Over 250 students and staff members attended the event during which students enthusiastically put questions to Mrs. Lam on infrastructure development, urban renewal and heritage conservation. In her speech, Mrs. Lam briefed the audience about the work of the Development Bureau. She also commended HKBU for its efforts in revitalising historical buildings, such as transforming the Lui Seng Chun building into a Chinese medical healthcare centre in order to preserve and use the building in the best interest of the community. During the dialogue session, Mrs. Lam said she enjoys talking with youngsters as they are full of creativity and the interaction is very inspiring. When students asked about the infrastructure development, she pointed out that as infrastructure is a key driving force of Hong Kong’s economy, the government will speed up the implementation of large-scale projects and enhance planning and delivery efficiency through better coordination. Yet the government is also aware of the rising public aspirations for spacious and cleaner environment, better quality of living and preservation of heritage.

  • Report Are Those of the Authors and Do Not Necessarily Represent the Opinions of Civic Exchange
    Hong Kong’s Budget: Challenges and Solutions for the Longer Term Tony Latter Leo Goodstadt Roger Nissim February 2009 www.civic-exchange.org Civic Exchange Room 701, Hoseinee House, 69 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: (852) 2893 0213 Fax: (852) 3105 9713 Civic Exchange is a non-profit organisation that helps to improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange. Preface The government’s budget is a political document. It provides financial resources for the achievement of government policies. Irrespective of high sounding commitments, the resources set aside for them indicate the degree of seriousness. How the government views what it will, and can, afford to fund is bound up with its philosophy on budgetary issues. Much of this philosophy has not changed for decades. What is particularly noteworthy is the lack of debate about the underlying assumptions behind the government’s philosophy. Even though there are contending views in society, as can be seen from the many criticisms of government policies and frequent acrimonious exchanges between officials and legislators, there has been little serious, sustained deliberation and debate about the policies and financing of long-term issues, such as those relating to demographic changes and the public services needed to meet them. This publication is Civic Exchange’s contribution to that much needed debate. We hope this will be useful to government officials, legislators, political parties, students and members of the public who have an interest in local affairs.

  • International Financial Centre
    International Financial Centre Hong Kong is a globally competitive international financial centre. The implementation of the Smart Banking initiatives has been in good progress to further develop Hong Kong as a fintech hub. Capitalising on opportunities arising from the opening up of the Mainland financial markets, much headway has been made to promote financial collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, especially in easing Hong Kong residents’ cross-border access to financial and banking services in the Area. At the same time, much effort has been made to open up new opportunities to further strengthen the competitiveness of Hong Kong’s financial platform, including infrastructure investment and financing, green finance and private equity funds. The Hong Kong Academy of Finance was set up to enhance Hong Kong’s soft power in a sustainable manner. In the central banking and regulatory community, the HKMA plays a leadership role in a number of regional and international committees, which is a clear recognition of Hong Kong’s expertise and commitment to international work.
