HKT (SEHK:6823) – HONG KONG, April 6, 2022 – The economy of Hong Kong has been hardly hit by the COVID-19 epidemic.

As a long-standing partner of SMEs, HKT has provided them with more than 50 digital solutions to meet their business needs. Today, HKT launched a series of complimentary relief measures totaling $32 million, with no service charges for SMEs for designated time periods, to support their efforts to quickly recover and capture business opportunities once the economy resumes its upturn.
