代理主席，今天我希望就整個粵港澳大灣區的發展提出意見。
Deputy President I would like to express my views todays on the development of the entire Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area
大灣區發展規劃是近年國家的重點發展計劃。
The Development Plan for the Bay Area is a key development plan of the country in recent years
環顧其他灣區發展，消除區內阻隔、促進交通、人才流通是必然大勢，但是大灣區內有3個不同的行政區，這也是其他國家的成熟灣區所不曾出現的。
If we look around at the development of other bay areas we can see that it is an inevitable trend to eliminate barriers and promote the flow of traffic and people in such areas . However there will be three different administrative regions in the Bay Area and this is an unprecedented arrangement in developed bay areas of other countries
三地政治文化大相逕庭，要打通人流、物流、資金流、信息流必然會導致信心危機，大灣區的互聯互通必然會導致這些制度的衝突，加速深港、粵港同城化。
Given that the political and cultural environments of the three places are very much different the facilitation of the free flow of people goods and capital will definitely result in a confidence crisis and the creation of cross - region interconnectivity in the Bay Area will surely bring about conflicts among various different systems as well as expedite the integration of Shenzhen and Hong KongGuangdong and Hong Kong
對於極力保護自身制度，不欲被內地同化的香港人而言，這可能會帶來莫大的隱憂。
This is perhaps a great hidden worry to those Hong Kong people who have endeavoured to protect our own system and who do not want to be assimilated by the Mainland
舉例而言，在不同建制派議員的倡議中，均有提到可就香港的居住問題，透過將市民遷徙到大灣區"一小時生活圈"中其他非核心區， 例如珠海，從而解決香港的房屋以至居住質素問題。
For example in nearly all proposals put forward by different Members from the pro - establishment camp references have been made to the possibility of resolving the housing problem and even the problem of declining quality of living environment in Hong Kong by relocating Hong Kong people to other non - core districts located in the one - hour living circle of the Bay Area such as Zhuhai
這些港人大遷徙必然會涉及內地一些基本政策的調整，例如港人在內地的醫療、教育、國民待遇等問題。
A massive relocation of Hong Kong people like this will certainly involve adjustments to some basic policies of the Mainland such as medical protection education services and Chinese national treatment granted to Hong Kong people on the Mainland
更加赤裸的便有如容海恩議員剛才所說，要發出大灣區通行證。
A suggestion was even made more frankly just now by Ms YUNG Hoi - yan to urge for the issuance of an exit - entry permit for travelling to and from the Bay Area
我不禁想大家的終極目標，究竟是要讓香港人擁有在大灣區的特權、優惠，還是香港人最後要與內地人互有交換，包括稅制上或生活制度上互有優惠呢？
I cannot help but wonder what our ultimate goals are . Are we simply asking for privileges and concessions for Hong Kong people in the Bay Area or ultimately an exchange of benefits between Hong Kong people and Mainland people including those in tax systems or other systems in daily life?
鼓勵香港人到大灣區發展，比較難聽的說法就是要將無法承擔香港高樓價的低端人口北移，騰出空間讓所謂的內地專才來港，屆時香港是否也要同樣開放一些"港民待遇"給他們呢？
To put it more bluntly the aim of encouraging Hong Kong people to work and live in the Bay Area is to relocate people in the low - end population who cannot afford high property prices in Hong Kong to the north thereby making way for the admission of professionals from the Mainland . By then should such incomers also be granted some treatments which are offered to Hong Kong citizens only?
長遠而言，隨着人員流動上的增長，香港的本地特色、風貌、文化又會否因而遭到沖淡、削弱，實現北京一直希望香港文化、價值能融入內地的大戰略？
In the long run with the increasing flow of people in the area will Hong Kongs local characteristics unique attributes and culture be compromised and diminished thereby realizing the long - existing hope of Beijing to achieve the objective of its major strategy of blending Hong Kongs culture and value into those of the Mainland?
同時，在增加兩地人員互相來往的前提下，開放關口安排、交通安排必然是大勢所趨。
At the same time under the premise of promoting the flow of personnel between the two places it will certainly be an inevitable trend to relax various immigration and customs arrangements and traffic arrangements
中國綜合開發研究院執行所長曹鐘雄曾經表示，"幾地幾檢都不是理想模式，應該簡化這種關稅、關口制度安排，探索一些更便捷的方式"。在融合發展的前提下，高鐵"一地兩檢"的爭議會否不斷在日後繼續浮現？我留意到林健鋒議員的原議案內有提到專業資格互認的問題，這也是大灣區面臨的一大挑戰。
CAO Zhongxiong the Executive Director of China Development Institute in Shenzhen has once said There is no ideal form of co - location arrangement and we should streamline the current customs and immigration arrangements in a bid to explore
容海恩議員，由於盧偉國議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Ms YUNG Hoi - yan as the amendment of Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok has been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經盧偉國議員修正的林健鋒議員議案。
President I move that Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok be further amended by my revised amendment
為何說大灣區是"9+2"呢？
Why?
代理主席，感謝林健鋒議員提出關於粵港澳大灣區的議案。
Deputy President I thank Mr Jeffrey LAM for proposing this motion on the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area
在2017年3月5日，國務院總理李克強的政府工作報告把粵港澳大灣區規劃列入未來國家的發展路向，粵港澳合作開始進入世界級灣區經濟共建時代。
In the report on the work of the Government issued on 5 March 2017 Premier LI Keqiang of the State Council listed the planning of the Bay Area as one of its future development directions . This marks the debut of the Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao entering an era of joint cooperation in building a world - class Bay Area economy
據統計，港澳及廣東省九市佔全國土地面積不足1%，人口數量不足全國總人口5%，但已經佔全國國民生產總值13%，是全國經濟舉足輕重的重要灣區。
According to statistics Hong Kong Macao and the nine cities in Guangdong Province together occupy less than 1 % of the land area of the country and less than 5 % of the countrys total population but they account for 13 % of Chinas Gross National Product . Together they form the important Bay Area that is indispensable to the national economy
有見及此，中央將會制訂符合國策、三地實際情況的合作方案及要求，灣區內的各政府部門一定會想方設法達致成果，增加資源把政策要求落實到具體工作上。
In view of this the Central Government formulates cooperative proposals and requirements that fit its national strategies and the actual situations of the three places; and governments in the Bay Area also strive to deliver results and use more resources to implement these national strategies and requirements into actual work
香港亦不例外，亦會因而獲益。
Hong Kong is no exception . We will also benefit from it
代理主席，粵港澳大灣區3個板塊雖屬不同的行政區域，但均以華人社會和嶺南文化為根源，大部分居民有共同的語言、生活習俗、文化和歷史，同根同源。
Deputy President although the Bay Area is made up of three places of different administrative regions but they are all made up of Chinese society with a Lingnan cultural origin . Most of the people speak a common language with the same living habits and customs culture and history . They are of the same root and origin
自國家改革開放以來，3個板塊之間往來日益緊密，經濟、文化、旅遊交流頻繁，有廣泛的合作基礎。
Since the opening up of our country the three places have increasingly frequent economic interactions cultural exchanges and contacts by travel . They already have an extensive cooperative foundation
廣東省特別是珠三角地區能夠站在改革開放的橋頭，創造了經濟高速增長的奇蹟，與港澳多年的成功合作是分不開的。
The reason Guangdong Province especially the Pearl River Delta can remain the bridgehead of the reform and opening - up of the country and create the miracle of high - speed economic growth is closely related to the years of successful cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao
在1970年代，香港製造業受惠於廣東省的改革開放和國家的優惠政策，向珠三角地區轉移，形成了以"前店後廠"為形式的垂直分 工。
In the 1970s benefited from the reform and opening - up of Guangdong Province and the preferential policy of the State our manufacturing industry relocated to the Pearl River Delta creating a vertical division of labour where the shop is at the front and the plant is at the back
2003年簽署的CEPA開創了內地與港澳在"一國兩制"方針下，加快服務貿易自由化、建立重大合作平台。
The CEPA signed in 2003 provided a framework for the Mainland Hong Kong and Macao to speed up the liberalization of the service trade and establish a major collaboration platform under the guiding principle of one country two systems
同年，中央開放港澳自由行，旅遊業及相關行業直接得益，對香港的經濟貢獻良多。
In the same year the Central Government launched the Individual Visit Scheme in Hong Kong and Macao
當中大灣區內九市對旅遊業貢獻更為明顯，它們市場規模大，訪客數量多，消費力強，發展前景廣闊。
These individual visits especially those from the nine cities in the Bay Area directly benefited our tourism and related industries and contributed enormously to the economy of Hong Kong . The nine cities represented a large market with strong spending power and great development potentials
多年來，大灣區無論出入境及本地接待的旅遊人數、收入均領先全國。
Over the years the Bay Area have recorded the highest number of inboundoutbound tourists and locally received tourists in the country
在2016年，11個城市整體接待海內外旅客人數已經超過4億人次，總體旅遊業收入接近1萬2,000億元人民幣。
In 2016 the 11 cities received over 400 million tourist arrivals from inside and outside the country and brought in a total tourism revenue of almost RMB1,200 billion
此外，3個板塊之間的交通四通八達、旅遊設施完善、治安良好，適合發展多元旅遊業。
Moreover the three places have good transportation linkage comprehensive tourist facilities and good public order which are suitable for developing diversified tourism
如果能夠充分利用"兩小時生活圈"，其旅遊魅力將可以進一步得到發揮。
If we can capitalize on this two - hour living circle we can further display the tourism charm of the Bay Area
但是，與此同時，3個板塊亦存在同樣的問題，就是過於依賴內地旅客，海外旅客比例偏低，過夜旅客數字亦偏低。
But the three places are facing the same problem which is their heavy reliance on Mainland tourists . Overseas tourists and overnight tourists are relatively small in proportion
以香港為例，去年海外旅客佔總入境人數少於25%，而過夜旅客亦少於50%。
Take Hong Kong as an example . Overseas tourists accounted for 25 % of the total inbound arrivals last year while overnight tourists accounted for less than 50 % of the total
剛才收到的一些數字顯示情況進一步擴大，現時入境人數、當天往返的比例更大，估計其他兩板塊的情況亦差不多。
The statistics I just received show the situation has further deteriorated . At present the ratio of same - day in - town visitors has increased further and we estimate that the situations of the other two places are more or less the same
所以，我在修正案中提出，建立大灣區海外市場旅遊推廣合作平台，目的是希望通過3個板塊的優勢互補，推動灣區內的居民多交流的同時，積極拓展海外旅客的入境市場。
Hence I propose in my amendment that a cooperation platform be set up to promote the Bay Area in overseas markets . The purpose is to encourage more communication among the people in the Bay Area and actively develop the inbound tour market of overseas visitors through synergy of the three places . Multi - destination travel is one option for exploration
當中可以研究通過以"一程多站"的形式，在政策、產品開發、廣告宣傳推廣上投入更多資源，以吸引更多海外客源，共同把大灣區建設為世界首屈一指的旅遊目的地，令三地共同得益。
The three places can inject more resources into the policy product development and advertising promotion to attract more overseas visitors and thus jointly develop the Bay Area into a world - class top destination for tourists and be benefited from it
因此，我有以下建議：第一，粵港澳三地可以考慮成立大灣區旅遊宣傳推廣基金，共同制訂未來有利旅遊業的策略。
Hence I have the following suggestions . First Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao can consider setting up a tourism promotion fund on the Bay Area to jointly formulate future tourism strategies
首先，由粵港澳三方旅遊機構共同建立旅遊推廣平台，根據各方的獨特優勢，聯合向海外不同市場、消費階層的客源地收集各項數據，進行市場分析，制訂對海外推廣宣傳的策略及目標，在不同階段進行有針對性的宣傳推廣活動。
To be begin with tourist organizations of the three places can jointly establish a tourism promotion platform to jointly collect according to their individual unique edges different data from different overseas markets and tourists of different spending strata for market analyses; and then formulate overseas marketing strategies and targets for launching at different stages specific marketing and promotion activities
其次，建立三方恆常的旅遊信息通報渠道，通過網站、社交媒體等平台，定期或不定期的向市場發放各產品供應商的優惠信息，向傳媒及時發布有用的資料，同時亦資助旅遊業界到海外進行宣傳促 銷、會議展覽及論壇等活動，為大灣區的發展向三地政府提供專業意見。
Besides the three places can set up constant notification channels to exchange tourism information; and make use of websites and social media to regularly or irregularly issue promotional information from product suppliers to the market and timely issue useful information to the mass media . The three places can also sponsor the tourism industry to conduct overseas advertising and promotional events and hold conventions exhibitions and forums so as to provide professional opinions to the governments of the three places
第二，在政策上研究如何統一海外旅客，尤其對參加"一程多站"的旅行團出入三地免簽證及關口優檢的安排。
Second explore how to standardize the policies on overseas visitors especially visa - free access and preferential immigration clearance for inbound or outbound visitors joining multi - destination tours to the three places
目前，海外以旅行團形式進入廣東省的旅客有144小時免簽證安排，香港及澳門仍未有，參加"一程多站"的海外旅行團在三地出入境關口安排上，亦沒有優檢通道。
At present overseas visitors entering Guangdong Province by tours enjoy a 144 - hour visa - free arrangement but this arrangement is yet to be extended to Hong Kong and Macao . Overseas visitors joining multi - destination tours do not have any special clearance channels at the immigration of the three places
如果遇到旅客出入境高峰期，會令到這些旅行團旅客的感受十分差。
This will leave a very bad impression on these visitors at times of cross - boundary peaks
所以，我建議三地應該對"一程多站"的旅行團採取統一免簽證政策，以及安排出入境優檢通道，提升國際旅客的通關體驗，令到"一程多站"旅遊更具優勢。
Hence I hold that the three places should universally give visa - free access to visitors joining multi - destination tours and arrange a special immigration channel for them so as to enhance the experience of these international tourists and give an extra edge to multi - destination travel
第三，提升旅客在香港的旅遊體驗。
Third enhance tourists travelling experience in Hong Kong
目前，香港的吸引力以傳統景點、購物、美食為主，但隨着資訊越來越發達，近年海內外旅客行程安排主要傾向自由行和深度體驗。
At present Hong Kongs major appeal is her traditional scenic spots shopping and cuisines . However with information becoming increasingly accessible visitors inside or outside the country preferred self - planned tours or in - depth travel as their travel itinerary in recent years
因此，綠色旅遊、特色旅遊逐漸成為趨勢，香港政府應該發掘有本地特色的旅遊項目，令旅客有不同體驗。
Hence green tourism or special tourism is getting popular . The Hong Kong Government should find out more tour items with local characteristics to enrich the experience of tourists
面對日新月異的高新科技，政府亦應該強化本地的旅遊配套設施，在智慧旅遊方面多下工夫，令本港在三地的旅遊發展中，凸顯我們在區內的優勢和獨特的一面。
In face of rapidly changing new technologies the Government should also strengthen our tourist supporting facilities and spend more effort in smart tourism so that Hong Kong can stand out among the three places with her edge and uniqueness in tourism development
代理主席，隨着多個跨境基建工程即將完工，香港在區內的交通優勢更明顯，西面有港珠澳大橋，東面有蓮塘/香園圍口岸，在廣深港高鐵通車之後，5小時覆蓋的省市將超過3億人口，為香港的旅遊業帶來無限機遇。
Deputy President with the near completion of several cross - boundary infrastructural projects the edge of Hong Kong in transportation of the region will be even more apparent . On her west there is the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge; and on her east there is the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point . After the commissioning of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Hong Kong will be able to reach provinces and cities of over 300 million people within five hours bringing numerous opportunities to her tourism industry
香港國際機場三跑系統在2024年建成之後，更能鞏固本港在區內的航空樞紐地位。
With the completion of the three - runway system at the Hong Kong International Airport in 2024 the role of Hong Kong as the aviation hub in the region will be further strengthened
上述基建有利強化香港在大灣區的角色，只要政府在旅遊發展做好規劃，能夠提供足夠的旅遊配套設施，真正方便市民和旅客，我相信大灣區的發展一定可以令香港的旅遊業得到益處。
The aforesaid infrastructures can strengthen Hong Kongs role in the Bay Area as long as the Government can do proper planning in tourism development and provide adequate tourist supporting facilities that are truly convenient to local residents and tourists . I believe the development of the Bay Area will bring benefits to the tourism industry of Hong Kong
姚思榮議員，由於盧偉國議員及容海恩議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Mr YIU Si - wing as the amendments of Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經盧偉國議員及容海恩議員修正的林健鋒議員議案。
President I move that Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，大灣區是一種既創新又複雜的概念。
President the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area is an innovative yet complex conception
最近，我與很多年輕朋友談到香港的未來發展方向，大家都同意大灣區是一個重點，但也只不過是青年人的其中一個選擇而已。
Recently I have talked with some young people about Hong Kongs directions of development in the future . We generally agree that the Bay Area is a major option but it should just be one of the many choices for young people
當然，我亦贊同廖長江議員剛才所說，我們須有廣闊的胸襟和視野，除大灣區外，香港的青年人亦有很多其他選擇，例如東盟的市場、亞洲的機遇，他們甚至可到世界各地闖蕩。
I naturally agree with Mr Martin LIAO that we must broaden our minds and horizons . Actually apart from the Bay Area our young people still have many choices such as the ASEAN market and other opportunities in Asia . They may even venture out to all parts of the world
大灣區這種創新而複雜的概念包含兩個中心思想及一個基點，兩個中心思想對於大灣區的發展尤為重要。
Innovative yet complex this Bay Area conception actually involves two central principles and one basic premise . The two central principles are of particular importance to the development of the Bay Area
第一個中心思想：大體而言，大灣區必須提供一個自由開放、容許公平競爭的市場，只要合乎監管的原則，卻不能將入場門檻定得過高。
The first central principle is that overall the Bay Area must provide a free and open market or a level playing field that only requires compliance with regulatory requirements . But the threshold of market entry must not be overly high
其實，大灣區內的城市當中，香港和澳門均屬全面開放、容許公平競爭的市場，這是我們的既定的政策，也是我們以往賴以成功的政策。
Actually if we look at all the cities in the Bay Area we will see that Hong Kong and Macao are the only ones that provide a completely free and open market or a level playing field . This is actually our established policy and also the very cornerstone of our success so far
事實上，在中國開放改革三十多四十年以來，也曾出現不少保稅區或自由貿易區，故"自由開放、容許公平競爭的市場"是必需的。
Therefore a free and open market or a level playing field is a must
因此，我們的法律制度、資訊自由、與國際商業運作模式接軌這些優勢在"一國兩制"及《基本法》的保護下，絕不能有任何偏差，亦絕不能動搖。
Such is our unique advantage . So we must not deviate from and waver over all those advantages of ours that are protected under one country two systems and the Basic Law―our legal system freedom of information flow and convergence with international business practices and so on
要是香港在實施《基本法》所承諾的"一國兩制"、"高度自治"及"港人治港"時有所偏差，我們的獨特優勢在大灣區便無用武之地了。
If there is any deviation from the principles of one country two systems a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong as enshrined in the Basic Law we will lose all our unique advantages in Bay Area development
就以法治為例，香港的法治並非只是依法治理一個城市或地方般的簡單，我們的法治精神包含"法律面前，人人平等"、司法機構獨立運作，並且凡事有法可依。
Let me use the rule of law as an example . The rule of law as practised in Hong Kong is much more than a simple enforcement of legislative provisions to govern a city or a place . In its true and full spirit our rule of law is also about equality before the law judicial independence and supremacy of the law in all matters
我發覺有不少同事均似乎傾向透過一些安排以為香港"攞着數"，但大灣區的概念，並非為香港或某一個城市"攤大手板""攞着數"。
I can actually observe a tendency among many Members to keep asking for certain arrangements that can benefit Hong Kong . But they must realize that this very conception of Bay Area development is simply not meant to allow Hong Kong or any particular city for that matter to ask for gains like a sponger
最近，廣東省稅務局在2018年4月24日發表一份正式的意見書，而這份意見書亦得到中央財政部的批准。
Not long ago on 24 April 2018 the Guangdong Local Taxation Bureau issued its formal position statement on its request . This statement is approved by the Ministry of Finance of the Central Government
它指出，這個"183天規定"，是一項國際標準，是經濟合作與發展組織及聯合國稅收協定範本，作為判定受僱人員臨時居住的時間界限，亦是全球多國稅務管轄區辨別其稅務居民的政策。
It points out that the 183 days of physical presence is actually a standard international requirement . Both the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development OECD and the United Nations adopt this as a model tax convention to define the length of temporary stay of an employed person . It is also a policy adopted by various taxation zones to define tax residence
香港是一個獨立的稅務區、獨立的關稅區，以及獨立的司法管轄區，我們不能夠因為要"攞着數"，便破壞這種獨特的獨立性。
As a separate taxation zone a separate customs territory and a separate jurisdiction Hong Kong cannot compromise its uniqueness and independence for the sake of getting gains
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經盧偉國議員、張華峰議員、容海恩議員......
President I move that Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Mr Christopher CHEUNG Ms YUNG Hoi - yan
進一步修正經盧偉國議員、容海恩議員、姚思榮議員及廖長江議員修正的林健鋒議員議案。
President I move that Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Mr Christopher CHEUNG Ms YUNG Hoi - yan
因此，我們希望當局能反映意見，可讓前往內地創業的港人有多一個選擇和機遇。
Thus we hope that the authorities can relay our view so that Hong Kong people wish to start their businesses in the Mainland can have one more choice and one more opportunity
第三點，我今次亦有隨同立法會考察團前往大灣區考察，其中很高興聽到一則好消息。
Third I also joined the recent fact - finding delegation of the Legislative Council to the Bay Area and I was very happy to hear a piece of good news during the visit
過去我們也曾向廣東省政府反映意見，希望能便利港人到內地工作，其中一點終於獲廣東省政府切實回應。
In the hope of facilitating Hong Kong peoples engagement in employment in the Mainland we actually presented a number of requests to the Guangdong Provincial Government in the past . The Guangdong Provincial Government finally gave a concrete response to one of these suggestions during our fact - finding visit
我亦看到，其實內地政府也希望盡量推出更多措施，以配合港人在大灣區生活、就業及創業。
As I can observe the Mainland Government also intends to introduce more measures to suit the needs of Hong Kong people wishing to live work and set up businesses in the Bay Area
我們留意到，整個東莞生產基地是一條強而有力的供應鏈，所有事情也可以一站式處理。
So this production base in Dongguan is basically a strong supply chain with one - stop handling for everything
原因很簡單，就是我剛才提到的一站式服務，由融資、產品設計以至生產的情況，連同在過程中出現問題也一併解決。
The simple reason for this is the one - stop handling I mentioned just now . There is one - stop handling for all matters including financing product design and manufacture and even all the snags in the process
這方面令我想到，如果香港要發展創科或科研，如果我們要成為生產基地，便要留意，我們與東莞的生產基地相比，顯然落後一大段路。
So if we want to promote IT and RD and turn Hong Kong into a production base we must bear in mind that we are actually way behind the production base in Dongguan
而這些研發項目若能進一步與內地條件結合，即我們研發了一個產品，可以再進一步在內地大灣區進行生產，我相信我們要在這種情況下才能有"走出去"的發展空間。
And if we can then integrate our RD projects with the services available in Mainland I mean we can manufacture the RD products we have developed in the Bay Area . I think this is the only way that can give our RD some room for going global
代理主席，粵港澳大灣區目前已經是中國實力最強、國際化程度最高、跨境聯繫最密切的區域之一，是國家改革開放的前沿和經濟增長的重要引擎。
Deputy President the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area has already become one of the regions in China with the greatest resources highest degree of internationalization and most frequent cross - boundary interactions . It is the frontier where the countrys reform and opening - up are located and the most important engine of the countrys economic growth
截至2017年年底，區內11個城市的GDP總和超過100,000億元人民幣，經濟總量已超過紐約灣區，排名全球第二，預計至2025年，大灣區的GDP總量有機會超過東京灣區，成為世界上經濟規模最大的灣區。
As at the end of 2017 the GDPs of the 11 cities in the Bay Area amounted to more than RMB10,000 billion and their total economic volume surpassed that of the New York Bay Area ranking themselves the second in the world . It is expected that by 2025 the total GDP of the Bay Area may surpass that of Tokyo Bay Area and become the bay area with the world largest economy
在粵港澳大灣區內，既有全球三大國際金融中心之一的香港，也有在全球金融中心最新排名中位列第二十位的深圳和位列第三十二位的廣州，世界上幾乎所有的金融活動也可在這裏找到。
Located in the Bay Area are Hong Kong which is one of the three international financial centres in the world and Shenzhen and Guangzhou which respectively rank 20 and 32 in the latest list of world financial centres . Almost all financial activities in the world can be found here . At present the financial sector of the Bay Area as a whole reaches an international scale
目前金融業總體的規模已經達到世界級水平，2017年年底，粵港澳三地銀行總 資產合計超過70,000億美元，銀行存款總額也達到47,000億美元，均超過紐約灣區和舊金山灣區；2017年保險保費收入有1,280億美元，相當於全國總保費收入的四分之一；港深主板市場總市值也超過55,000億美元，位居全球第四位。
As at end of 2017 the total bank assets in the three places exceeded US7,000 billion and bank savings totalled at US4,700 billion; both surpassed those in the New York Bay Area and San Francisco Bay Area . In 2017 insurance premium revenue generated in the Bay Area amounted to US128 billion which is equivalent to a quarter of the total insurance premium of the whole country . The main board market values of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange exceeded US5,500 billion which is the fourth highest in value in the world
以上種種，均為深化大灣區金融合作奠定了重要基礎。
All of the above have laid down an important foundation for deepening the financial cooperation in the Bay Area
