Borrison/hk-legicost huggingface dataset:
人民幣RTGS清算額為15萬1,600億元，同比下降25.3%。
The RMB real - time gross settlement amounted to 15.16 trillion a year - on - year decline of 25.3 %
根據SWIFT數據顯示，2016年人民幣國際支付額下跌了29.5%。
According to the data of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication SWIFT the value of international RMB payments in 2016 fell by 29.5 % when compared with 2015
一直以來，香港作為全球最大的離岸人民幣市場，其實發揮了不可替代的作用，為境外投資進入中國市場提供了新管道，亦強化了香港在內地金融開放和發展中的作用。
The status as the biggest off - shore RMB market in the world has along enabled Hong Kong to perform the irreplaceable role of providing a new channel for the entry of off - shore investments into the China market and to enhance our role in the liberalization and development of the Mainland financial markets
但是，因為人民幣匯改，內地調整了跨境人民幣政策，部分措施對人民幣資金流出實施限制，致使企業財資業務及香港離岸人民幣業務有所回落。
Nevertheless in view of the reform of the RMB exchange rate regime the Mainland has adjusted its cross - border RMB policies . Some of the measures limit the outflow of RMB capitals and this has caused a drop in corporate treasury services and Hong Kongs off - shore RMB business
然而，事實上，人民幣已於去年10月正式加入成為國際貨幣基金組織特別提款權的貨幣籃子，人民幣的功能將會從國際支付貨幣、外匯交易貨幣變成為國際的儲備貨幣，估計未來3年人民幣的資產佔全球官方外匯儲備，將由去年的1.8%升至未來的4%至5%左右，金額可高達3,300億美元。
In fact following the International Monetary Funds inclusion of RMB in its Special Drawing Rights currency basket in October last year RMB will change in function evolving from an international payment currency and a currency for foreign exchange trading and settlement to an international reserve currency . It is estimated that the proportion of RMB assets in global official foreign currency reserves will increase from 1.8 % last year to 4 % or 5 % in the coming three years amounting to US330 billion
內地會繼續推進資本項目開放及人民幣國際 化，這些都為香港金融業提供機會及發展空間。
The Mainland will continue to promote the opening up of capital accounts and the internationalization of RMB and all these will provide opportunities and room for development for Hong Kongs financial industry
所以，我希望政府積極推廣，不論是否由施政報告所提到的金發局或是由香港貿易發展局進行，也要促進多方合作，使香港成為全球央行及主權基金的人民幣業務交易中心，包括人民幣儲備資產管理中心及人民幣債券交易中心。
Therefore I hope the Government will take active steps to promote the work in this area . Regardless of which organization is to take up the task―FSDC as discussed in the Policy Address or the Hong Kong Trade Development Council―efforts must be made to promote the cooperation of all sides so as to turn Hong Kong into an RMB trading centre for central banks and sovereign funds all over the world in their business of RMB reserves and assets management and RMB bond trading
第三個機遇，就是香港與內地金融產品互通的機遇。
The third opportunity is mutual market access for Hong Kong and Mainland financial products
中國債券市場中，境外投資者在本國債券市場的比例與其他西方國家比較明顯偏低，可以說仍有大幅提升空間。
The proportion of foreign investors in Chinas local bond market is obviously very low when compared with the western world . It can be said that there is still room for improvement
談到內地與香港金融產品的互通，政府在"滬港通"、"深港通"之後，應加快促成更多的金融產品互通。
As to the mutual market access for Mainland and Hong Kong financial products after the implementation of the Shanghai - Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect the Government should speed up mutual market access for more financial products
前天陳家強局長在一項活動中提及，我們很快會有交易所買賣基金通，我認為其他的產品互通，例如債券通，商品通等亦要盡快落實。
Few days ago Secretary Prof K C CHAN mentioned on an occasion that ETF Connect for exchange traded funds will be put in place very soon . I think mutual market access for other products such as for bonds and funds should be implemented as soon as possible
關於金發局曾經提出建議的"債券通"問題，包括場內市場互通和場外市場互通兩個層面。
As to FSDCs proposal on the Mainland - Hong Kong Bond Market Connect it allows mutual market access for both over - the - counter bond market and exchange - traded bond market
但是，後者的適用範圍只限於零售投資者，未能夠滿足機構投資者的需求。
But the latter is only limited to retail investors which is insufficient to meet the needs of institutional investors
政府應該循為境外投資者提供結算代理服務等不同的方向，去落實香港的聯繫人角色。
The Government should fulfil its role as a connector by providing clearing agency services and so on for off - shore investors
第四個機遇，就是透過深化基金互認提升香港資產管理地位的機遇。
The fourth opportunity arises from the intensification of the mutual recognition of funds MRF which can enhance the position of Hong Kong as an asset management centre
根據兩地互認基金的規定，基金必須在香港註冊才可以申請成為互認安排下的基金，這鼓勵了基金經理以香港作為其基金註冊地，吸引全球資產管理公司在香港拓展業務。
Under the MRF arrangement between the Mainland and Hong Kong only qualified public funds registered in Hong Kong can apply for recognition in Mainland China . The arrangement has encouraged fund managers to make Hong Kong the fund domicile and to attract global assets management companies to develop business in Hong Kong
去年12月香港再成功與瑞士市場互聯互通，香港的基金產品可以引進瑞士的投資者，反映了瑞士監管機構認可香港擁有嚴謹及有效的基金監管制度，並且成為全亞洲基金中，唯一被歐洲市場認可的基金。
In December 2016 Hong Kong and the Switzerland concluded a MRF scheme which allowed Hong Kong public funds to be introduced to Swiss investors . The recognition by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority is a testament to Hong Kongs stringent and effective fund management regime . Besides of all Asian funds only Hong Kong funds are recognized by a European market
據我了解，現時亞太區有3個構思，當中的"基金護照"機制或會落實。
As far as I know there are three conceptions in the Asia - Pacific Region now and of them the Asia Region Funds Passport may be implemented
香港目前已經擁有內地及瑞士市場互通的優勢，我期望政府能夠爭取香港在亞太區"基金護照"這一個角色裏面扮演更主導的地位。
Now that Hong Kong possesses the edge of having connection with the Mainland and Switzerland I hope the Government can strive for a bigger leadership role for Hong Kong in the Asia Region Funds Passport initiative
第五個機遇，就是爭取獲得亞投行更重要角色的機遇。
The fifth opportunity is the opportunity of seeking to play a more important role in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank AIIB
如施政報告所說，香港即將成為亞投行的成員。
As stated in the Policy Address Hong Kong will become a member of AIIB
但是，我們的目標不應只限於爭取亞投行在香港設立辦公室，也不應僅限於陳家強局長早前所表示，爭取亞投行的財資管理中心落戶香港。
Nevertheless our goal should not be limited to the setting up of an AIIB office in Hong Kong . It should not be limited too to the establishment of the Treasury Management Centre of AIIB as advocated by Secretary Prof K C CHAN earlier
亞投行成立後，會專注於發展中國家的基礎建設投資這一方面，例如水電設施、鐵路、電訊業等。
Once AIIB is founded it will focus on the infrastructure investment of developing countries such as power and water supply facilities railways telecommunications and so on
亞投行成員國把貸款借給發展中國家蓋建基礎設施的同時，他們亦會趁機會由本國企業和專家參與這些國家的建設計劃，藉着政府貸款、企業承包的方式全面參與。
AIIB members who extend loans to developing countries for infrastructure construction will also grasp the opportunity to let their own enterprises and experts participate in the construction projects of these countries . Through government loans and corporation contractorship AIIB members will participate extensively
由於參與發展中國家項目的商機相當豐厚，政府應該積極爭取與本地投資者一起參與亞投行項目，包括貸款及其相關的開發建設。
As many business opportunities will arise from participation in developing country projects the Government should actively joins hands with local investors to strive for participation in AIIB projects including the provision of loans and various projects of development and construction
第三方面，我想說一說持續改進本港金融基建方面。
The third thing I wish to discuss is the continuous improvement of Hong Kongs financial infrastructure
第一個金融基建方面的是，平衡符合國際監管與市場發展之間的關係。
The first thing about the financial infrastructure is to strike a balance between the compliance with international regulatory standards and market development
近年隨着國際打擊洗黑錢及恐怖分子籌集資金的標準不斷收緊，銀行必須按照嚴格的要求進行客戶盡職審查。
With the continuous tightening of international standards on anti - money laundering and counter - terrorist financing banks must conduct very stringent due diligence checks on their customers
但是，這樣便招致本地及外資企業、新公司，甚至個人都紛紛投訴銀行開戶難，有損香港的營商便利形象。
As a result local and foreign enterprises new companies and even individuals have been complaining about the difficulty in opening a bank account . This has undermined Hong Kongs reputation of facilitating business operation
這一方面可以符合國際監管標準，又達到普惠金融的目的。
In this way it will be possible to meet international regulatory standards on the one hand and to benefit the financial industry on the other
第二個金融基建方面，就是推動金融科技的跨越式發展。
The second point about the financial infrastructure is the promotion of exponential Fintech progress
所謂"學如逆水行舟，不進則退"。
As the saying goes a boat moving upstream must keep forging ahead or it will be driven back
第19期《全球金融中心指數》把香港列為全球四大金融中心之一，與倫敦、紐約和新加坡齊名。
The Global Financial Centres Index 19 rates Hong Kong as one the four global financial centres among the ranks of London New York and Singapore
總部設於華盛頓的美國傳統基金會及加拿大的菲沙研究所，更連續22年把香港評為全球最自由的經濟體。
Both the Heritage Foundation of the United States with its headquarters in Washington and the Fraser Institute a Canadian think tank have rated Hong Kong the freest economy in the world for 22 consecutive years
但是，近年香港與新加坡的競爭相當激烈，特別是在金融科技發展方面，新加坡提供各種稅務及營商便利配套，以吸引跨國科技公司落戶。
However the competition between Hong Kong and Singapore has become rather ferocious in recent years particularly in Fintech development . Singapore has been providing all sorts of complementary measures in taxation in order to facilitate business operation and induce multinational companies to set up business headquarters in Singapore
香港過往是"龜兔賽跑"裏的白兔，現在卻變成慢3拍的小龜，雖然比賽未完結，我們未知勝負，但大家應該要有危機意識才能夠繼續保持香港的優勢。
In the past Hong Kong was the hare in race between the hare and the tortoise . Now it has become the tortoise moving at a snails pace . Although the race is not yet over and we do not know the result we should have a sense of crisis in order to maintain the competitive edge of Hong Kong
我希望政府不要因為近期我們的金融科技發展略有成績便感到自滿，因為我們某些範疇的金融科技水平仍然偏低，我們要急起直追，趕上金融科技高速發展的列車。
I hope the Government will not feel complacent with the recent small achievement in Fintech so far as the levels of our Fintech in certain areas are still quite low . We must rise and catch up in order to join the bandwagon of rapid Fintech development
要進一步推動香港金融科技的發展，政府應該考慮採取循序漸進方式，逐步放寬監管的政策。
In order to further promote Fintech development in Hong Kong the Government should adopt an incremental approach of gradually relaxing the regulatory policy
剛才很多同事都提到金管局推出的金融科技監管沙盒，我認為這是好的開端，能夠鼓勵及推動本地銀行業加快創新，這應該繼續加快進行。
Just now many colleagues have mentioned Hong Kong Monetary Authoritys Fintech Supervisory Sandbox I think it is a good start . This initiative can encourage and induce local banks to speed up their innovations so it should speeded up
其次是鼓勵跨業界合作，因為近年創投企業與金融機構合作的趨勢正慢慢形成，創投企業有的是創新意念。
Another thing is to encourage cross - sector cooperation . In recent years the trend of cooperation between venture capital enterprises and financial institutions has gradually taken shape
但是，如果他們沒有應用場境的配合，則只能夠停留在科研階段，而創新科技本身的應用亦非金融機構的本業及強項。
VC enterprises have innovations but if there is no setting for them to apply their innovation they will only be confined to technological research . On the other hand the application of innovative technology is not the strength of financial institutions
所以，如果將兩者有效結合，將創新意念實際應用在金融市場的產品或服務上，便能夠形成共贏。
For that reason a win - win situation will be achieved if the two sectors are effectively combined and innovative ideas are applied to the products or services in the financial market
第三個金融基建方面，我希望政府能夠大力吸引金融專業人才。
The third thing about the financial infrastructure is that the Government should make strong efforts to attract financial professionals
要不斷發展我們的金融產業，人才是十分重要。
Talents are of utmost importance in sustaining the development of our financial industry . Here I must mention the President of the United States Donald TRUMP
我在此不得不提及美國總統特朗普，日前他頒發了移民禁令，限制7個伊斯蘭國家的人士入境，這項頒令一出，將會令有科技搖籃之稱的三藩市矽谷受到直接的影響，因為根據資料研究顯示，矽谷的電腦和數學人才、45歲以下的人士，有四分之三其實並非生於美國。
Several days ago he issued a travel ban on citizens from seven Islamic countries . The ban will directly impact the Silicon Valley the cradle of technology in San Francisco . It is because according to research data three quarters of all computer and mathematic professionals in the Silicon Valley aged under 45 are not born in the United States
同樣，香港的金融業也需要來自不同地區的專業人才協助共同發展，因此政府應該制訂更多引才聚賢的方案，為香港的金融業持續發展聚積專業人才，例如針對金融科技專才，應該提供合適的支持，如稅務優惠、廉價辦公室空間等。
Likewise the development of Hong Kongs financial industry needs the help of professionals from other places . For that reason the Government should formulate more packages for attracting talents and professionals so as to create a larger pool of talents for sustaining the development of Hong Kongs financial industry
此外，政府應該與業界合作，為金融專才提供培育和職業生涯發展，鼓勵更多有能力的人士加入金融創新行業。
For example the Government may provide suitable support for Fintech professionals such as taxation concession and discounted office space in order to encourage more capable people to join the innovative financial industry
第四個金融基建方面，就是應適時完成稅務優惠安排，推動新的金融產業發展。
The fourth thing about the financial infrastructure is to complete the tax concession arrangement in a timely manner so as to make it a driving force to promote the development of a new financial industry
香港目前的財政儲備超過8,000多億元，雖然財經官員多次解釋基於香港人口結構變化，政府目前和未來有很大的承擔，這些承擔最終會耗盡這筆儲備。
The present fiscal reserves of Hong Kong are over 800 billion . Our financial officials have of course explained over and over again that due to the changes in Hong Kongs demographic structure the Governments financial burden is and will be very heavy and this will ultimately use up the reserves
但是，我們現在距離耗盡儲備仍有一些空間，應該盡快善用這筆儲備來投資於香港的未來，締造更佳的經濟基礎。
But I would think that before the using up of our reserves there should still be some leeway so we should use the reserves for investments in Hong Kongs future as early as possible so as to create a much more robust economic foundation
業界過往多年也向政府提議應該效法新加坡的做法，利用稅務優惠的措施來扶助新的金融產業，以創造新的收益來源。
Over the years the industry has been urging the Government to follow Singapores practice of offering taxation concession to assist the development of a new financial industry and to create new sources of revenue
政府已修改《稅務條例》，對合資格企業財資中心所產生的合資格利潤提供8.25%的稅務優惠，成功吸引一些企業開始逐步在香港成立財資中心。
The Government has amended the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance which now provides for a concessionary rate of 8.25 % on qualifying profits of a qualifying corporate treasury centre CTC . The move has succeeded in gradually inducing certain enterprises to establish CTCs in Hong Kong
但是，政府有需要採取更靈活和進取的稅制，以引進香港有優勢但尚未開展的產業。
Nevertheless the Government needs to adopt an even more flexible and ambitious tax regime so as to introduce to Hong Kong certain industries which it has potentials to do well but which it has not yet been able to develop
舉例來說，近期政府已經準備修例，削減飛機租賃公司的利得稅，從飛機租賃龍頭愛爾蘭和新加坡手上爭奪這塊"肥肉"。
For example the Government now intends to amend the relevant legislation to reduce the profit tax for aircraft leasing companies with the aim of snatching this type of lucrative business from leading market players such as Ireland and Singapore
我希望政府在這方面不要"綁手綁腳"，要加快落實有關的措施，而且這粒糖一定要夠甜，才有吸引力，能夠吸引那些公司來港。
I hope the Government will relax all the restrictions in this regard and implement the relevant measures as soon as possible . Besides the candies handed out should be sweet enough to induce companies to do business in Hong Kong
第四方面，就是扶助本港的中小企成長。
The fourth point I wish to discuss is the provision of assistance to the development of Hong Kongs small and medium enterprises SMEs . It seems that this issue does not have any direct relationship with the financial industry
中小企的範疇與金融業看似沒有直接關係，但事實是，中小企佔本地企業超過98%，提供了130萬個職位，佔香港總勞動人口46%，是香港商業活動的主要來源，也是銀行業的基本客戶，金融業交易的支柱和基礎。
But the fact is that SMEs account for more than 98 % of local businesses and provide 1.3 million job opportunities making up 46 % of the total workforce of Hong Kong . SMEs are the major source of Hong Kong business activities . They are the basic clients of the banking industry and the pillars and foundations of Hong Kongs financial transactions
可惜，今次的施政報告並沒有提到如何支援中小企業。
Unfortunately this time around the Policy Address fails to mention how SMEs should be helped
李慧琼議員剛才發言時也提到，政府應該推出更多支持中小企的措施。
Ms Starry LEE has rightly mentioned in her speech that the Government should provide SMEs with more supportive measures
我也一直透過不同的渠道，呼籲政府優化對中小企的融資計劃，而政府對中小企的支援計劃快將完結，然而，至目前為止，也未見有任何新的發展方向。
I have all along been urging the Government through various channels to improve the financing plans for SMEs . In the meantime some programmes set up by the Government to support SMEs will soon come to an end but even now we cannot see any new development direction
政府應該進一步研究優化各類型的中小企融資計劃，提供更充足的彈性，讓中小企和銀行更大程度參與其中。
The Government should further study the enhancement of various financing plans for SMEs so as to provide more flexibility to increase the participation of SMEs and banks
主席，為了讓市民分享香港經濟的成果，現屆政府提出了很多政策，以盡力縮窄貧富差距，相信沒有多少人會反對。
President in order to share the fruit of Hong Kongs economic development with the public the current - term Government has proposed a number of policies to narrow the wealth gap . I believe very few people will oppose that
但是，這些政策均需要調撥大量的資源來配合。
Nevertheless such policies should be complemented by the allocation of large amount of resources
在目前世界經濟形勢仍然相當不明朗，以及很多國家均在緩慢復蘇的大環境下，我們必須不停地為香港找到新的經濟增長點，才能夠支持和配合。
Given the uncertain prospects of the global economy and the fact that the economy of many countries are recovering only very slowly we should keep on identifying new points of economic growth for Hong Kong in order to support and complement our economic growth . Hong Kongs financial industry is one of the traditional industries with competitive edge
香港金融產業屬於傳統的優勢行業之一，我們有良好的基建、法制、稅制、語言和人才等有利 條件，如果能夠深耕細作，所產生的經濟效益，應該可以支持香港持續發展，這樣香港的國際金融中心地位才能得以鞏固和提升。
Our sound infrastructure facilities legal system tax regime bilingual proficiency and talents are all our advantages . If we can do some deep ploughing and careful cultivation the economic benefits so generated should be able to support the sustainable development of Hong Kong . It is only by so doing that Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre can be enhanced and elevated
主席，我認同本屆政府"發展經濟，改善民生"的施政理念。
President I echo the policy vision of the current - term Government in Developing the Economy and Improving Peoples Livelihood
我們清楚知道，只有發展經濟，才能改善民生，促進社會和諧共融。
We know only too well that only through economic development can we improve peoples livelihood and promote social harmony and inclusion
在民生方面，相信很多市民都看見特區政府近年將土地問題列為施政的重中之重，積極增加土地和房屋供應。
Regarding peoples livelihood I believe many people see that in recent years the SAR Government has listed land as its top - priority task and has actively increased land and housing supply
特首在今年的施政報告就社會爭拗多時的問題，包括退休保障、強積金對沖問題交代具體方案。
In this Policy Address the Chief Executive has set out specific proposals on issues that have caused numerous ongoing wrangles in society such as retirement protection the arrangement of offsetting severance payments and long service payments with Mandatory Provident Fund contributions etc
但是，是否如梁特首所說，基本上落實了他所有的競選承諾？
But whether Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying has basically implemented all commitments in his Election Manifesto as he claimed so in the Policy Address is a question to be answered
至於經濟方面，香港在過去數年經歷了多場政治風波，社會撕裂日益嚴重，整體政治、經濟環境轉差，其中零售業和旅遊業更步入寒冬。
Regarding the economy Hong Kong has weathered several political storms in the past few years . These storms have left society increasingly divided and the political climate and economic environment worsened and in particular inactivated the retail and tourism industries
然而，今年的施政報告在振興經濟的力度明顯不足，對商界，特別是中小企的支援更少之有少，實在令人失望。
But the Policy Address obviously lacks strength in boosting the economy and hardly any assistance is offered to the business sector especially small and medium enterprises SMEs . In this regard it is disappointing
所以，我期望本屆政府能善用餘下任期，專注紓緩積壓已久的民生問題，特別是土地房屋方面，同時推動多元產業發展，擴闊經濟架 構，希望最終能與市民共享經濟成果，令市民的生活質素得以改善，更希望能減少社會的對立和矛盾，共同重建一個和諧、安定、繁榮的社會。
I thus hope that the current - term Government can make good use of the remaining time to focus on alleviating the long - existed livelihood issues especially those related to land and housing and at the same time take forward a diversified development of industries to broaden our economic framework . I hope that by so doing the Government can ultimately share economic returns with the people thereby improving their quality of life . I also hope that by so doing it can reduce oppositions and conflicts in society so that we can build a harmonious stable and prosperous society together
主席，根據2016年第一季經濟報告，中小企盈利率由2010年的9.8%下跌至2014年2.8%。
President according to the First Quarter Economic Report 2016 the earnings ratio of SMEs dropped from 9.8 % in 2010 to 2.8 % in 2014 . SMEs are an important constituent in the Hong Kong economy
中小企是香港經濟體系中的重要組成部分，現時香港大約有32萬間中小企業，僱用超過四成五的勞動人口，所以我認為政府必須加強支援中小企，幫助他們應對環球經濟不穩的風險，協助他們透過加強應用創新科技，推動企業升級轉型，對於香港的整體經濟、就業都會有莫大裨益。
There are now about 320 000 SMEs in Hong Kong employing over 45 % of the working population . I thus hold that the Government must strengthen its support to SMEs help them counter the risks posted by the unstable global economy and help them upgrade and transform their enterprises through better use of innovation and technology . This will also greatly benefit the overall economy and employment in Hong Kong
事實上，創新科技已成為近年全球國家和地區競爭力比拼的其中一個重要環節。
As a matter of fact in recent years innovation and technology has already become an important element in comparing the competitiveness of countries and regions in the world
根據世界經濟論壇發表的《2016-2017年全球競爭力報告》，香港在全球138個經濟體系中，競爭力排名下跌至第九位，繼續跑輸新加坡。
According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2016 - 2017 published by the World Economic Forum Hong Kong drops to the ninth place among 138 global economies and still loses out to Singapore
在多項表現中，香港在創新能力上表現最弱，7分為滿分，香港只得4.4分，排名遜色於新加坡、南韓、台灣及馬來西亞。
Among the different pillars Hong Kong is rated the weakest in its innovation pillar scoring only 4.4 out of 7 and ranking lower than Singapore South Korea Taiwan and Malaysia in this regard
報告指出，創新不足是香港營商的其中一個問題，而創新跟科研往往是相連緊扣的，一些創新意念、產品及服務很多時候都是由科研開始，所以我相信香港的創新表現較差，其中一個原因是香港在科研方面的投資嚴重落後，直接影響香港的競爭力。
The Report points out that our weak capacity to innovate is one of the problems facing the business community in Hong Kong . Innovation is often closely linked to research and development RD which often gives birth to creative ideas products and services . I thus believe that one of the reasons for our poor innovation performance is that our RD investment lags seriously behind our counterparts and thus directly affected our competitiveness
特別是私營研發開支，只得0.3%，相比南韓的3.3%明顯有很大差距，即使與排名倒數第二的新加坡相比，新加坡也有1.2%，香港遠遠被拋離。
Contributed only 0.3 % to the GDP private RD in Hong Kong lagged far behind South Korea and was even behind the corresponding spending in Singapore which contributed 1.2 % to its GDP and was the second last on the list . Hong Kong is lagging far behind
其餘中國佔1.6%，台灣和日本分別佔2.3%和2.8%。
As for other regions private RD spending in China contributed 1.6 % to its GDP and 2.3 % and 2.8 % to the GDP of Taiwan and Japan respectively
至於公共研發的投資方面，香港與中國屬最少，只得0.4%，最多同樣是南韓，佔1%。
Regarding public spending on RD Hong Kong and China contributed most minimally in this regard only 0.4 % while South Korea again topped the list contributed 1 % to its GDP in this regard
整體比較，香港的科研投資只佔GDP的0.7%，新加坡和中國佔2%，台灣佔3%，日本和南韓分別佔3.6%和4.3%。
On the whole the RD investment of Hong Kong only accounted for 0.7 % of the GDP while both Singapore and China accounted for 2 % Taiwan 3 % and Japan and South Korea 3.6 % and 4.3 % respectively
所以，香港政府應該有策略地研究如何做好研發投資。
Hence the Hong Kong Government should strategically explore how it can properly take forward its RD investment
主席，我歡迎政府加強對香港創新科技的支持。
President I welcome the Governments decision to strengthen its support to innovation and technology
對於今年施政報告提出會支持香港科技園公司在科學園旁邊興建"創新斗室"，提供住宿單位和工作空間等設施，租予培育公司或初創企業的人員。
It proposes in the Policy Address this year to construct at a site adjacent to the Science Park an InnoCell with ancillary facilities such as residential units and working spaces for leasing to staff of the incubatees and start - ups in the Science Park
我絕對歡迎政府支持推動創新科技，為青年創造就業機會，以及加強扶助初創企業，但有關政策必須有通盤考慮。
I absolutely welcome the Government to support the development of innovation and technology so as to create job opportunities for young people and step up assistance for start - ups . That said the Government must make comprehensive consideration when formulating the policy concerned
