2023 POLICY ADDRESS SUBMISSION

On Monday 31 July, the Chamber issued its annual Policy Address Submission for 2023, outlining its key priority policy recommendations for the Chief Executive and his administration.

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.
