Senior business reporter Enoch Yiu scooped the top prize of “Business Reporter of the Year”. Yiu bagged the award for providing insights and in-depth analysis for three of her articles – a comparison of the economic damage caused by 122 days of Sars and social unrest; a behind the scenes story of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing's failed bid to take over the London Stock Exchange; and why Shenzhen will not be able to replace Hong Kong as a financial centre.

Deputy business editor Peggy Sito and Shanghai bureau chief Daniel Ren jointly won the silver prize in the “Best Business Technology News Reporting” category for their story on Chinese start-ups’ use of AI to maximise profits from the shortage of parking spaces in the world’s biggest car market.
