LCQ6: Measures to attract inward investment (written reply, 16 April 2025)

Reviewed. Everything in it that belongs in the tables has been taken.
What the document holds
LegCo reply, 16 April 2025, on inward investment and the New CIES: applications since March 2024 (1,092) and in March 2025 (174), net asset assessments approved (99), entry applications (65) by place of domicile, expected investment (more than HK$5.2 billion), no rejections (recorded earlier); the usual approval-in-principle assessment time (around three weeks) and no approvals-in-principle so far now recorded. Existing row o-17157f5c8a (applications_rejected = 0) re-checked: the words "no application has been rejected so far" state the zero unambiguously, so reading implied is correct. Parts (3)-(5) (cross-boundary remittances, anti-money laundering, family-office managers) are narrative with no programme figures; the HK$30 million minimum and 180-day visitor stay are programme rules.
