2025 Policy Address supports continued growth

Hong Kong, 17th September: Earlier this week, Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive, John Lee, delivered the 2025 Policy Address, outlining initiatives, including deepening international exchange and cooperation and supporting mainland enterprises in overseas expansion, which injects strong momentum into Hong Kong’s continued growth.

According to the 2025 Policy Address, the government will establish the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global to setting up the Economic and Trade Express, from injecting HK$1.42 billion (US$183 million) into the BUD Fund to supporting the HKTDC’s E-Commerce Express and Hong Kong Shopping Festival. The GoGlobal Task Force will also be launched to be steered by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, the Economic and Trade Express jointly formed by Economic and Trade Offices as well as overseas offices of InvestHK and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC, was quoted, “Amid significant changes in international trade and supply chains, the HKTDC will leverage its network of 51 offices in mainland and overseas as well as years of experience in business matching through conferences and exhibitions. We will actively support the initiatives proposed in the Policy Address and work closely with relevant departments to capitalise on Hong Kong’s unique advantages as a connector linking Mainland China and the world.”
