政府在預算案中提出，因應2016年推出的10年醫院發展計劃，籌備第二個10年醫院發展計劃，並為此預留3,000億元。
The Government states in the Budget that in view of the 10 - year hospital development plan introduced in 2016 it is working on the second 10 - year hospital development plan and will set aside 300 billion for this purpose
這是其中一個方法，但投資在社會和人民的健康，令市民大眾無後顧之憂，其實會帶來另一種經濟機遇。
This is only one of the approaches . Yet investments in society and the health of the people will relieve the public from their worries about their future and this will create another kind of economic opportunities
隨着人口老化，銀髮經濟可以成為政府投資的一個方向。
As the population is ageing silver hair economy may be an investment direction for the Government
政府投資在社會的整體醫療服務，令市民大眾無後顧之憂，因而願意消費，願意把所賺取的收入不是用來儲蓄，以應付不時之需投放在 社會上，為未來的生活甚至是工作的不同選擇作好準備，也是一種投資方式。
When the Government invests in the overall health care services for the community to relieve the public from worries about their future people will be willing to spend their income in the community instead of making savings for unexpected needs in future preparing for their future life and even their choice of work in future . This is also a kind of investment
我很想政府明白，以投資的概念而言，不應把投資在經濟與投資在社會中每位市民的需要對立起來，甚至在概念上認為前者是投資，後者是開支。
I earnestly hope the Government will understand that in the concept of investment investment in the economy and investment in the needs of each member in society should not be made conflicting and the Government should not hold the concept that the former is investment whereas the latter is expenditure
事實上，對於已有共識的政策，政府不投放資源來處理，或以很多不同的理由來不處理，本身便是一個問題。
In fact for policies over which a consensus has been reached it is a problem if the Government has not allocated resources for follow - up or made various excuses for not taking actions
因此，這是一種帶動社會開支的相應投資，因應政府政策而有所變化，不如政府計算的"死數"般單一。
Hence this kind of investment will drive social expenditure correspondingly where changes will take place in response to the policies of the Government . This is not kind of single unchangeable calculation as the Government presumes
同樣，安老院舍服務可能連結着整個銀髮經濟。
By the same token services of elderly homes may link up the silver hair economy as a whole
例如，政府決定投入資源興建458間安老院舍，而安老院舍面對人手不足的問題，定會引進各種自動化設施。
For instance when the Government decides to commit resources to the construction of 458 elderly homes given the shortage of manpower in elderly homes it will stimulate the introduction of various automatic facilities
事實上，人口老化的問題，在今天的社會上已有共識。
In fact on the problem of ageing population a consensus has been reached in society nowadays
其實，規劃署的要求完全具有彈性，能在GFA上滿足這方面的需要。
In fact the Planning Department can be completely flexible in setting the requirements and it may cope with the demands in this respect by means of requirements on GFA
社會的問題已經清楚擺在眼前。
These social problems are in front of our eyes
然而，我想提出一個觀點，就是單把"拉動內需"的概念套用在經濟上，其實不足以宏觀地處理整個問題，亦非善用財政盈餘的手段。
However I have to make one point . If the concept of stimulating internal demand is merely applied to economic development the issue as a whole will not be addressed from a macroscopic perspective . Besides this is not an approach to using the surplus properly
邵家輝議員議案的另一部分，有關擴大客源的問題，我會交給林卓廷議員代為論述。
The other part of Mr SHIU Ka - fais motion is on opening new visitor sources and I will leave it to Mr LAM Cheuk - ting to talk about it
最後，我想再次清楚說明剛才的觀點，希望政府能夠聽得清楚。
Lastly I would like to reiterate the points I made earlier for I hope the Government will listen to them attentively
"拉動內需擴大客源"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Stimulating internal demand and opening up new visitor sources
這也是刺激香港經濟，協助零售業。
This will also stimulate Hong Kongs economy and help the retail industry
究竟香港人的金錢增加了，會積穀防飢還是會先花未來錢呢？
When Hong Kong people have more money will they keep it for the bad times in the future or will they spend it with no regard to the future?
議案的第二部分才是"主菜"，就是"擴大客源"。
The second part of the motion―opening up new visitor sources―is the main course
"藉着更好的分流減輕旅客給市民帶來的不便"，這也是要支持的。
And we must also support the suggestion to alleviate the inconvenience caused by visitors to members of the public through better diversion
但此項議案令我特別仔細考慮的是容量的問題。
The only thing in this suggestion that I need to consider carefully is the issue of capacity
還是應該設限呢？
Or shall we set a limit?
這才是我們要深思的問題。
These are questions we need to consider carefully
2014年發表的《香港承受及接待旅客能力評估報告》預測，2017年訪港旅客將會上升至7,000萬人次。
The Assessment Report on Hong Kongs Capacity to Receive Tourists published in 2014 projected that Hong Kongs visitor arrivals would rise to 70 million in 2017
從自由行計劃放寬不同省市的旅客來港，至2003年後的"一簽多行"計劃，訪港的內地旅客人數以倍數上升，由2003年的846萬人次增加至2014年高峰期的4,725萬人次。
After the Individual Visit Scheme had been introduced to relax restrictions on visitors coming to Hong Kong from different provinces and cities and after the introduction of the Multiple - entry Individual Visit Endorsements Scheme in 2003 the number of Mainland visitor arrivals increased by multiples and grew from 8.46 million in 2003 to the peak 47.25 million in 2014
當單一客源的數字呈下跌趨勢，香港旅遊發展局才會開始提出點子來擴闊客源，到俄羅斯或其他地方宣傳香港。
It is only when the number of visitors from a single source displays a downward trend that the Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB begins to propose methods to open up new visitor sources . They go to Russia and other places to promote Hong Kong
主席，旅遊業與拉動內需、經濟發展是息息相關的。
President the tourism industry is closely related to the stimulation of internal demand and economic development
在此，我會就旅客分流、擴大客源，以及如何提升香港旅遊業的措施，提出我的想法。
Here I will express my views on visitor diversion expansion of visitor sources and measures to upgrade the tourism industry of Hong Kong
第一，要適當地將旅客分流，以紓緩某些地區承接旅客的壓力。
First visitors should be suitably diverted to alleviate the pressure borne by certain districts in receiving visitors
香港旅遊業的發展得益於內地旅客的龐大客源，帶動了過去超過10年的增長，但同時引起旅客承載力的問題。
The development of the tourism industry of Hong Kong should be attributed to the enormous visitor source of Mainland visitors which had been the engine of economic growth in the past decade yet it has led to the problem of receiving capability in Hong Kong
因此，如何分流旅客，以紓緩本港承接旅客的壓力，我認為仍然是政府在推動旅遊業工作中的重中之重。
Hence in my view the diversion of visitors to alleviate Hong Kongs pressure in receiving visitors remains the most important task of the Government in promoting the development of tourism industry
事實上，部分地區，特別是舊區，例如九龍西的土瓜灣、紅磡、九龍城等地區，正長期面對由旅客衍生的眾多問題，包括交通擠塞、違泊、衞生和噪音等問題，不單道路上擠滿旅遊巴士，現在連行人道也擠滿了旅客。
In fact certain districts old districts in particular such as To Kwa Wan Hung Hom and Kowloon City and so on have been confronted with numerous problems arising from visitors for a prolonged period . These problems include traffic congestion illegal parking hygiene problems and noise and so on . At present not only roads are jammed by tour coaches pavements are also crowded with visitors
此外，政府也表示會有數據分享項目，讓店鋪、食肆、導遊及旅遊巴士司機之間可作實時溝通，掌握道路店鋪的人流和車流情況，以達到改善旅客分流的目的。
Moreover the Government will introduce data sharing projects to allow shops restaurants tour guides and coach drivers to conduct real - time communication and to grasp the visitor flow vehicular flow on roads and in shops which will be conducive to the diversion of visitors
我們要拭目 以待，而我們會密切監察，但我們對九龍西區現時的擠塞問題是非常關注的。
We have to wait and see and we will monitor the situation closely . Yet we are deeply concerned about the traffic congestion in Kowloon West at present
不過，最重要是將旅客分流，這是重點所在。
No matter how diversion of visitors is the most important task
政府代表曾表示，擬把上述數個住宅區的部分旅客，分流至郵輪碼頭消費或光顧該處的食肆。
This is the key . Representatives of the Government have expressed the idea of diverting some of the visitors in the several residential areas mentioned to the cruise terminal so that visitors will do shopping and patronize the restaurants there
此舉原意是好的，但我希望政府仔細檢視現時在土瓜灣區的旅行團的消費模式，那些旅客的團費可能較為便宜，如他們到郵輪碼頭消費時，郵輪碼頭的設施定位、檔次是否真的合適呢？
The intention of this proposal is good yet I hope the Government will carefully examine the spending patterns of visitors now visiting To Kwa Wan . Since these visitors may be paying a relatively low fee for their tour if they are to do their spending at the cruise terminal will the positioning of the facilities and price ranges at the cruise terminal suit their needs?
當中一定要妥善協調，免得好心做壞事。
Proper coordination is required for the proposal lest this good intention backfires
第二，我想談談關於政府有需要加強促進旅遊業的執行力。
Second I would like to talk about the need for the Government to strengthen its execution capability in promoting tourism
我們希望政府可以提升旅遊事務署或有關專員的職能。
We hope the Government will enhance the functions of the Tourism Commission TC or the Commissioner concerned
此外，在推動旅遊業發展時，當局可扮演更積極有為的角色，按需要成立工作小組推動各項政策和措施，例如成立推動地區旅遊聚焦小組、文化創意產業小組等，與地區及不同持份者共議，多聆聽意見，並積極提出更多可行性的建議。
Moreover in the promotion of the development of the tourism industry the authorities may play a more proactive role . Working groups may be set up according to needs to promote various policies and measures . For instance focus groups on promoting district tourism and task forces on the cultural and creative industries may be set up to conduct discussions with district members and stakeholders to listen to more views and put forth more feasible proposals proactively
此外，旅遊事務署亦應建立相關的大數據，以了解旅客的行為和喜好，並分析區內和國際旅遊市場的發展形勢和政策措施，與時並進。
Furthermore TC should establish big data for relevant issues to understand the behaviour and preference of visitors and to analyse the development trend policies and measures within the region and in the global tourism market so as to keep abreast of the times
第三，是關於擴大客源方面的措施。
Third it is about measures for expanding visitor sources
我們要積極提升更多的旅遊景點。
We have to make proactive efforts to enhance and increase tourist attractions
現時外國很多地方或內地也興起一些主題旅遊產品，包括科技旅遊、體育旅遊、藝術旅遊、綠色生態旅遊、深度旅遊或體驗工作坊等。
At present in many places overseas as well as the Mainland products of thematic tourism have become popular . These tours include tech tours sports tours arts tours green and eco tours in - depth tours and experiential tours and so on
我曾聽聞九龍西一些專門製作旗袍的師父很想舉辦旗袍旅遊體驗，但欠缺支援。
I have heard that some master dressmakers of Qipao in Kowloon West are thinking about organizing Qipao experiential tours yet they lack support
就這些本土文化特色的體驗，政府如可透過政策和配套提供某程度的協助，便可大大推動本土文化。
Regarding the experience of these local cultural characteristics if the Government can offer assistance in some measure by means of policies and support arrangements it will greatly facilitate the promotion of local culture
至於地區旅遊方面，我常掛在嘴邊的是九龍城、油尖區和深水埗區，當中有很多值得我們珍惜的地方，亦有很多百年老店值得我們重視。
As for district tourism I often mentioned the cases of Kowloon City Yau Tsim Mong and Shum Shui Po as many places in these districts should be cherished and many century - old stores should be treasured
以深水埗為例，當中有家豆品店，現時有很多外國遊客也會特地到該店吃豆腐花。
In the case of Shum Shui Po for example there is a shop specialized in tofu snacks where many overseas visitors will pay a special visit for the tofu pudding
因此，接下來，深水埗區將設立深水埗時裝基地。
Hence in a short while a design and fashion hub will be set up in Shum Shui Po
在上次區議會會議時，我已經告訴局長，我希望時裝基地不僅局限於該地點，而可產生輻射效應，以至整個深水埗其他地點也 可受惠，使遊人不僅前往時裝基地，亦會參觀布街、鈕扣街等，推動更多旅遊項目。
At the last meeting of the District Council I told the Secretary my wish that the design and fashion hub would not be confined to the specified site but should bring about a radiation effect so that other locations in Shum Shui Po would also benefit . In this way visitors would not merely visit the design and fashion hub but also the cloth street and the button street thereby facilitating the development of more tourist options
最後，我認同邵家輝議員的說法，擴大客源，包括內地和海外遊客，一定可以為香港的旅遊、零售、飲食和運輸業，以及整體的經濟帶來裨益。
Finally I agree with Mr SHIU Ka - fai that the expansion of visitor sources including Mainland and overseas visitors will definitely benefit the tourism industry the retail industry the catering industry and the transport industry as well as the economy as a whole
我個人最着緊的是，廣深港高鐵未來落成後，當局會如何配合西九文化區的設施，讓境外遊客來到香港時，不單遊覽西九文化區，而是在西九文化區觀看粵劇後，會到深水埗吃"豬潤麵"，或再到九龍城訂製西裝。
I am most anxious about the arrangements made by the authorities for facilities at the West Kowloon Cultural District WKCD after the completion of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link in future . Such arrangements should incentivize inbound overseas visitors to visit other places in addition to WKCD . For instance after watching Cantonese opera at WKCD visitors may go to Shum Shui Po to have a bowl of pig liver noodle or go to Kowloon City to get a custom - made suit
由於議題獲得兩部分在席議員分別以過半數贊成，他於是宣布修正案獲得通過。
Since the question was agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present he therefore declared that the amendment was passed
林卓廷議員，由於姚思榮議員、田北辰議員及胡志偉議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting as the amendments of Mr YIU Si - wing Mr Michael TIEN and Mr WU Chi - wai have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經姚思榮議員、田北辰議員及胡志偉議員修正的邵家輝議員議案。
President I move that Mr SHIU Ka - fais motion as amended by Mr YIU Si - wing Mr Michael TIEN and Mr WU Chi - wai be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，感謝邵家輝議員提出這項很有意思的議案辯論："拉動內需 擴大客源"。
President I would like to thank Mr SHIU Ka - fai for proposing this meaningful motion Stimulating internal demand and opening up new visitor sources
在"拉動內需"方面，他在原議案提到政府的財政儲備豐裕，應還富於民，所以很多議員在辯論時也談到最近財政預算案的安排或應否"派錢"的問題。
As regards stimulating internal demand Mr SHIU stated in his original motion that given the Governments ample fiscal reserves it should return wealth to the people and thus a lot of Members have discussed in the debate the arrangements proposed in the latest Budget or whether or not cash handouts should be made
我不會討論這個部分，但他提到"還富於民"、"拉動內需"的大原則一定是對的。
I will not cover such topics . But the major principle of returning wealth to people and stimulating internal demand suggested by him is definitely correct
他在第二部分亦提到如何擴大客源，所以今天很多議員也特別談到旅遊業。
In the second half of his motion he mentioned how to open up new visitor sources; today many Members therefore have particularly spoken on the tourism industry
同樣地，"擴大客源"關乎香港如何吸引更多旅客及各類生意，這項大原則也一定是對的。
Likewise opening up new visitor sources is about how Hong Kong can attract more tourists and various kinds of business . And such a major principle must be correct as well
當然，當我們留意一系列的修正案及議員剛才的發言，大家也會發現當中其實帶出很多矛盾。
Of course having paid attention to a series of amendments and speeches made by Members just now Honourable colleagues would identify the many contradictions contained therein
剛才多位議員也提到作為彈丸之地，香港的承受能力始終有限，而以往我們也看到自由行的發展令很多地區出現問題。
Earlier in the debate many Members have mentioned that as a tiny place the capacity of Hong Kong is limited after all . We have already seen the development of the Individual Visit Scheme IVS causing problems to numerous districts
兩者應如何平衡和並存呢？
How can a balance be struck and coexistence achieved between the two aspects?
正如郭家麒議員的修正案提到，我們應否集中吸引不同國籍及消費模式的旅客來港呢？
As suggested in Dr KWOK Ka - kis amendment should we focus on attracting visitors of different nationalities and spending patterns to Hong Kong?
當然，在香港經濟最差的數年間，自由行對部分市民或商界有一定幫助，但它始終在很多方面也是一把"雙刃劍"。
Certainly during the few years when the economy of Hong Kong was at its worst IVS might have offered certain help to some people or the business sector but in many respects it is a double - edged sword
剛才大家也提到承受能力的問題，而有些修正案也提到應如何放寬措施，令更多內地旅客可以來港。
While Honourable colleagues have brought up the issue of capacity some amendments have discussed how to relax measures to attract more Mainland visitors to Hong Kong
香港現在討論的電子付費或電子支付，內地早已實行，因為我們只顧賺自由行旅客的錢。
The types of electronic payment under discussion in Hong Kong have already been implemented in the Mainland because we only care about earning money from IVS visitors
談過旅遊，在零售方面，商界又是否真的可以由衷地接受電子付費，以免訪港的內地遊客感到不便呢？
I have spoken on tourism . As regards the retail industry can the commercial sector accept electronic payment with genuine sincerity so as to save Mainland visitors to Hong Kong the inconvenience?
第三，在運輸方面可否進行改革？
Third can transport arrangements be revamped?
這樣如何談得上破格思維，又如何 創新呢？
Accordingly how can we talk about having an out - of - the - box mindset and how can innovation be made?
行業本身也要學習，不可只顧保障既得利益者的利益。
The industries have to learn that they cannot only protect the interests of those with vested interests
我們現在希望整體經濟得益，而非單單保障部分既得利益者。
Now we hope that the overall economy will be benefited not that only some parties with vested interests will be protected
否則，即使我們能擴大客源，又是否真的能令零售和運輸等行業得益呢？
Otherwise even if we can open up new visitor sources can the retail and transport industries etc . be benefited?
主席，我發言支持今天的原議案。
President I rise to speak in support of the original motion today
就原議案提出的議題，我想集中討論旅遊方面的問題。
As regards the issues presented in the original motion I wish to focus my discussion on issues relating to tourism
我的黨友林健鋒議員就議案提出了修正案，當中所有的內容同樣支持議案提出的方向。
My party comrade Mr Jeffrey LAM has proposed an amendment to the motion and it content - wise also supports the direction proposed in the motion
我剛才聽到很多同事提及在長遠的規劃上，如何可以令我們的配套做得更好。
Just now I heard many Honourable colleagues talk about how the supporting facilities and measures can be better implemented in long - term planning
但是，我現在想說的是，我們有很多很好的資源都被浪費了，如果政府願意在政策上做好一點，其實已經能夠即時改善很多問題。
However now I wish to say that a lot of our good resources have been wasted . If the Government is willing to do better in terms of policy many problems can instantly be ameliorated
我認為在旅遊方面，很重要的是暢達性、可觀性、舒適度，以及消費點能夠適合不同年齡人士，令香港成為好客之都，使來港消費的旅客玩得開心。
I consider that in terms of tourism the crucial factors are accessibility appeal comfort and shopping spots that are suitable for all ages . All of this can help make Hong Kong a hospitable city and give pleasure and enjoyment to visitors who come to Hong Kong for spending
香港最寶貴的資源之一當然莫過於維多利亞港。
One of the most precious resources of Hong Kong is the Victoria Harbour
說到暢達性，我們最近在區議會幾乎達成一致的意見，也就是不同意見也提到，啟德郵輪碼頭最大的浪費便是土地。
On the subject of accessibility we have recently come to an almost unanimous opinion in the District Council that as stated in various views the greatest waste of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is land
所以，這方面一定要多想想如何盡用該地方，無論在旅遊或交通方面，政府也要思考一下。
Therefore in this respect the Government must contemplate how to better utilize the location both in terms of tourism and transport
其中我們曾提到要好好善用水上交通。
In this connection we have made a suggestion about capitalizing on waterborne transport
據聞啟德郵輪碼頭附近的碼頭，只要投資300萬元，便可啟動舢舨服務，但一直未能推行。
It is reported that an investment of 3 million only is needed to operate a sampan service at the pier near Kai Tak Cruise Terminal but it has not been put into action
我們認為"水上的士"的概念應盡快落實，希望由啟德郵輪碼頭可前往紅磡海濱該處幾經艱辛由荒地變成十分漂亮的紅磡海濱如何可以從啟德郵輪碼頭前往尖沙咀，以及打通西九文化區？
We hold that the concept of water taxis should be implemented as soon as possible so that hopefully it will be possible to travel from Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to the waterfront of Hung Hom―which has been arduously transformed from a piece of wasteland into a gorgeous waterfront . How can one get to Tsim Sha Tsui from Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and how can it be linked up with the West Kowloon Cultural District?
紅磡碼頭又是另一個經典例子。
The Hung Hom Ferry Pier is yet another typical example
渡輪在2011年取消後，碼頭一直荒棄至今。
Since the cessation of ferry services in 2011 the pier has been abandoned
其實，如果可以活化碼頭，首先容許區內一些小買賣進行，又或讓當地的藝術家甚至飲食業營運，像以前的卜公碼頭般，從而善用地方，但現在卻不是，碼頭只是被丟棄，人人路經該處也不禁會問香港為甚麼如此浪費？
In fact if it is possible to revitalize the pier by first allowing some small businesses in the district to be conducted there or local artists or even the catering industry to operate there in a fashion similar to the former Blake Pier such that the location can be put to better use . But it is not the case now . The pier has just been discarded
因此，政府的腦袋可否活化我們不但要活化碼頭，包括啟德郵輪碼頭和紅磡碼頭，還有在整體政策上，需要做的不是提供一二百萬元的補貼，那不是最重要，而是在政策上如何容許一些較好的做法，例如在廣告政策上，如果碼頭有飲食業，很多人便自然會前往該處，渡輪也自然會有很多人乘搭。
We need to revitalize not only the piers namely Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and Hung Hom Ferry Pier but also the overall policy . What needs to be done is not the provision of subsidies of 1 million or 2 million . That is not the most important for the most important point is to accommodate some better practices such as advertising policy - wise
又例如灣仔北，現時已經展開海濱城市設計的諮詢，為何九龍西紅磡海濱至尖沙咀，一直只是一條長廊，政府有否考慮可加入甚麼文化元素呢？
Another example is Wan Chai North and the consultation on the urban design study for the harbourfront area has commenced . Why has there always been just a promenade from the waterfront of West Kowloon and Hung Hom to Tsim Sha Tsui? . Has the Government considered adding any cultural feature to it?
在多元化的主題區方面，如何可以進行適合的水上運動？
With regard to a diversified theme zone how can arrangements be made to cater for suitable water sports?
這樣，整個區域便會變得很有生氣。
In such a way the entire area will become very lively
再者，我們一直也有一個夢想。
Moreover we always have a dream
如果將來真的打通九龍東西的海濱，能否在兩旁種植不同顏色的花朵或植物？
If the waterfronts of the east and west of Kowloon are truly linked up can multi - coloured flowers and plants be grown on both sides?
政府可以參考外國的海濱，且看看外國的海濱沿途，例如澳洲或其他地方的飲食業經營得相當蓬勃。
The Government can draw reference from waterfronts in foreign places and study what they have set up along the waterfronts . For example the catering industry has proliferated along the waterfront in Australia or other places
政府明白市民對美好生活有所期盼，因此政府一直致力改善民生和推動經濟發展。
The Government appreciates the public aspiration for a better life . Hence the Government has always endeavoured to improve peoples livelihood and promote economic development
近年，社會面對不同的挑戰，市民對政府的期望亦不斷轉變。
In recent years society as a whole has risen to various challenges whereas public expectations of the Government keep changing
有不少市民認為政府應該做到"適度有為"，更積極地推動經濟多元發展，提供更好的營商環境，藉此為不同階層的市民提供更多就業機會，讓廣大的市民和業界更容易受惠。
Many citizens consider the Government should be appropriately proactive in governance making more proactive efforts to promote diversified economic development and provide a better business environment so as to provide more employment opportunities for people from various social strata and facilitate the general public and the industries in benefiting from it
政府近年不斷增撥資源，改善教育、醫療衞生和社會福利等民生服務。
The Government has been increasing resource allocation in recent years to enhance services related to peoples livelihood such as education medical and health care and welfare
在2018-2019年度，我們在這3個民生範疇的經常開支預算超過2,300億元，共佔政府經常開支約六成。
In 2018 - 2019 the estimated recurrent expenditure on these three livelihood areas exceeds 230 billion which accounts for around 60 % of the recurrent expenditure of the Government
最近5年，這3個經常開支範疇的累積增幅達42.8%。
In the past five years the cumulative increase in recurrent expenditure on these three areas amounted to 42.8 %
在2017年10月的施政報告中，行政長官就扶貧、安老、助弱、房屋等其他有關民生方面的課題提出新措施，例如推出"免入息審查的公共交通費用補貼計劃"及改善"低收入在職家庭津貼計劃"等。
In the Policy Address presented in October 2017 the Chief Executive has proposed new measures on other livelihood - related areas including poverty alleviation elderly care support for the disadvantaged and housing . These measures include the introduction of a non - means - tested Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme and enhancement of the Low - income Working Family Allowance Scheme and so on
財政司司長在上月發表的財政預算案中，亦在確保提供足夠資源落實施政報告的各項措施之餘，同時善用盈餘，推出多項利民惠民及改善營商的財政措施。
In the Budget announced last month the Financial Secretary ensured that adequate resources would be provided for the implementation of various measures proposed in the Policy Address and that the surplus would be used properly to introduce additional financial measures benefiting the public and enhancing the business environment
事實上，要推動內部需求，最根本的做法是刺激經濟增長。
Actually in stimulating internal demand the fundamental approach is to stimulate economic growth
面對經濟轉型和全球競爭的新形勢，本屆政府將大力發展傳統產業以外的新興產業，包括創意產業，以推動經濟增長及為青年人創造更優質的就業機會。
In the face of economic restructuring and the new landscape in global competition the Government of this term will endeavour to promote the development of emerging industries in addition to conventional industries which include the creative industries to give impetus to economic growth and create quality employment opportunities for young people
政府會投入資源加強創新及科技發展，包括為大學預留研究資金、為企業研發開支提供稅務優惠、培育創科人才、吸引海外頂級科研機構落戶香港等。
The Government will commit resources to reinforcing development in innovation and technology which includes setting aside funding for university research offering tax concession for RD expenditure for enterprises nurturing talents in innovation and technology and striving to attract overseas top scientific research institutions to Hong Kong and so on
此外，香港現時有超過33萬家中小企業，佔本地企業總數逾98%，可說是我們經濟的支柱。
Moreover there are over 330 000 small and medium enterprises SMEs in Hong Kong at present which constitute over 98 % of the total number of local business establishments . They may be regarded as our major economic pillar
