Good Morning. It's Tuesday on Morning Brew, and Burns Night too. That's the day when Scots all over the world celebrate the birth of their country's most famous poet by pouring whisky, without an 'e', all over a weird ball of entrails. If you've ever eaten haggis you'll appreciate why you need the whisky. Jarrod Watt will be with us after 10.30 with a little bit of Jock-stralian music, and of course, all the news from Down Under that's fit to broadcast. At 11.40 Dr. Merrin Pearse joins us, live from New Zealand. Today he'll be on Facebook Live with Kevin Hackwell, the Chief Conservation Advisor with Forest and Bird (NZ) to talk about New Zealand's bird of the year, which is, in fact... a bat. After 12, biz futurist Morris Miselowski will be with us from his evil lair in Melbourne. We'll be talking about the kind of 'futuristic' endeavour that might make your average Aussie say "Yeah... Nahhhhhhhh". The kind that, although exists, really should have spent a little more time on the drawing board.

On Tuesday's Backchat, we'll be looking at the business environment and investment opportunities in Hong Kong, with the release of a survey by Invest HK showing a growth in the number of foreign companies and startups despite the pandemic.

The results also come after data issued by the Census and Statistics Department last October, which showed the number of US and Japanese companies with regional headquarters in the SAR had fallen.

So what are the challenges and openings facing foreign and local businesses?  

After 9.15am, we'll be talking about calls from the business sector for the Financial Secretary to give out another round of consumption vouchers in his upcoming budget.
