HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Hong Kong jumped one place to become the world’s second most competitive economy, according to the 2026 World Competitiveness Ranking published today (June 18) by the Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD). It is Hong Kong’s highest ranking since 2019, and builds on three consecutive years of improvement.

Welcoming the report, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government said, “The World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) 2026 reaffirms Hong Kong as one of the most competitive economies in the world, and notes that Hong Kong’s rise to second sustains the strong upward trajectory from 2024 and 2025.”

In announcing the results, the IMD noted that, amid rising geopolitical tensions, competitive advantage hinges on credible institutions, predictable rules, enforceable commitments and public trust.

According to WCY 2026, Hong Kong’s rise reflects sustained performance across the four competitiveness factors measured. Among these factors, Hong Kong ranks second in “Government efficiency” and third in “Business efficiency”. “Infrastructure” and “Economic performance” rank eighth and 11^th respectively.

As regards the various competitiveness sub-factors, Hong Kong tops the rankings in “Tax policy” and “Business legislation”, ranks second in “Finance”, third in “International trade”, “International investment”, “Management practices” and “Education”, and fourth in “Public finance” and “Basic infrastructure”.

“In the competitiveness factor ‘Government efficiency’, Hong Kong continues to rank second globally, reflecting the HKSAR Government’s ongoing efforts to promote free and open, stable, predictable and business-friendly economic policies, as well as the international community’s trust in Hong Kong’s legal and regulatory environment,” the spokesperson said.

“Hong Kong’s ‘Business efficiency’ is ranked third globally, reflecting the strong support for industry development rendered by our robust financial ecosystem, as well as the seamless alignment of the city’s business practices and environment with international best standards.”

Amid rapidly evolving geopolitical dynamics, Hong Kong, with its close connectivity to both the Chinese Mainland and the world under the “one country, two systems” principle, and its sound institutions, open markets and sustained investments in innovation, has become a “value hub” that offers both security and growth opportunities.

In fact, Hong Kong continues to excel in various international rankings including those for economy, finance, and talent. The International Monetary Fund has also given positive recognition to Hong Kong in recent months, and major credit rating agencies have successively reaffirmed Hong Kong’s credit ratings and ‘stable’ outlook.

“All these echo the WCY 2026 results,” the spokesperson said.

Currently, Hong Kong is formulating at full speed its first Five-Year Plan, to proactively align with the National 15^th Five-Year Plan.

“With the staunch support of our country, the HKSAR Government will work together with all sectors of society to strengthen our role and function as a ‘super connector’ and ‘super value-adder’, with a view to better integrating into and serving the overall national development, achieving our own high-quality development, creating more new room for development for our people and businesses, as well as opening up new opportunities for global investors and enterprises,” the spokesperson said.

MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Galaxy Macau cements its position as a defining force in Macau’s luxury hospitality landscape, garnering an impressive collection of six accolades at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026. Recognised through a combination of editorial curation and votes from discerning global travellers, these honours reaffirm Galaxy Macau’s unwavering commitment to continuous innovation, exceptional experiences, and service excellence at the world-class integrated resort.

Galaxy Macau has been ranked among the Top 10 Integrated Resorts in Asia and the Pacific, a testament to its exceptional blend of luxury hospitality, world-class entertainment, and immersive experiences.

The world-class luxury resort’s iconic Grand Resort Deck—home to the world’s largest skytop surfable wave pool—has once again been named “Best Hotel Pool in Macau,” reaffirming its status as the region’s ultimate aquatic playground. Spanning an impressive 75,000 square metres, this one-of-a-kind rooftop oasis features an 8,000-square-metre wave pool generating swells of up to 1.5 metres, alongside a 150-metre pristine white sand beach, exhilarating water slides, and the world’s longest skytop adventure rapids.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – On June 16, the 2026 Hainan Cultural and Tourism Promotion Events, under the theme of “Sunny Hainan · Heart’s Desire,” were held in Hong Kong. Leaders from Hong Kong’s cultural and tourism authorities, heads of industry associations, and representatives of key cultural and tourism enterprises from home and abroad gathered to explore new opportunities for cooperation and draw up a blueprint for the industry’s future.

Liu Xiaoming, Governor of the People’s Government of Hainan Province, and Cheuk Wing-hing, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attended the events and delivered speeches. During the promotional session, Chen Tiejun, Director of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province, unveiled the “Top Ten Calling Cards of Hainan Tourism,” which received enthusiastic responses and positive feedback from various sectors in Hong Kong. Attendees from Hong Kong unanimously agreed that Hong Kong and Hainan boast highly complementary cultural and tourism resources and immense potential for cooperation.

Since the launch of special customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port, its distinctive opening-up advantages, such as “zero tariffs, low tax rates, a simplified tax system” and “tariff exemption for value-added processing,” have become increasingly prominent. These policies have continuously made Hainan more attractive to businesses and opened up broader opportunities for Hong Kong investors and entrepreneurs.

On the same day, at the “Invest in the Free Trade Port, Share New Opportunities” Symposium for Hong Kong Enterprises held in Hong Kong, four cooperation agreements were formally signed, covering high-end commerce, cultural and tourism integration, and regional industrial coordination. Hong Kong business representatives expressed strong interest in deepening their presence in Hainan.

Hainan and Hong Kong share a long history of cooperation, and in recent years, a steady stream of favorable policies has been introduced. Since the signing of the Hainan-Hong Kong Memorandum of Cooperation in March 2025, bilateral cooperation has accelerated across the board. In 2025, goods trade between the two sides reached RMB 9.35 billion, increasing by more than two times from 2020. A total of 793 new Hong Kong-funded enterprises were established in Hainan, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%. Hainan has also issued offshore RMB bonds in Hong Kong for four consecutive years, with a cumulative total of RMB 18 billion. Currently, an average of four direct flights operate daily between Hong Kong and Hainan, with the fastest travel time under two hours, facilitating the rapid emergence of the “Hainan-Hong Kong Living Circle.”

City’s first hospital to adopt Renewable Diesel Blend R33, reducing up to 30% lifecycle CO2e emissions

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Shell Hong Kong Limited (Shell) and St. Paul’s Hospital on Tuesday held the “Shell x St. Paul’s Hospital – Integrated Decarbonisation Solutions Kick-off Ceremony”, reinforcing their shared commitment to sustainable development. As one of the world’s largest suppliers of biofuels, Shell has been promoting renewable diesel as a practical, lower-carbon energy solution. St. Paul’s Hospital is the first hospital in Hong Kong to adopt Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹ for its boiler system. The switch required no modification to its existing equipment and offers up to 30%² less CO₂e emissions on a life cycle basis³ compared to EN 590 B0 diesel⁴. In addition, St. Paul’s Hospital installed Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging facilities in its parking lot and joined Shell’s CO₂ Compensation Programme as part of its low-carbon initiatives.

First hospital in Hong Kong: adopting renewable diesel for boiler systems

Shell is committed to “Power Progress Together” by working together with their customers and partners, to provide the energy products that people need to power their lives and businesses today, while helping to build the low-carbon energy system of the future. With Shell’s support, St. Paul’s Hospital has pioneered a healthcare first in Hong Kong to implement Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹ to power its boiler system.

Renewable diesel: enabling value chain decarbonisation for businesses

In response to St. Paul’s Hospital’s need for a stable low-carbon energy solution, Shell introduced Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹, which offers up to 30%² less CO₂e emissions on a life cycle basis³ compared to EN 590 B0 diesel⁴, helping the hospital reduce value chain emissions and meet its Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets.

Compatible with conventional diesel equipment

The launch of Shell Renewable Diesel marks a significant milestone in Shell’s support in the energy transition journey in Hong Kong. Mr. Dick Chan, General Manager of Shell Commercial Fuels – Hong Kong and Macau of Shell Hong Kong Limited, said: “We are honoured to witness St. Paul’s Hospital becoming a low-carbon promoter in Hong Kong’s healthcare sector, as the first to adopt Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹. This represents the shared commitment of both the energy sector and the healthcare sector to work together for a sustainable future.”

Businesses selecting sustainable low-carbon energy solutions often face challenges such as capital investment, equipment compatibility, and operational impact. Shell Renewable Diesel is fully compatible with conventional diesel boilers or engines and can serve as a direct replacement fuel without any modifications or adding new equipment⁵, helping businesses lower costs and emissions. It also reduces regulated air pollutants⁶, making it suitable for use across various industries including construction, transport and logistics, industrial operations, and healthcare.

Comprehensive technical support for a smooth transition

A hospital’s boiler system is essential to daily operations. It supplies hot water and steam for the central heating system, wards, operating theatres, laundry services, and sterilisation equipment. Any disruption to boiler operations would have a significant impact on the hospital functioning. For this reason, St. Paul’s Hospital places great importance on the stability of its fuel supply. Switching to Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹ required no modification to the hospital’s existing boiler system. To ensure a smooth transition, Shell provided professional technical support and conducted comprehensive inspections of the boiler system before the switch to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.

Mr. Gilbert Lee, General Manager of St. Paul’s Hospital, welcomed the collaboration. He said: “It is an undeniable fact that renewable energy has become a key direction of future energy transition, aligning with the global trend towards low carbon and environmental sustainability. Looking ahead, St. Paul’s Hospital will continue to collaborate with different sectors to promote more practical and effective low-carbon measures, contributing to a greener and healthier future for both the hospital and the wider community.”

Advancing low-carbon operations towards a sustainable future
In addition, St. Paul’s Hospital continues to advance low-carbon operations through its collaboration with Shell, taking a multi-pronged approach to building a low-carbon energy ecosystem. This includes the installation of two 50kW Shell Recharge fast-charging facilities in the hospital’s parking lot, providing visitors and staff with a more environmentally friendly and convenient energy option. At the same time, the hospital has adopted low-carbon fuel solutions and actively participated in Shell’s CO₂ Compensation Programme, supporting independently verified environmental, technology, and waste management projects. Through a simple and cost-efficient approach, these initiatives help compensate unavoidable carbon emissions from daily operations while promoting sustainable development in the communities where the projects are located.

Together, these initiatives not only enhance the hospital’s overall sustainability performance but also encourage the healthcare sector to explore low-carbon operational models, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future.

Shell will continue to work with St. Paul’s Hospital and other partners to promote practical low-carbon solutions, which fully support Hong Kong’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and create a sustainable environment for future generations.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this contentwe may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-zero emissions target

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

About Shell’s CO₂ Compensation Programme

Shell is one of the most established traders of carbon credits in the world. On the journey to reduce carbon emissions, Shell offers commercial customers carbon offset solutions that provide a simple and cost-effective way to offset hard-to-abate emissions. Shell automatically helps commercial customers calculate their carbon emissions and offsets them through carbon credits generated from various environmental, technology and waste management projects – such as initiatives related to protecting or re-developing natural ecosystems like forests, grasslands and wetlands, as well as investing in renewable energy and low-emission cooking appliances – to reduce concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

These projects include the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) project in Congo, the protection of peat swamp forests in Indonesia, and tropical forest protection projects in Acre, Brazil. Taking the Katingan Mentaya Wildlife and Conservation Project in Indonesia as an example, it protects approximately 150,000 hectares of intact peat swamp forest and five endangered species, generating an average of 7.45 million carbon credits each year (equivalent to offsetting 7.45 million tonnes of CO₂e) – an impact equivalent to removing 2 million cars from the road each year, making a significant contribution to global carbon reduction.
