect” mechanism, to meet growing mainland investor demand for access to global assets.”
To increase private market liquidity, CPA Australia suggests piloting an intermittent trading facility for private companies in a controlled environment. “This would offer growth-stage companies a stepping stone toward future public listings, supported by clear eligibility, proportionate disclosure and robust settlement safeguards,,” Leung said.
Mr Leung also highlighted opportunities in digital assets, “It is a notable step for Hong Kong to launch the ‘LEAP’ framework to develop a trusted and innovative digital-assets ecosystem. We welcome the Government’s move to promote the responsible expansion of stablecoins under a fit-for-purpose regulatory regime. The Government should also consider a clear roadmap for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation that balances innovation with strong investor protection.”
CPA Australia has also proposed recommendations on strengthening SME cybersecurity such as to launch a CyberSafe SME Subsidy Programme and introduce a CyberSafe HK certification. We also suggest initiatives such as increasing maternity and paternity leave similar to other developed economies, to attract and retain talent.

Blackpanda’s IR-1 subscription achieves triple-digit growth, securing Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Company of the Year Award for cyber incident response leadership.
Traditional incident response services cost $25,000–$100,000 per incident, pricing out the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that represent a major share of cyberattacks. Many SMEs facing breaches cannot afford expert help.
Blackpanda’s IR-1 subscriptionaddresses this crisis through fixed-cost, SLA-backed incident response delivered via a unified SaaS platform. Combining 24/7 expert response, continuous vulnerability scanning, and embedded cyber insurance, the subscription model has achieved triple-digit year-over-year growth since its 2023 launch.
“Traditional incident response has been like premium healthcare: excellent if you can afford it, devastating if you can’t,” said Gene Yu, Founder & CEO of Blackpanda. “IR-1 is making digital emergency response as accessible as roadside assistance, protecting businesses across Asia that were previously left defenseless.”
At the core of Frost & Sullivan’s recognition is Blackpanda’s innovative Assurance-to-Insurance (A2I) approach, which integrates immediate response with financial protection under a single point of accountability. As both the incident responder and Lloyd’s of London coverholder, Blackpanda eliminates the silos between independent responders, insurers, and forensic providers during a crisis. This unified approach enables faster containment, lowers premiums, and eliminates IR deductibles.
The company’s partner-led strategy embeds IR-1 subscriptions directly into telecommunications packages, managed service offerings, and enterprise hardware across Asia. Partnerships with regional telcos integrate cyber emergency response into broadband packages, extending enterprise-grade protection to consumers and SMEs through trusted providers.
“Our second consecutive award validates that subscription-based, partner-driven democratization is the future of cyber resilience in Asia,” added Gene Yu. “When a Hong Kong hotel or Philippine manufacturer faces ransomware, they deserve the same level of expert response as a multinational corporation.”
As a hyper-specialized incident response firm operating from strategic hubs in Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Manila, Blackpanda is expanding its mission to make cyber emergency response an essential business safeguard rather than a privilege reserved for a few.
About Blackpanda
Blackpanda is a Lloyd’s of London–accredited insurance coverholder and Asia’s leading local cyber incident response firm, delivering end-to-end digital emergency support across the region.
We are pioneering the A2I (Assurance to Insurance) model — uniting detection, response, and insurance into a seamless pathway that accelerates recovery and strengthens resilience.
Through expert consulting, response assurance subscriptions, and integrated cyber insurance, we help organisations prepare, respond, and recover from cyber attacks — all delivered by local specialists working in concert.
Our mission is clear: to bring complete cyber peace of mind to every organisation in Asia, from the first moment of breach through full recovery and beyond.

A cornerstone of this commitment is the resort’s close affiliation with Sunflower Organic Farm, a residential home for girls run by Friends of Thai Daughters, a non-profit that provides education, safe shelter, and emotional support to ethnic minority hill tribe girls at risk of trafficking. Dusit plans to further support the girls with training programmes and workshops conducted by institutions under Dusit Hospitality Education, namely Dusit Thani College and The Food School, as well as structured work experience at Tantawan Tented Camp and other Dusit properties, creating clear pathways for future careers in hospitality.
Guests are also invited to tour the farm, which supplies the camp with fresh produce, fragrant herbs, and free-range eggs. At the camp’s al fresco Reu Doo Gaan restaurant, northern Thai dishes and international favourites are prepared with these and other locally sourced ingredients, giving visitors a true taste of the region while supporting environmentally responsible practices.
“Managing Tantawan Tented Camp gives us a fantastic opportunity to bring the Tree of Life vision to life beyond our branded properties and showcase our commitment to having a positive impact wherever we operate,” said Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. “From sourcing food directly from the farm to providing education and training for girls and young women, this property shows how sustainability and hospitality can work hand in hand. With work experience opportunities through our educational arm, we can create transformative pathways for the next generation while offering guests an unforgettable and meaningful experience.”
Tantawan Tented Camp also offers a variety of facilities to enhance each stay, including a central swimming pool framed by tall palms and wildflowers with stunning mountain views, and an outdoor amphitheatre for movie nights under the stars, complete with a cosy bonfire. Guests seeking adventure can try archery, visit nearby hill tribes and an elephant sanctuary, or book a private ‘forest and field picnic’ featuring artisanal breads, seasonal salads, gourmet cheeses, and house-made delicacies. Guests are also welcome to play pickleball at Sunflower Farm’s two covered and lighted courts.
Families will appreciate a variety of creative activities, from pottery and glass painting to ‘Tung‘ making – the creation of colourful banners once used by Lanna villagers to bless homes, temples, and festivals. Participants can learn the spiritual meanings behind each design, symbolising values such as good fortune, protection, and prosperity.
To mark the start of Dusit’s management, Tantawan Tented Camp is offering a special ‘Stay 3, Pay 2’ package starting at THB 9,450 net per room per night (approx. USD 290*), inclusive of breakfast for two. The offer is available for booking now through 15 October 2025, for stays through 30 November 2025, exclusively via tantawantentedcamp.com.
In addition, Dusit is offering an exclusive two-night half-board voucher package at THB 23,900 net (approx. USD 734*), valid for stays from 21 August 2025 to 31 March 2026. The vouchers can be purchased directly at the 2025 Thai Tiew Thai travel fair in Bangkok (21–24 August) or online at dusitshop.com (21–31 August).

KYOTO, Japan, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ROHM Co., Ltd. has launched the AW2K21, a 30V N-channel MOSFET in a common-source configuration that delivers an industry-best* ON-resistance of 2.0 milliohms (typ.) in a compact 2.0mm x 2.0mm WLCSP package. This innovation addresses the growing demand for fast charging in compact devices like smartphones and wearables, which require bidirectional protection and high-current handling.
Traditional solutions often rely on two large MOSFETs to meet stringent specs — 20A current rating, 28-30V breakdown voltage, and less than or equal to 5 milliohms ON-resistance — resulting in increased board space and complexity. ROHM’s AW2K21 overcomes these limitations by integrating two MOSFETs into a single ultra-compact package, enabling bidirectional protection with reduced footprint and power loss.
The proprietary structure enhances cell density and places the drain terminal on the top surface, unlike conventional vertical trench MOSFETs. This allows for a higher chip-to-package area ratio, minimizing ON-resistance per unit area and supporting high-current operation. Compared to standard 3.3mm x 3.3mm MOSFETs, the AW2K21 reduces footprint and ON-resistance by approximately 81% and 33%, respectively. It also outperforms similarly sized GaN HEMTs with up to 50% lower ON-resistance.
Ideal for power supply and charging circuits, the AW2K21 also excels in load switch applications as a unidirectional protection MOSFET. ROHM is further advancing miniaturization with a 1.2mm x 1.2mm model currently under development.
ROHM continues to drive energy efficiency and miniaturization in electronics, contributing to a more sustainable society through high-performance semiconductor solutions.
