International Hub
32. Hong Kong boasts unparalleled access across Asia, and unrivalled connections both to international markets and to the China market. With a complementary mix of talented people and efficient infrastructure, well-developed international and domestic transport networks, quality business support services and financial infrastructure of the highest world standards, Hong Kong will continue to thrive as an international hub, a focal point for multinational enterprises.
33. To stay highly efficient and become even more competitive, we must put in place a comprehensive strategy, not only for improving the efficiency in the flow of people, goods, capital and information, but also for enhancing the quality of our living environment and our position as an international hub. Among other things, this tops the future agenda of Government. Our financial commitment in capital works has reached a high of $340 billion. This has yet to include our investments in mega projects, such as a new airport runway, new development areas, and reclamations. These projects will help boost Hong Kong's efficiency and economic strength, improve the living conditions, and build an ideal city for the future.
