Notes: Figures refer to the first working day of June of the year.
The definitions of regional headquarters, regional office and local office were revised in 2006. Hence, figures from 2006 onwards may not be strictly comparable with those for earlier years.
Prior to 2005, figures refer to the country/territory where parent companies are incorporated. As from 2005, figures refer to the country/territory where parent companies are located.
In the case of a joint-ventured regional headquarters, regional office or local office in Hong Kong, there may be more than one country/territory of its parent company(ies).
