According to Odaily Planet Daily, Lee Ka-chiu said in an exclusive interview with Ta Kung Wen Wei Po All Media that the country has requirements for Hong Kong, which reflects that the central government recognizes that the special administrative region has advantages in areas such as finance, shipping and trade, and Hong Kong must make good use of them, carry forward them, and make them bigger and stronger.

Lee said the Hong Kong government has promoted the healthy development of the financial market in various ways. Taking the stock market as an example, the government set up a task force to promote stock market liquidity in August last year, and most of the 12 short-term measures mentioned in the task force to improve market competitiveness have been implemented so far.

The government is also actively seeking new economic growth points. Currently, virtual asset trading has been launched in Hong Kong. It is hoped that after tokenized trading and asset management, more trade applications can be promoted.
