Hong Kong Proposal Makes Director Identification Harder
This article is for subscribers only.
Hong Kong proposed amendments that would make tracing the personal details of company directors in the city more difficult, amid increased scrutiny of the wealth held by Hong Kong and Chinese officials and their families.
The proposal would obscure the residential addresses and full identification numbers of a company’s directors to the public from the first quarter next year, according to a document submitted to the Legislative Council. Individuals can also apply to have these personal details blocked on historical filings.
