This year, our Submission outlines a ten point plan for a brighter Hong Kong, highlighting 5 short-term issues and 5 medium-term issues on which we feel the current Administration should be focusing on as a matter of priority, as shown below.
Short-term
Increasing affordable housing supply and development
Assembling resources needed to deliver Government KPIs
Building momentum for businesses to enter and grow in the GBA
Cutting red tape around trade, investment, and talent
Promoting the Hong Kong brand
Medium-term
Reducing the housing and land deficit supply
Financing long-term growth
Facilitating Hong Kong's decarbonisation journey
Investing in the education sector and nurturing young talent
Enhancing the healthcare sector, with investments focused on prevention
As we move on from COVID-19, the next 2-3 years will be a critical period for Hong Kong and its vibrant business community. As a Chamber, we believe our community will add great value in facilitating the delivery of the Administration's solution-driven outcomes.
The Chamber extends its deepest appreciation to all members who contributed their time and expertise to help prepare the submission.
