Abstract
Postal services throughout the world are undergoing a process of liberalisation and privatisation. Competition is getting tougher, as the traditional letter market is shrinking in the wake of a plethora of alternatives. In Hong Kong, the post office became a trading fund in 1995. This allowed for a more flexible management of the business as it became self-financing, although it remained a government office. Is the Hong Kong Post better prepared to face the new challenges and opportunities after its transformation into a trading fund or is it better off being a state-run office?
