Chief Executive John Lee announced on Saturday that Hong Kong's inaugural five-year plan will not undergo revisions, even if it fails to meet set performance indicators. He assured that the Policy Address will need to explain the reasons behind any shortcomings. During an interview, Lee elaborated on the creation of 105 indicators for the Special Administrative Region (SAR), drawing parallels with the nation's five-year plans.
He emphasized the importance of achieving all indicators, which cover economic, social, and governance aspects, through the annual policy blueprint. Lee highlighted a potential challenge: global supply chain disruptions could impact the city's economic growth target, mirroring a scenario where the government would address the issue in the relevant Policy Address.
The SAR leader stressed that a comprehensive explanation is necessary when unforeseen events occur. Additionally, Lee highlighted plans to improve the 1823 service hotline, potentially using artificial intelligence to streamline the process and enhance customer satisfaction, currently at 4.6 out of 5 points. The deputy chief secretary will intervene in cases of coordination issues to ensure proper responsibility allocation, as Lee believes the majority of subdivided unit operators operate legally, with the registration rate currently standing at 65 percent.
