Despite Recovery, Hong Kong Economy Still To Face Challenges
Although Hong Kong's economy has been making an unprecedented recovery in the
last two years, new challenges will present themselves in future, according
to Financial Secretary Henry Tang. After chairing the first meeting of the Committee on Economic Co-operation
with the Mainland this week, Mr Tang told delegates that they must not lose
sight of either overall economic strategic aims or more detailed microeconomic
issues. "We all agreed we should study both the forest as well as the trees and
we must not look at trees and miss the forest, nor just study the forest and
completely miss any of the trees," stated Mr Tang. The Financial Secretary said that members reached consensus on strategic
issues that will be prioritised in the agenda, such as job creation, creative
industries, high value-added logistics and solidification of talent. "This is something we need to examine and form strategic directions on
how we can make Hong Kong a centre for talent in the whole region," he
observed. .
