The Hong Kong government appears set to introduce its long-awaited competition law into the Legislative Council by mid-July 2010, according to newspaper reports. This follows previous indications by government representatives that the law would not surface in time to meet the previously announced schedule of introduction in the current 2009/2010 legislative session - the most recent of several delays since the government firmly committed to introducing such a law in 2007.

Hong Kong's Commerce & Economic Development Bureau (CEDB) has not formally confirmed the reports, however if they are correct then the most likely timeframe for passage of the bill will be after the Legislative Council resumes in October 2010 following the annual summer break.
