The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau is a policy bureau of the Government of Hong Kong responsible for policy matters on Hong Kong's external commercial relations, inward investment promotion, intellectual property protection, industry and business support, tourism, consumer protection and competition, as well as broadcasting, film-related issues, overall view of creative industries, development of telecommunications, and control of obscene and indecent articles in Hong Kong.[1]
The bureau is headed by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, currently Edward Yau. It is divided into the Commerce, Industry and Tourism Branch and the Communications and Creative Industry Branch, each headed by a Permanent Secretary.
In January 2021, the department, under Edward Yau, said that a policy to require SIM card registration, where users of SIM cards would need to link their IDs, was necessary.[2] In May 2023, after the policy was implemented, the government revealed that phone scams increased by 76% from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023.[3] In May 2023, Cheung Wun-yiu filed a judicial appeal against the SIM card registration policy.[4]
