The opening speech was given by Mr. Tsang Chun Wah, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR. Mr. Tsang said that China has maintained a very rapid pace of economic development over the last 3 decades. Throughout the years of the mainland’s reform and liberalization, Hong Kong has not only been the mainland’s biggest source of investment, but has also assumed the important roles of intermediary and facilitator of economic exchanges between the mainland and the rest of the world. With the mainland’s economic upgrade reaching a new milestone, cross-border economic integration will be elevated to a new level.
The forum’s four speakers exchanging ideas on how best to drive China’s economic transformation.
In light of the policy pronouncements of the Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the forum turned its attention to the new directions for China’s economic reform. This year’s theme was “unleashing new momentum for economic transformation”. The four speakers on stage took part in an engaging, animated debate on the topic of entrepreneurial priorities in times of economic transformation, including R&D capability, brand value, profit margin, cost control and human resources development, with many members of the audience contributing their own input and viewpoints.
