Speech by FS at Joint Business Community Luncheon
“The first theme of the Budget is diversifying our economy to create wealth for Hong Kong and to provide quality job opportunities and better choices of career development for our young people. The second theme is investing for the future, and the third one being caring and sharing. In terms of the role of the Government, the way we see it is that Government is not just a public-services provider, not just a regulator, but in the context of economic development we need to play the role of facilitator and promoter.” – FS talks about 2018-19 Budget at Joint Business Community Luncheon
