 | | Hong Kong's public schools are operated by the Education and Manpower Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. | | | Hong Kong has one of the least restricted economies in the world and is basically duty-free. | | | As a special administrative region, Hong Kong is guaranteed by the Basic Law to have a relatively high degree of autonomy for at least 50 years (until 2047) under the policy of "One Country, Two Systems". |

| | According to the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, Hong Kong maintains a dual income tax system under which individuals are taxed either progressively, between 2 percent and 20 percent, on income adjusted for deductions and allowances or at a flat rate of 16 percent on their gross income, depending on which liability is lower. | | | Hong Kong's fiscal burden of government score is 0.2 point better this year, and its government intervention score is 0.5 point better. | | | Hong Kong has passed legislation making it easier for foreign banks to enter the market by removing restrictions on the number of branches foreign banks can operate in Hong Kong (November 2001) and by lowering asset and deposit criteria for new foreign bank branches (May 2002). |

| | Hong Kong (01/06) |
| | The Hong Kong Government has generally resisted pressure for large-scale public expenditures to stimulate the economy due to growing public policy concerns with the government budget deficit. | | | Hong Kong is an independent customs territory and economic entity separate from the rest of China and is able to enter into international agreements on its own behalf in commercial and economic matters. | | | Hong Kong enjoys a number of economic strengths, including accumulated public and private wealth from decades of unprecedented growth, a sound banking system, virtually no public debt, a strong legal system, and an able and rigorously enforced anti-corruption regime. |
