Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui today said the business sector welcomes the streamlined anti-epidemic measures, adding that the Government will strive to keep Hong Kong open to international business.

Mr Hui made the remarks at this morning’s press conference held by Chief Executive Carrie Lam.

Mrs Lam announced earlier that some of the anti-epidemic measures would be streamlined, including lifting the flight ban on nine countries and shortening the hotel quarantine period for arrivals.

Mr Hui acknowledged the business sector's positive response to the streamlined measures and said its views would be taken into account as the Government charts the way forward.

“Based on our frequent interactions with the business and commercial sectors, they are very much welcome and well received.

“So on that basis, adhering to the overall principle in terms of our anti-epidemic efforts, we will continue to make sure that the comments made by the sectors, including the emphasis on connectivity, including the Mainland and the rest of the world, the comments made regarding the schooling and also other aspects of the people’s lives, will be taken care of as we chart the way forward.”

He emphasised that the Government will also strengthen the development of the business sector as well as nurture the talent pool.

“If you look at the places where people or companies try to locate their businesses, definitely, opportunities and talent are the keys.

“And on that count, based on what I have just introduced at the outset on the various measures we put forward to broaden the development scope of our (financial services) sector (and) at the same time to nurture our talent pool, I think all these efforts will continue and also continue to be strengthened in such a way that Hong Kong will continue to open to business to the rest of the world.”
