Chan Mo-po: The "15th Five-Year Plan" provides a clear direction for Hong Kong's future development

The Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated in his blog that the national "Two Sessions" are being held in Beijing, discussing the draft outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and its core content. He believes that the "14th Five-Year Plan" provides a clear direction for Hong Kong's future development, and Hong Kong will actively align with the "14th Five-Year Plan," fully support and carry out the formulation and implementation of Hong Kong's five-year plan, and promote high-quality development in Hong Kong.

He mentioned that Hong Kong has great potential during this golden strategic period of the "14th Five-Year Plan." Hong Kong is accelerating the construction of the Northern Metropolis, further promoting innovation and technology cooperation throughout the Greater Bay Area. In terms of finance, Hong Kong is committed to consolidating and enhancing its advantages as an international financial center. More importantly, under the premise of safety and controllability, it aims to empower various industries with a finance + approach, supporting the accelerated development and application transformation of innovative technologies, allowing finance to better support the real economy in unleashing its potential.

He noted that when preparing the recently published financial budget, the government also engaged in in-depth thinking about the development context and macro direction from the "13th Five-Year Plan" to the "14th Five-Year Plan." Therefore, it proposed AI+ and finance + as the main lines, and in response to the challenges brought by the AI+ wave, it will promote comprehensive AI training from multiple dimensions, collaborating with local universities and professional institutions to provide systematic AI skills training for working individuals of different ages and industries, ensuring that Hong Kong's workforce can adapt to and benefit from the future economic structural changes
