*****************************************************************************************
Bendura Bank is the fourth largest bank in Liechtenstein by after-tax profit. As of June 30, 2018, the bank was managing close to US$4 billion of assets through offering financial services to entrepreneurial families and high net-worth individuals, including asset management and investment advice, transaction banking, and security issuance and investment funds. The opening of its Hong Kong office is to facilitate business development and to work more closely with partners both in Hong Kong and the surrounding region, according to the Director and Head of Representative Office Hong Kong, Mr Philipp Forster.
He said, "Hong Kong is not only a vibrant city with sophisticated infrastructure and professional business services that enable it to stay competitive in the global marketplace. It also has a prestigious reputation for being an international city that attracts talent from around the world. Together with its convenient location in the region and close proximity to the Mainland, the city enables us to take advantage of the business opportunities and potential present in the region."
He added, "Our Hong Kong representative office will act as a real-time gateway between Asia and Liechtenstein, gathering closer and up-to-date information of the industry in the region. Ultimately it will help to expand our footprint in other markets in the region."
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang said, "Hong Kong as an international financial centre has a robust financial regulatory regime with a well-educated workforce and the absence of capital control. The Guangdong Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area development and the Belt and Road Initiative will only further strengthen the city's financial hub status. In this context, Hong Kong offers a perfect location from which global companies like Bendura Bank AG can thrive and expand around the globe."
