Under British colonial rule, Hong Kong attracted Jewish merchants as early as the mid-nineteenth century, notably Baghdadis from Bombay and the Indian Ocean merchant diaspora, several of whose prominent families played a leading role in the region's commerce and finance. The community established a synagogue and institutions, and several of its members left their mark on the colony's economic and civic life. Over time, its composition broadened to include Ashkenazim and expatriates of various origins. Hong Kong today retains an organized community, combining permanent residents and expatriates.
