According to a report by the Hong Kong Economic Times on January 8, Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Chan Mao-po, said that currently the government is judging that Hong Kong's economy should advance steadily this year, and will announce specific growth estimates in the budget to be announced next month. He believes that the positive effects of Hong Kong's financial market will take time to spread to a wider range of industries. He said that retail and catering have stabilized recently, and there has even been slight growth. The industry needs transformation and innovation, and if there are expectations for policy assistance, they can also be raised. Chen Maobo expects that the Hong Kong initial public offering market is progressing steadily and is cautiously optimistic this year, and the amount of IPO capital raised is likely to surpass last year.
