Hong Kong’s next policy address is just around the corner. Here’s what to expect

Hong Kong's incoming leader, John Lee Ka-chiu, is expected to deliver a policy address on Wednesday that will focus on removing obstacles for businesses and boosting innovation in the Northern Metropolis. The address is anticipated to be around three hours long, with equal time dedicated to the city's first five-year plan and the policy address itself.

Key highlights include deregulation measures, streamlined development procedures, and support for innovation hubs, research efforts, and tech applications. The five-year plan is expected to include aspirational and binding key performance indicators and goals, covering concrete targets for both the current and future administrations.
