The Honourable Paul MP Chan, GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered his 2023-2024 Budget Speech to the Legislative Council on 22 February 2023.

Every year, the Hong Kong business community hosted a luncheon for hundreds of executives to hear the Financial Secretary elaborate on the details of his latest Budget.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation, we were not able to accommodate all guests to attend in-person this year. However, we deeply honoured that the Financial Secretary had accepted our invitation to speak to the Hong Kong business community online on 16 March. Attendees were able to hear Mr Chan discuss the Government's plans to steer its fiscal policy and enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness. Not least, he also discussed measures to help Hong Kong businesses rebuild and recovered as the pandemic recedes and Hong Kong reopens to the world.
