BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The recent affirmations of Hong Kong's credit ratings by Fitch, S&P and Moody's, all with stable outlooks, demonstrate the region's economic resilience and positive outlook amid current rising uncertainties facing the world economy, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
The positive evaluations of Hong Kong's credit profile is another vote of confidence to Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular news briefing.
Hong Kong's robust financial system, active capital market and thriving IPO market say a lot about global investors' confidence in Hong Kong, Lin said, citing the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
What's more, the steady progress of China's high-quality development offers the region greater development opportunities and driving forces, the spokesperson said.
"We're fully confident in Hong Kong's development. Foreign companies are welcome to invest in Hong Kong with optimism for development and prosperity," he added. ■
