The public consultation exercise for the 2025-26 Budget has started, the Government announced today.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan stressed that Hong Kong must manage public finances more prudently in light of a continuously uncertain external environment, a complex and changing global political and economic landscape, and the structural adjustments taking place in the local economy.
He also pointed out that it is equally important to drive the city’s economic development forward.
“At the present stage, both development and stability are central to our progress.”
Encouraging citizens to share their views on the new Budget, the Financial Secretary said: “As we work together, Hong Kong will reinforce its strengths and achievements, and accelerate advancement towards better goals amid challenging external conditions and evolving socio-economic circumstances.”
