Trade Minister Steve Ciobo says Australian services industries in particular would benefit from a proposed free trade agreement with Hong Kong. An FTA with Hong Kong is expected to focus on services industries such as finance and education. Ciobo notes that Asia’s middle-class is forecast to increase from 600 million people to three billion by 2035. Two-way trade in goods and services between Australia and Hong Kong totalled $A15.3bn in 2015-16.
