Serving Hong Kong as a team

A gist of the blog:

I am deeply honoured to be nominated by the Chief Executive-elect, and appointed by the Central People's Government as Financial Secretary. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Hong Kong.

In the coming five years, I shall do my utmost to achieve three major targets. The first is to proactively develop the economy and improve people's livelihood. I will work together with my colleagues in the Government to maintain the financial stability of Hong Kong, enhance our business environment, promote further development of our pillar industries, and facilitate the development of the innovation and technology sector and other new industries that we have competitive advantages, with a view to nurturing the development of a more diversified economy. In this way, people from different segments of the society will be able to share the benefits of economic growth, and there will also be more quality jobs for our young generation.

Second, we will continue to invest in infrastructure and increase land supply, making Hong Kong an even more liveable and competitive city. Third, I will strive to preserve our healthy public finance, and make good use of our resources in a timely manner to support various initiatives to cater for the needs of the community, and to build a just, caring and inclusive society.
