SERVING AS A BRIDGE IN THE GREATER BAY AREA’S DEEPENED DEVELOPMENT
CGCC will dedicate itself to bringing the Mainland and Hong Kong business sectors together and plug into Chinese and overseas economic and trade networks. We will galvanize the local business sector into “enhancing Hong Kong’s integration with the Mainland and communication with the international world”, so that the city can perform its functional role as a “super connector” more effectively.
Hong Kong should respond to the new developments. While consolidating its pillar industries, Hong Kong also has to support the development of potential industries such as the innovation, technology, cultural and creative industries.
The new Committee will uphold the Chamber’s missions to serve the business community, participate in Hong Kong and the country’s economic construction, and contribute to the society. We will serve members wholeheartedly.
As long as our people put aside all their prejudices and shift their focus back to economic development and improvement of people’s livelihood to make more practical efforts for Hong Kong’s long-term economic and social development, Hong Kong will still have a promising future.
Hong Kong must get itself ready, be proactive in enhancing its competence in financial and professional services, seize the opportunities made available by the interconnectivity amongst the markets of the three places, further consolidate Hong Kong’s position as a financial center.
Hong Kong can perform its functions as an international financial centre and the largest offshore RMB business hub to provide comprehensive financial support for Sino-British economic and trade cooperation.
Direct participation may not be possible, businesses can draw on Hong Kong’s strengths as an international financial center to provide a wide range of investment and financing services for the infrastructure projects along the “One Belt and One Road”.
As the retirement protection system has a far-reaching impact on the overall development of Hong Kong’s society, the authorities must examine the affordability of the society, and strike a balance between improving the social security system and promoting sustainable economic development.
The labour policies should take into account business operations and sustainable overall economic development while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
As China deepens its development in all directions and actively constructs external connectivity, enormous business opportunities will be generated for Hong Kong, we must seize this rare opportunity.
We hope that the society will cherish our hard-won prosperity and stability and work together to bring our focus back onto economic development and improving people’s livelihood to regain Hong Kong’s positive energy and Lion Rock Spirit in order to open up more space for Hong Kong and our next generation’s development.
