HK again ranked world's freest economy
13-01-2009
Hong Kong has been ranked the world's freest economy - for the 15th year running. A study - conducted by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal - gave Hong Kong a score of 90 out of 100 - a slight improvement of 0.3 on last year. But one of the authors of the study, Terry Miller, warned that the future implementation of a competition law and a minimum wage, is likely to affect the territory's ranking.
