Economic Outlook
78. Although Hong Kong's economy is expected to
maintain solid growth this year, we still have to be
alert to certain risks and variables such as oil prices,
US dollar exchange and interest rates, geopolitical
uncertainties, and whether the global and Asian
economies can maintain their anticipated steady growth
this year. In
the long term, we still have to face stiff competition
from neighbouring economies and as brought about by
rapid globalisation.
I hope that the foregoing measures, which aim at
consolidating economic development, promoting equity and
a sustainable society, can help reinforce our strengths
and competitiveness, thereby fostering our economic
growth.
