"As the GBA's super-connector, Hong Kong is best suited to be the gateway city to promote cross-border transactions and cooperation between China and the rest of the World," said Mr Clement Lau FRICS, Chair of RICS Hong Kong Board. "RICS' role in the GBA is to support Hong Kong in realising its potential in the Bay Area - for the benefit of our economy and that of the entire region".
