New publication shows Hong Kong's development as a Knowledge-based Economy

Through graphical presentations and succinct commentaries, a publication aims at portraying the development of Hong Kong towards a knowledge-based economy (KBE) from different perspectives. 

The publication, entitled Hong Kong as a Knowledge-based Economy - A Statistical Perspective (2011 Edition), was released by the Census and Statistics Department. 

 An analytical framework encompassing a suite of statistical indicators grouped into the following four dimensions relating to KBE is adopted in this publication: Information and Communication Technology, Human Resources Development, Innovation System, and Business Environment.

The C&SD has recently conducted a review on the printing arrangement of statistical publications and has decided that the print version of Hong Kong as a Knowledge based Economy - A Statistical Perspective will no longer be produced starting from this edition.  Nevertheless, the publication is still available for downloading free of charge from the website of the C&SD (www.censtatd.gov.hk/products_and_services/products/publications/statistical_report/commerce_and_industry/index_cd_B1110009_dt_latest.jsp).
