Hong Kong Again Named Asia's Most International City in 2026 Index
HKGCC and Ipsos released the Asian Cities Internationality Index 2026: Hong Kong ranked first at 74.6/100, ahead of Singapore and Seoul.
Why it matters
Hong Kong's official business community says the city has not just held its top ranking but improved on it — a data point its government is likely to use in courting talent and investment. Singapore held second and Seoul moved into third, signalling an increasingly competitive field among Asia's hubs.
Full report
The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) and independent research firm Ipsos on Monday, Oct. 5, launched the second edition of the Asian Cities Internationality Index (ACII), a data-driven ranking of 11 major Asian cities across seven dimensions: business and economy, quality of life, infrastructure and connectivity, innovation and ideas, human capital diversity, cultural interaction, and government and legal system for business.
Hong Kong stayed Asia's top international city and the region's premier gateway for regional and global operations, scoring 74.6 out of 100 — up from 73.7 in 2025. Singapore was second, followed by Seoul in third, Tokyo in fourth and Shanghai in fifth, with Shanghai leading the region in innovation. Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei each showed distinct strengths; Mumbai rose to ninth, while Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City rounded out the list at 10th and 11th.
"Hong Kong's top ranking proves our fundamental resilience and underscores that global businesses continue to view the city as the ultimate bridge between East and West," HKGCC Chairman Jacob Kam said, adding that the index provides strategic insights for Asian cities to collaborate and build a formidable regional economic cluster.
