HONG KONG : The Hong Kong government plans to focus on recruiting talent from South-East Asia and Europe to supplement and diversify the city’s imported labour force.

“There is a good talent pool , and I think it’s worthwhile for us to give it a try,” he said, adding that the government also aimed to hire financial and technology talent from Europe. Nurturing greater cultural sensitivity and ensuring more access to halal goods would also help attract more Malaysian talents including Muslims to Hong Kong, the chamber said.

Hong Kong officials said in May that they were striving to offer more halal food options across the city to woo more visitors from South-East Asia, the Middle East and other Muslim-majority regions. In April, unions representing workers in bus services lambasted a government move to allow bus service operator Citybus to hire 20 mainland drivers to alleviate what officials said was a “severe labour shortage”.

Hong Kong has been ramping up recruitment of imported workers in an effort to plug large gaps in its labour force, in higher-skilled and professional services as well as other sectors including construction, transport and health.
