雖然香港受到環球經濟下行的不穩定因素影響，但亦受惠於粵港澳大灣區的發展機遇。
Amid global economic uncertainties Hong Kong can however benefit from the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
然而，一項調查發現，願意到大灣區就業、創業或居住的受訪青年人只有兩成多，表示不願意的人數高達五成，但認同大灣區發展會為香港帶來機遇的受訪者卻有四成四。
Nevertheless a survey has shown that only some 20 % of young respondents are willing to work start business or reside in the Greater Bay Area; as many as 50 % of respondents have expressed their unwillingness even though 44 % of respondents agree that the development of the Greater Bay Area will bring opportunities to Hong Kong
因此，政府必須切實協助青年人充分了解大灣區的發展前景，讓他們跳出香港這個框框，放眼大灣區這個"九加二"大局，為自己拓闊人生的發展路向。
The Government should therefore provide concrete support to young people so that they can have a full picture about the development prospects of the Greater Bay Area . They will then be able to see beyond Hong Kong look ahead to the nine plus two region in the Greater Bay Area and open up a wider path for their career development
對於初出茅廬的青年人來說，他們如在香港就業，大學會為大學生提供就業輔導服務，但他們若選擇前往內地就業或創業，便需要"盲公竹"協助。
If fresh graduates wish to stay in Hong Kong for work their university will provide them with employment counselling services . Yet if they choose to go to the Mainland for employment or business start - up they need some sort of support and guidance
就此，政府在大灣區開設更多相關辦事處是可行辦法之一，政府亦可擴大現時辦事處的編制。
In this connection the Government may among others set up more relevant offices in the Greater Bay Area and expand the establishment of existing offices
事實上，不少在內地創業的青年人表示，在內地資訊不流通、政策不夠具體的情況下，他們申請資助時困難重重，因而希望政府能夠擔當更積極的角色，為他們與內地行政機構對接，減少在內地創業時遇到的困難。
In fact many young people running their business in the Mainland have indicated that owing to the ineffective flow of information and lack of specific policy they have encountered great difficulty in applying for funding support . They hope that the Government will be more proactive in helping them liaise with the Mainlands administrative agencies to make business start - up easier in the Mainland
近期，國家推出一系列針對港澳人士的國民待遇措施，涵蓋居住證、社會保障、醫療及子女教育等方面，特區政府有責任多向青年人宣傳相關措施。
Our country has recently implemented a series of measures to provide Hong Kong and Macao residents with national treatment covering residence permit social protection health care services and childrens education . The SAR Government should step up publicity to raise young peoples awareness of such measures
現時大灣區仍處於早期發展階段，部分領域需要有更多支援，政府應該積極為他們搭建發展平台和階梯，實質地解除他們到大灣區和內地發展的顧慮。
Currently the Greater Bay Area is still in its early stage of development and stronger support in some areas should thus be provided . The Government should actively build development platforms and ladders for young people so as to allay through practical measures their worries of pursuing career development in the Greater Bay Area and the Mainland
代理主席，不論是中小企抑或青年人，他們到大灣區發展時，應該抱着共同建設的心態參與發展，而不是執着於誰是龍頭或領導者的狹隘想法，忽略互補和分工才是成功關鍵。
Deputy President when SMEs and young people go to the Greater Bay Area for development they should consider themselves as participating in the building up of the Area rather than focusing solely on the question of who is the boss or who has the leading position . Complementarity of edge and division of work are the keys to success . They must not forget that
唯有互補和分工，才能將大灣區建設成為國際科技創新中心，繼而為中小企和青年人謀出路。
The Greater Bay Area can only be developed into an international technology and innovation centre to give our SMEs and young people a better future if the member cites are willing to work together and complement their strengths
主席，我感謝謝偉銓議員今天動議這項議案，我也相當同意很多同事的修正案，特別是有關青年就業和向上流動的修正案。
President I would like to thank Mr Tony TSE for moving this motion today and I rather endorse the amendments of many colleagues especially the amendments on youth employment and upward mobility
為何自置居所不可作為日後退休的資產？
Why cant the property acquired be ones assets for retirement in the future?
根據最新的調查報告，即使香港人不吃不喝，也要21年才可儲到"上樓"的錢。
According to the latest survey even if Hong Kong people do not spend any money on food they will take 21 years to save enough money for home purchase
政府廣告也經常教我們別給錢中介，相信很多青年人也認同這一點。
In the Announcements of Public Interests the Government advices us not to give money to intermediaries; I believe many young people endorse this saying
主席，市民即使抽中綠置居、港人首次置業，或者居者有其屋也好，也要支付首期、律師費和各種雜費。
President even if one can successfully apply for flats under the Green Form Subsidized Home Ownership Scheme the Starter Homes Pilot Scheme for Hong Kong Residents or the Home Ownership Scheme he still has to make down payment pay legal fees and various miscellaneous fees
為何政府不容許市民使用強積金滾存的款項支付首期等相關開支？
Why does the Government not allow the public to use the accumulated MPF benefits to meet the related expenses such as down payment?
以月入2萬元的年輕朋友或配偶而言，兩年強積金應已足夠支付"上車"的首期。
For a young person or a couple with a monthly income of 20,000 the accumulated MPF benefits in two years should be sufficient for making the down payment
主席，容許我套用近期一篇我認為頗有趣的文章，名為"港股MPF必敗法"。
President please allow me to cite a recent article entitled Sure lose of MPF Hong Kong Equity Funds which is rather interesting
如果比較盈富基金和強積金的基金管理費，前者是0.1%，後者是由市民直接在市場購買，管理費高出10多倍，每年數以十億元計的管理費予有關人士袋袋平安，但對於供款者卻沒有多大好處。
If we compare the fund management fees of the Tracker Fund and MPF the former is 0.1 % while the latter is more than 10 times higher as the public directly buy funds in the market . The annual management fees amounting to billions of dollars are pocketed by the persons concerned but people making contributions are not considerably benefited
去年11月29日，劉怡翔局長回應我一項有關強積金的質詢時說，強積金戶口平均結餘只有18萬元，對於置業的幫助是杯水車薪。
On 29 November last year Secretary James Henry LAU said in response to my question about MPF that the average balance of MPF accounts at 180,000 was not meaningful in helping home purchase
套用張建宗司長的說法，如果在這樣的情況下要市民繼續虧蝕，似乎真的說不過去。
In the words of Chief Secretary Matthew CHEUNG it was really unacceptable if we allow members of the public to keep suffering from losses under such circumstances
主席，政府的宣傳片不斷呼籲市民別給錢中介，但在本港多個中介行業中無論是地產中介、旅遊代理商中介或者保險中介都越來越多人透過網絡剔除中間人，直接處理他們的買賣和事務，但諷刺性地，我們的強積金制度卻強迫我們的僱員一邊不斷虧蝕，一邊支付巨額中介費用。
President the Announcements of Public Interests of the Government keep advising people not to give money to intermediaries . More and more people have skipped intermediaries such as real estate agent travel agent or insurance agent and directly deal with their transactions and affairs through the Internet . Ironically the MPF system forces employees to keep incurring losses while paying huge intermediary fees
主席，近來政府的各項措施，無論是"派錢"4,000元，三隧分流方案，或提高長者綜援的門檻等，似乎都在道理上說不過去。
President recently it seems that various measures of the Government including handing out 4,000 the proposal on traffic rationalization among the three road harbour crossings or raising the age threshold for applying for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance are unreasonable
希望今屆政府能有一項措施是可以說得過去的，就是容許以強積金滾存作為首置之用，真正紓緩年青人在"上車"方面的困難。
I hope that the current - term Government will have an acceptable measure that allows the use of accumulated MPF benefits for starter home purchase so as to genuinely relieve the home purchase difficulties of young people
主席，除了首置外，是否還可以考慮將強積金的結餘用於幫助年青人創業？
President apart from starter home purchase can we consider using the MPF balance to help young people start their own business?
總結來說，我認為只要政府的措施能對香港社會經濟有幫助，對青年人創業有幫助，甚至對他們首次置業有幫助，無論是在大灣區投資創業或在外求學的青年人都會回來，我們應該對香港有充分的自信。
To sum up if the Governments measures can facilitate the development of our society and economy the entrepreneurship of young people and even the purchase of starter homes by young people I believe that young people who start business in the Greater Bay Area or who pursue studies overseas will return to Hong Kong . We should have full confidence in Hong Kong
因為，藥物建議委員會採取實證為本的方針，以及依循藥物安全性、療效和成本效益3個原則評審申請。
This is because the Drug Advisory Committee has all along adopted an evidence - based approach and followed the three principles of safety efficacy and cost - effectiveness in appraising a new drug
其實，當中最可圈可點的就是"成本效益"。
Among these principles cost - effectiveness is the most debatable
有時候，我們希望保護青年人或小朋友，但我認為過分保護未必是好事。
Sometimes we want to protect young people or children but I think excessive protection may not be desirable
幼稚園停課是保護小朋友的一個途徑，讓他們接種流感疫苗，也是避免他們生病的一個途徑。
The suspension of classes in kindergartens is a way to protect children and influenza vaccination also a way to prevent them from getting sick
要有效避免染上流感，鍛練身體才是最基本的方法。
Building up a strong physique is the most fundamental way to effectively prevent influenza
當然，這種說話很動聽，令青年人覺得自己備受保護，他們可以在香港相對安逸地生活，真是"小確幸"。
Of course this remark is very pleasant to the ears making young people feel that they are protected and they can live comfortably in Hong Kong which is really their small bliss
主席，談到視野問題，究竟香港人的視野，是由荃灣或天水圍去柴灣，還是由深圳去北京一個這麼遼闊的地方？
President when it comes to vision does the vision of Hong Kong people span from Tsuen Wan or Tin Shui Wai to Chai Wan or from Shenzhen to a vast place as Beijing?
我們的視野真是比較狹窄。
Our vision is relatively narrow in scope
正如楊岳橋議員剛才所說，我們可以接觸到很多不同地方的人，但我們的視野確實局限於香港。
As Mr Alvin YEUNG said just now we can come into contacts with people from many different places but our vision is really limited to Hong Kong
所以，我們認為大灣區為青年人的事業發展提供一個平台，因為大灣區靠近香港，而且有錯綜複雜的交織網和足夠人口，為事業發展提供一個平台。
Therefore we think that the Greater Bay Area provides a platform for young peoples career development because the place is close to Hong Kong and there are intricate networks and a large population to provide a platform for career development
主席，一個較大的平台定會帶來挑戰，有些人或會感到不適應，例如，我們可能會在內地遇到一些特殊情況。
President a larger platform will definitely bring challenges and some people may not adapt to such challenges . For example we may encounter some special circumstances on the Mainland
所以，我支持謝偉銓議員的原議案和陸頌雄議員的修正案。
Hence I support Mr Tony TSEs original motion and Mr LUK Chung - hung amendment
郭家麒議員的修正案過分保護下一代，我們不希望下一代受到過分保護。
Dr KWOK Ka - kis amendment overprotects the younger generation but we do not want the younger generation to be overprotected
政府表示要待有共識才就罕見疾病立法。
The Government says that it will enact legislation concerning rare diseases only after a consensus can be reached
我當然贊成就罕見疾病立法，但其實最重要的是要根據病人的病情來配藥。
Of course I support legislation on rare diseases but prescribing the right drugs to patients according to their conditions is actually of utmost importance
我謹此陳辭，支持議案及所有修正案。
With these remarks I support the motion and all amendments
代理主席，今時今日，我已經不想跟我右邊的同事辯論自由黨邵家輝議員所說的話，因為當有同事如此"離地"，你說甚麼他都會覺得不中聽，最好便是香港甚麼法例都沒有，包括駕駛飛機也無需執照，跳上飛機便可以駕駛，對嗎？
Deputy President today I do not want to debate with the Honourable colleague sitting on my right over the remarks of Mr SHIU Ka - fai from the Liberal Party . If a person is so out of touch with reality he will not agree with any other views . He may find it best to eliminate all rules and regulations in Hong Kong including the licensing requirement for pilots so that everyone can fly a plane
所以，我覺得大家無謂爭拗，聆聽的市民自會明白大家說的是甚麼。
So I think we should stop arguing . People who are listening to our debate will know our views
代理主席，我重複說，自由黨毫無疑問同意要創造機遇扶助中小型企業及促進青年人向上流動，其實無須如剛才的同事所說，青年人必須要做老闆，因為如果中小企有所發展，青年人也可以向上流動。
Deputy President I repeat once again The Liberal Party absolutely agrees that we should create opportunities to assist small and medium enterprises SMEs and promote upward mobility of young people . However it is not as suggested by other Members earlier that young people must start their own business . If SMEs are well developed young people can also move upward
對於原議案和修正案中多項建議，由如何鼓勵創業、改革公營機構的招標制度、重視創意、利用粵港澳大灣區的契機、加強創新科技的應用，以至為青年人提供不同形式的房屋選擇等，我們都沒有異議。
No problem . That is well expected . We have no objection to the various proposals in the original motion and its amendments for example encouraging entrepreneurship reforming the tendering system of public organizations attaching importance to creativity seizing the opportunities presented by the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area strengthening the application of innovative technology and providing young people with different forms of housing choices
我只想補充幾點。
But I would like to add a few points
第一，中小企仍然是不少青年進入職場的起點，故此扶助中小企與促進青年人向上流動，兩者息息相關。
First of all many young people still have their career starting from SMEs . Assisting SMEs and promoting upward mobility of young people are thus closely related
不過，要扶助中小企便必須營造好營商環境，致力為中小企拆牆鬆綁，切勿設立過高的門檻，窒礙他們的發展。
However in order to assist SMEs we must create a favourable business environment remove unnecessary restrictions for SMEs and avoid setting excessively high thresholds that hinder the development of SMEs
同樣，我們當然鼓勵青年人創業，但如果我們同時增加其創業成本，沒有營造好營商環境，我們只會增加他們的創業風險。
Similarly when young people are encouraged to start their own business we must avoid burdening them with high start - up costs and poor business environment as this will only increase their risk of business start - up
第二，香港現時人手不足。
Secondly Hong Kong is now short of manpower
大家切勿以為為了留機會給下一代，便應反對輸入勞工。
Please do not think we can secure jobs for the next generation by opposing THE importation of labour
香港有些人擔心外來人"搶飯碗"而抗拒輸入專才，但大家要明白，世界轉變得很快，香港未必有適合的人才配合發展。
Some Hong Kong people are against the importation of professionals for fear that their rice bowls will be snatched by outsiders . However we must know that the world is changing fast . Hong Kong may not have the talents needed to support its development
第三，香港的工資高企、租金昂貴，窒礙了中小企及初創企業的發展是不爭的事實。
Thirdly it is indisputable that high wages and expensive rents have dragged the development of SMEs and start - up enterprises
自由黨認為當局必須積極研究對策，例如可否考慮為中小微企引入新入職津貼，為他們提供資助，吸引新人入行，亦可以為低學歷的青年人提供長遠的工作階梯。
The Liberal Party holds that the Government should actively deal with these problems by say providing MSMEs with allowances to attract new blood . It is also a way to provide young people with low education attainment with a long - term employment pathway
另外，自由黨亦建議當局提高中小企辦公室和商鋪租金的開支扣稅至150%，額外稅務寬免部分每年上限為30萬元，以減低他們的租金壓力。
Moreover the Liberal Party has also suggested that the Government should increase SMEs tax allowance for office and shop rents to 150 % with the amount of this additional tax concession being capped at 300,000 so as to alleviate the rental pressure on SMEs
最後，我想指出，對於陸頌雄議員修正案提及的有薪培訓假期，自由黨有意見。
Lastly I would like to say that the Liberal Party does not endorse the introduction of paid training leave proposed in Mr LUK Chung - hungs amendment
當然，我們鼓勵僱主為僱員提供培訓，但陸頌雄議員修正案的用詞卻令我有疑惑。
We do encourage employers to provide training to employees but I have reservation about the wording of Mr LUK Chung - hungs amendment
至於郭家麒議員的修正案，儘管他提出的建議沒有大問題，但由於他陳述的內容論及香港人自由、民主、法治及權利的狀況，自由黨認為與事實不符，所以，我們會投反對票。
As for the amendment proposed by Dr KWOK Ka - ki although there are no big problems with his proposals we will vote against it for the Liberal Party does not think his remarks on freedom democracy rule of law and rights enjoyed by Hong Kong people tally with the facts
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經李國麟議員修正的張超雄議員議案。
President I move that Dr Fernando CHEUNGs motion as amended by Prof Joseph LEE be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，時下青年人最需要的是甚麼？
President what do young people nowadays need most?
就是發展機會。
They need opportunities for development
政府和工商界可以通過合作，幫助籌謀香港青年的長遠發展。
The Government and the business sector should hence work together to help them plan for their long - term development
特別是中美貿易拉鋸多月，為香港各行各業帶來多方面的影響，我們更加要作 出全面及長遠的應對部署，創造機遇扶助中小型企業，並提供機會讓青年人向上流動。
In particular after months of trade war between China and the United States all trades in Hong Kong are affected in different ways . A comprehensive and long - term plan is thus more important for creating opportunities to assist small and medium enterprises SMEs and providing upward mobility opportunities to young people
內地和美國是香港兩個最主要的貿易夥伴，因此中美貿易糾紛一定會影響到香港。
Since the Mainland and the United States are the two biggest trade partners of Hong Kong we will certainly be affected by their trade conflicts
業界向我反映，擔憂貿易戰一旦加劇，會影響他們承接訂單的情況，令他們進退兩難。
Some business owners have reflected to me their worries over the escalation of trade war as their orders may get affected putting them between a rock and a hard place
不少港商還要面對勞工權益的訴求及經營成本上升的壓力，實在是百上加斤。
Many businessmen in Hong Kong are further burdened by the increasing demands for workers rights and interests and rising increasing operating costs
再者，中小企流動資金有限，如果銀行因為貿易戰而收緊借貸，很可能影響他們的資金周轉。
In addition if banks tighten their credit policies due to trade war SMEs may have liquidity problem due to their limited cash flow
我在這裏再次重申，希望政府推出不同的政策和應變措施，包括透過出口信用保險局加大保額和擴大保障範圍，以及重推"特別信貸保證計劃"，由政府提供信貸擔保，以應付企業資金周轉需要。
Here I would like to once again urge the Government to help enterprises meet their liquidity needs by introducing relevant policies and contingencies including the provision of higher and wider insurance coverage through the Export Credit Insurance Corporation and the reintroduction of the Special Loan Guarantee Scheme with the Government acting as the guarantor
主席，另一方面，香港應該把握國家未來發展所帶來的重大機遇，藉此分散投資風險。
President on the other hand Hong Kong should grasp the golden opportunity brought by the development of our country to diversify investment risks
我們可以在推動大灣區建設及發展香港成為國際創新科技中心等方面發揮融資優勢，支持內地企業借助香港"走出去"，為國家改革開放繼續貢獻力量。
We may bring into play our edge in financing to promote the building up of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay and the development of Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology centre and assist Mainlands enterprises to go global through Hong Kong so that they can contribute to the reform and opening up of our country
青年人正正是推動社會發展的重要動力。
Young people are important drivers of social advancement
我希望大家由社會的實際情況出發，多些關注青年人的訴求，為他們提供一個穩定、和諧的社會環境，同時在政策上提供切實可行的支援，讓他們有更多機會實現自我價值，為未來打好基礎。
We should pay more attention to their aspirations while taking into account the actual circumstances in society and provide them with a stable and harmonized social environment . In terms of policy practical support should be given to increase their self - fulfilment opportunities so that they can lay a solid foundation for their future
現在內地高鐵網絡縱橫交錯，是全世界規模最大、發展最成熟的高鐵系統。
The Express Rail network crisscrossing the Mainland is now the largest and best - developed high - speed rail system in the world
未來高鐵會將中國和周邊國家連接起來，有利年輕人前赴"一帶一路"國家從商和發展，促進人才交流，可以說是"路通才通"，亦是加強跟內地融合的好時機。
It will connect China with its neighbouring countries to bring convenience to young people who wish to do business and develop their career in the Belt and Road countries and promote talent exchange . In other words a good transport network will bring in global talents . Hong Kong should also capitalize on this opportunity to strengthen its integration with the Mainland
內地有不少官方和非官方途徑鼓勵青年人創業，包括租金優惠、共享工作空間、初創企業交流、企業配對支援等。
In the Mainland there are many official and unofficial initiatives to encourage youth entrepreneurship . Such examples include rent concessions shared offices exchanges among start - up enterprises and enterprise matching support
現在已有不少企業成功集資上市甚至面向國際。
Many enterprises have raised funds by listing on the market; some have even gone global
香港應該要跟內地加強人才交流，借鑒成功的經驗，這樣一定可以幫助香港的年青人大展拳腳。
Hong Kong should therefore enhance talent exchanges with the Mainland to learn from its successful experiences . This can definitely help young people of Hong Kong to make strides
面對全球新一輪的科技革命，我們不可以落後，必須要加強跟內地融合，達致互通共贏。
We must not lag behind in the latest global technological revolution but ought to strengthen our integration with the Mainland to achieve win - win outcomes
深圳近年在創新科技方面的成就，大家都有目共睹，可以為香港青年人提供廣闊的發展平台。
The achievement of Shenzhen in innovation and technology in recent years speaks for itself and Shenzhen is now a large development platform for young people of Hong Kong
政府和工商界可以多鼓勵青年人，特別是青年企業家和專業人士，到粵港澳大灣區創業和就業，尋找新的發展機遇。
The Government and the business sector may further encourage the youth especially young entrepreneurs and professionals to look for new development opportunities by starting a business or getting a job in the Greater Bay Area . President we may draw reference from the case of Qianhai
主席，值得參考的是，前海為鼓勵海外專才到當地工作，由2013年起提供個人所得稅補貼，這些專才實際要交的稅率因而只是15%。
In order to attract overseas professionals Qianhai has provided expatriates with an individual income tax allowance since 2013 to lower their actual tax rate to 15 %
這數年，我和香港經濟民生聯盟一直倡議，希望特區政府可以爭取將措施擴大到大灣區不同城市。
Over the years the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong and I have urged the SAR Government to fight for the extension of this concession to different cities in the Greater Bay Area
國家未來的經濟發展機遇處處，我們可以通過開展內銷市場，分散中小企的投資風險。
Opportunities spring up everywhere in China as its economy advances . SMEs may diversify their investment risks by tapping the domestic market in the Mainland
同時，很多青年人希望透過自身努力和拼搏闖出一番事業，造福社會。
At the same time many young people want to build a successful career by their own efforts and contribute to society
我希望政府跟內地繼續緊密合作，陸續推出多項利商惠民的措施，例如爭取稅務優惠，以進一步便利港澳居民在內地就業和創業，促進青年人向上流動。
I hope the Government will continue to work closely with the Mainland authorities and take new initiatives such as tax concessions to benefit businesses and members of the public making it easier for Hong Kong and Macao residents to work or set up businesses in the Mainland thereby enhancing the upward mobility of young people
很多事情說來容易，特別是談到跟內地融合、如何加快香港青年人和工商界融入內地環境等方面。
Things are often easier said than done . This is particularly so when Hong Kong has to integrate with the Mainland and help young people and members of the business sector integrate into the Mainlands environment
去年，我們有一個代表團到珠江三角洲的大灣區考察，我覺得很成功，因為議員可以體察到有關情況。
Last year we formed a delegation to visit the Greater Bay Area in the Pearl River Delta . I think this visit was very successful because Members could learn about local situation in person
主席，希望你今年再次安排立法會議員到國內考察一些新地方，例如長江三角洲。
President I hope you will arrange another visit this year for Members to visit some other places such as the Yangtze River Delta in the Mainland
我曾經向你表達過這個意願，希望能讓議員加深了解國內現在最新的發展情況。
I have expressed this wish to you before as I hope Members can then have a better understanding of the latest development of the Mainland
代理主席，中小企業是香港經濟的中流砥柱。
Deputy President small and medium enterprises SMEs are the mainstay of the Hong Kong economy
政府十分重視推動中小企業的發展，並致力為中小企業締造有利營商的環境，以及提供足夠支援。
The Government has attached great importance to promoting SMEs development and is committed to creating a favourable business environment and providing adequate support for SMEs
我們亦密切留意經濟情況的轉變，因應時勢不時檢視我們的措施。
In addition we have been closely monitoring the changes in the economic condition and will review our measures from time to time in light of the circumstances
以中美貿易摩擦為例，政府一直密切關注事態發展及其對香港經濟的影響，並與業界保持緊密溝通，共商對策。
Take the China - United States trade conflicts as an example . The Government has been closely monitoring the developments of the trade conflicts and their impact on the Hong Kong economy maintaining close communication with the trade and discussing with them on how to respond
商務及經濟發展局和工業貿易署亦多次與香港主要商會及中小企商會代表會面，聽取業界 關注，並迅速回應業界訴求，推出多項針對性措施，協助本地企業包括中小企開拓新市場、減輕融資負擔，以及加強受美國關稅措施影響的香港出口商的保障等。
The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and the Trade and Industry Department have also met with major local chambers and associations of SMEs many times to gauge their concerns promptly responded to the trades needs and introduced a number of targeted measures to assist local enterprises including SMEs in exploring new markets alleviating financing burden and strengthening protection for Hong Kong exporters affected by the United States tariff measures etc
此外，政府銳意發展新的經濟增長點，而國家的"一帶一路"倡議和粵港澳大灣區建設將為香港經濟發展帶來新機遇。
In addition the Government actively seeks economic growth and the Countrys Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area will bring new opportunities to Hong Kongs economic development
特區政府會一如既往致力協助企業把握機會，並積極連繫世界，為企業開拓更大商機。
The SAR Government will as always make efforts to assist enterprises in tapping into the opportunities and seeking active liaison with the world to explore more business opportunities for enterprises
