  • Monthly Report HK
    January 2011 in Hong Kong 31.1.2011 / No 85 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HK still ranked world's freest economy: HK remains the world’s freest economy for the 17th straight year and ranked 1st out of 41 countries – according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The city’s score remains unchanged from last year at 89.7 out of 100 in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, with small declines in the score for government spending and labour freedom offsetting improvements in fiscal freedom, monetary freedom, and freedom from corruption. The report said HK is one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centres, demonstrating a high degree of resilience during the global financial crisis. City casts off shadow of global financial crisis: HK's economy is rebounding from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with the public coffers enjoying the first eight-month surplus in three years. The latest announcement showed a far better financial picture than the government had forecast. In his budget speech in February, Financial Secretary John Tsang projected a net deficit of HK$25.2 billion for the current financial year. However, consensus estimates among most accounting firms now put the full financial year budget at a surplus of at least HK$60 billion. The reserves stood at HK$537 billion as of November 30, compared to HK$455.5 billion a year earlier. HK jobless rate falls to 4pc: HK's unemployment rate declined from 4.1 per cent in September to November last year to 4.0 per cent in October to December last year.

  • 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.

  • Communications, the Media and Information Technology
    350 Chapter 17 Communications, the Media and Information Technology Hong Kong people are among the most informed in the world, thanks to the city’s enterprising news media and telecommunications industry. There are currently close to 700 daily newspapers and periodicals published in Hong Kong. More than 86 per cent of households are broadband service subscribers, while mobile subscriber penetration is over 210 per cent. Hong Kong has one of the most successful telecommunications markets in the world. The market is fully liberalised and highly competitive, providing a wide range of innovative and advanced telecommunications services at reasonable prices to consumers and business users. It has a vibrant broadcasting industry offering a wide range of services to the community and is also one of the world’s major film production centres, while through its Digital 21 Strategy, the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau strives to establish Hong Kong as a leading digital economy. The Mass Media Hong Kong’s mass media at the end of 2011 included 50 daily newspapers (including a number of electronic newspapers), 651 periodicals, two domestic free television programme service licensees, three domestic pay television programme service licensees, 17 non-domestic television programme service licensees, one government funded public service broadcaster and four sound broadcasting licensees. The availability of the latest telecommunications technology and keen interest in Hong Kong’s affairs have attracted many international news agencies, newspapers with international readership and overseas broadcasting corporations to establish regional headquarters or representative offices here. The production of regional publications in Hong Kong underlines its importance as a financial, industrial, trading and communications centre.

  • Mental Health Conference “Building a Better Mental Health System Through Engagement” 11/1/2014, 9:30A.M
    Mental Health Conference “Building a better mental health system through engagement” 11/1/2014, 9:30a.m. – 4:30p.m. Hong Kong Mental Health Council Mental Health Council (HKMHC) is set up to pursue an integrated and harmony society by facilitating the government to develop a long-term and holistic mental health policy, with planning and coordination on man-power and resources to promote positive attitude of mental wellness. The council suggested the government to set up the Mental Health Commission to formulate, review and implement the mental health policy at Hong Kong, helping to enhance the mental wellness of Hong Kong citizens. In June 1982, a person with mental illness raided the pupils of a kindergarten at Un Chau Estate, resulting 6 deaths and 44 injuries. Over 30 years after the incident, similar incident hardly happened again, but incidents related to mental illness happened occasionally. Hong Kong citizens showed much concern on the situation of persons with mental illness as well as mental health services. The Disability Discrimination Ordinance came into effect in 1996 while the Mental Health Ordinance was amended in 1997. Apart from these 2 ordinances, there was neither a mental health policy nor a concrete policy objective for Hong Kong citizens. The rationale of Hong Kong’s mental health service was discovered to be left behind the western countries, in terms of driving, coordination and development of different mental health services under the absence of a comprehensive mental health policy, leading to the work of prevention, education, promotion and treatment half-done. In viewing of the problems, a group of stakeholders coming from different disciplines founded Hong Kong Mental Health Council, aiming at reviewing and driving the development of the Hong Kong’s mental health policy.

  • April 2013 in Hong Kong 30.4.2013 / No 112
    April 2013 in Hong Kong 30.4.2013 / No 112 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HKMA reveals new measures to boost drive for yuan business: The HK Monetary Authority announced new measures to boost the city's yuan business as the currency hit a record high. HKMA chief Norman Chan said the move would "deepen and enhance" HK's role as a clearing and trading centre for the yuan. From June, HK will introduce what Chan said will be the world's first offshore yuan interbank rate fixing. Each day, a group of the city's bankers will set the interest rates on interbank loans with tenures from overnight to 12 months. At present there is no benchmark rate for yuan loans and banks determine the rate for loans individually. Chan said the fixing would encourage banks to offer more yuan loans and other yuan interest rate products. Chan said the HKMA had also decided to relax two regulatory requirements. First, it will remove the yuan net open position limit. This regulatory tweak puts HK on a par with Taiwan, where there is no such limit. It also lifted the 25 per cent minimum liquidity ratio for yuan. After these changes, the requirements pertaining to the yuan would be the same as for any other non-local currency. HK's rich face exposure in tax-haven leak: More than two million documents naming many individuals and detailing their financial exploits have leaked from the British Virgin Islands to the US-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
