The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Paul Chan, delivered the 2026-27 Budget on 25 February 2026. The overall economy grew by 3.5 percent last year, marking the third consecutive year of expansion.
Based on the assessment of the current global and local economic situations, Hong Kong’s economy is forecast to grow by 2.5 to 3.5 percent this year.
The Budget fuels the city’s growth through robust support for AI innovation and finance, alongside nurturing emerging industries, while proactively aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan to drive high-quality development. Measures also aim to unlock opportunities in the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone and Northern Metropolis (NM), as well as strengthen support for people and enterprises to build a more caring, inclusive, and liveable city.
To support these goals, InvestHK will continue to work closely with other government bureaux and departments, as well as industry partners, to attract a broader range of companies, capital, and talent to Hong Kong. We are actively supporting Chinese Mainland enterprises on their global expansion journey via Hong Kong and promoting the NM as a premier two-way investment platform for tech and other high-value industries.
