Who were the biggest newsmakers in Hong Kong this year? A few hints: Controversy in the property market, a power struggle at Hong Kong's biggest bank and buzz around listings (and shortened lunches) at the stock exchange all helped determine the list of people in this edition of the Power List: Hong Kong.

The list comprises the 10 top business leaders in Hong Kong making headlines this year in global and regional media. It includes the top executives at Hong Kong's biggest listed companies, excluding those, such as heads of certain mainland Chinese companies, who don't normally reside in Hong Kong or run companies that are subsidiaries of other companies on the list. Dow Jones Insight compiles the data, which is then edited by Wall Street Journal staff.

今年，哪些人才是香港的头号新闻人物呢？给你点儿提示吧：地产市场上的争端、香港最大银行内部的权力之争、证券市场上乱作一团的上市活动（以及缩短的午休时间），所有这些事情都可以帮助我们确定今年香港风云人物榜单（Power List: Hong Kong）的合适人选。
