Guiding Question for the Senior Division of the Grand Final of the contest:

The 2016 Index of Economic Freedom once again ranked Hong Kong as the world’s freest economy for the 22nd year, based on the measurement of ten components, including business, trade and financial freedom. However, the authors of the Index expressed their concern about one factor, and that was freedom from corruption, citing that Hong Kong’s score on a scale of zero to 100 has declined from 84 to 74 over the past four years. While this is still well above the global average, do you think this is a cause of concern?

Do you believe that Hong Kong is turning a blind eye to corruption by becoming complacent and how would you ensure that the city’s anti-corruption efforts continue to be some of the best in the world?
