Citations for the Honorary Doctorates in 2018
Citation for Professor Edward Chen Kwan-yiu Doctor of Education, honoris causa Mr Chairman, It is my honour to present Professor Edward Chen Kwan-yiu for the award of the degree of Doctor of Education, honoris causa. A well-loved university educator and administrator, Professor Chen has enjoyed an illustrious career in teaching and is widely credited as a pioneer in adopting the liberal arts model in Hong Kong and with leading Lingnan College’s smooth transition to university status. Aside from the education sector, he has helped drive social progress and advance Hong Kong’s economy through various capacities in decision-making bodies of the government including the Executive Council. Internationally, he is an esteemed economist who has generously contributed his valuable expertise to academia and multilateral organisations. Born to a grass-roots family, he was raised by a single parent since the age of 12. Aware that education is a vehicle for social mobility, he channelled his energies into his schooling and education. Through dedication and hard work, he gained admission to the elite schools, Queen’s College for secondary education, and later to The University of Hong Kong (HKU) where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Later, Professor Chen earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at Oxford University. It was there that he demonstrated his extraordinary foresight and intellectual acuity through his thesis which correctly predicted and explained the spectacular growth of the four Asian Dragons. Since then, his scholarly interest has focused on Asian economic development, in particular the positive effect of foreign investment and technological change.

Fax: 01603 723000 or e-mail: [email protected] FOREWORD This is the twentieth in a series of reports to Parliament on the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong. It covers the period from 1 July to 31 December 2006. In the last report to Parliament, I described Hong Kong’s recent economic growth as remarkable. That growth has continued this period, with the economy outperforming most forecasters’ expectations, unemployment falling to a six-year low, and business sentiment very positive about Hong Kong’s economic future. The reporting period has seen significant developments in Hong Kong’s increasing economic integration with Mainland China. Not least in October, when the Mainland’s largest bank listed its shares simultaneously in Hong Kong and Shanghai in the world’s biggest-ever initial public offering. The announcement, shortly before the time of writing, that mainland financial institutions will soon be permitted to issue Renminbi (RMB) financial bonds in Hong Kong is a further significant step.
