Boston Consulting Group: Hong Kong First Becomes the World’s Largest Cross-Border Investment Hub

A report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows that Hong Kong has surpassed Switzerland for the first time in 2025 to become the world’s largest cross-border investment hub.

The report states: "Hong Kong narrowly edged out Switzerland to become the world’s largest cross-border investment center for the first time."

Data shows that Hong Kong's foreign asset size grew by 10.7% year-on-year, reaching $2.9 trillion. This is largely driven by capital inflows from mainland China and a vibrant securities market, evidenced by numerous initial public offerings (IPOs) and rising stock prices of major internet platforms.

BCG forecasts that Hong Kong’s foreign capital will grow at an annual rate of 9% through 2030.

Singapore ranks third on the list, with foreign assets growing by 10.3% to reach $2.1 trillion. Positioned as Asia’s most diversified asset management center, Singapore serves as a neutral intermediary connecting Asian and Western financial markets. Over the next five years, Singapore is expected to see an average annual growth rate of 9% in foreign investment inflows.
