我們有時候未必常常提到，但往往反而在國際場合或企業層面上，很多企業和經貿活動選擇香港，是因為香港確實仍然有一些獨特的地位是不能代替的，包括憲法賦予我們的獨特經貿、金融地位。
We may not talk about them very often but they are precisely why in the international or business arena many enterprises or trade activities have chosen their destinations in Hong Kong . Hong Kong does have certain unique statuses that are irreplaceable including the unique economic trade and financial position conferred upon Hong Kong by the Constitution
雖然是不能代替，但必須要自我督促，繼續進步，否則不進則退。
Although they are irreplaceable we must keep pushing ourselves for improvement to avoid falling back
這樣才能令我們成為最開放、最具競爭力的中心。
This is how Hong Kong can emerge as the most open and competitive centre
香港於這段時間內所佔的份額看似是小了，但其實透過種種具體的措施，是不斷鞏固和優化香港的地位。
During this period the market share of Hong Kong may seem to have reduced but in fact we have taken various specific measures to consolidate and strengthen Hong Kongs position
第一，在我們和內地所簽訂的CEPA，剛才很多議員也有提及，我們不單是在10多年前已經簽訂這份協議，而且每年都會更新及優化。
Firstly regarding CEPA signed with the Mainland which was mentioned by many Members just now while it was entered into more than a decade ago updates and enhancements will be made every year
剛才謝偉銓議員特別提到例如對專業服務協議的優化，而容海恩議員於昨天和今天亦有提到這方面。
Just now Mr Tony TSE specifically mentioned improving professional service agreements which Ms YUNG Hoi - yan also touched on in her speeches made yesterday and today
CEPA除了是一份框架性協議，但實質是我們每年會就不同行業更新，目的是希望香港能夠在內地市場發展有很好的准入，以及有最大的空間，並得到法律上的保障。
CEPA is a framework agreement but actually there will be annual updates in the light of different industries to facilitate the access of Hong Kong enterprises to the Mainland market for development and provide them with the greatest possible room and legal protection
這是年復年的增長，亦可以說是最大的增長。
This year - to - year growth can be said to be significant
第二方面，除了CEPA之外，我們不單簽訂了一份 貿易協議，在短短的4年間，我們把與外地簽訂的自由貿易協議翻了一番，由當時的4份到現屆政府的8份，涉及的經濟體達到3倍，共有20個。
Secondly CEPA is not the only trade agreement that we have signed . The number of free trade agreements FTAs entered into between Hong Kong and overseas places has doubled in a span of four short years from four in the past to eight for the current - term Government and the number of signing economies involved has increased by three times to a total of 20
我們亦可以看到，雖然今時今日面對全球疫情或通關困難也好，香港仍有超過9,000間外國公司以香港作為區域總部或區域辦事處，當中首5位的排名也反映大家剛才所討論的情況。
As we can see despite the global epidemic situation and difficulties in resuming traveller clearance there are still over 9 000 overseas companies setting up their regional headquarters or regional offices in Hong Kong and the top five overseas companies have reflected the situation discussed by Members earlier
首5位已由以往以歐美公司為主，轉移到第一位是內地公司，而內地公司並不單是由於位處同一國家之內，而是能夠透過香港為其在全球或區域內作定位。
While the top five origins used to be European and American companies the first place is now taken up by the Mainland . Apart from the consideration of being in the same country another reason is because Mainland companies can position themselves globally or regionally through Hong Kong
第二位是日本，反映香港在區域內所發揮的連繫作用，尤其是透過香港與例如東盟國家的連繫。
In the second place is Japan which shows that Hong Kong is playing the linking role especially linking with member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN
至於第五位是新加坡，同樣反映香港與新加坡之間既有競爭，亦有合作。
The fact that Singapore ranked fifth also reflects that there are both competition and cooperation between Hong Kong and Singapore
因此，在這方面，我們看到是有實質進展。
All in all real progress is evident in this regard
至於貿易方面，出現了很獨特的情況。
There is a unique observation in respect of trade
這亦引證我剛才所言，與香港簽訂自由貿易協定的地方，例如內地，我們的年增長是超過7%。
This supports my earlier remark that places that have signed FTAs with Hong Kong such as the Mainland have an annual trade growth of over 7 %
就東盟而言，自從香港與之簽訂自由貿易協定的4年來，平均每年增長亦達6.9%，這引證了以上的工作帶來實質的好處。
With regard to ASEAN the annual trade growth in the four years after signing FTA with Hong Kong also reached 6.9 % on average . This proves that the above mentioned efforts have brought real benefits
各位議員亦提到不同界別的情況，陳健波議員提到要為保險業謀求機會。
Members have also touched on the situation of different sectors and Mr CHAN Kin - por highlighted the need to seek opportunities for the insurance industry
就我所見，在昨天的另一場辯論中，財經事務及庫務局的回應不單提到要為保險業在內地爭取市場，亦希望香港可發揮風險管理中心的功能。
I noticed that in the reply given by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau in another debate yesterday he stated that while it was important to capture the Mainland market for the insurance industry it also hoped that Hong Kong could perform the function of a risk management centre
由於香港的保險密度是世界第二，亞洲第一，香港可以透過保險業，促進並加強我們成為國際風險管理中心的地位，我相信 這方面或多或少回應了陳健波議員或陳振英議員所提出的關注。
Given that the insurance density of Hong Kong is Asias number one and worlds number two we can promote and enhance our status as an international risk management centre with the help of the insurance industry . I think this has more or less addressed the concerns of Mr CHAN Kin - por or Mr CHAN Chun - ying
這亦引證在內循環中，我們可以發揮的地位。
This is an example showing how we can play a role in the domestic circulation
我亦想回應劉國勳議員剛才特別提及的河套區，這是我們重點發展的區域。
Also I would like to respond to Mr LAU Kwok - fans special concern over the Loop area which is our key development area
我們希望透過中央支持，加上與深圳的相互合作，可以利用這個園區聯繫全球頂尖的企業，推動研發機構及高等院校的合作，希望園區預計在2024年至2027年分期落成時，能有所進展。
With the support of the Central Authorities and our cooperation with Shenzhen we seek to make use of the zone to liaise with the worlds top enterprises and promote cooperation between research and tertiary institutions . It is hoped that progress can be made when the zone is completed in phases between 2024 and 2027
剛才姚思榮議員亦提及現時備受打擊的旅遊業。
Just now Mr YIU Si - wing also referred to the hard - hit tourism industry
就這方面，我們的工作沒有因疫情而停下，反而無論是與內地溝通，透過國家文化和旅遊部對大灣區的規劃，或透過香港旅遊發展局在這段期間內繼續維持和鞏固香港的品牌。
In this regard we have never stopped promoting the industry despite the epidemic . We have communicated with the Mainland and through the planning of GBA formulated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the efforts of the Hong Kong Tourism Board strived to maintain and reinforce the brand of Hong Kong during this period
我們希望透過"一程多站"，與內地發展，以至大灣區旅遊，希望成為疫情後帶動經濟復蘇的一個重要方向。
We hope that the promotion of multi - destination tourism and the development of tourism activities in cooperation with the Mainland and GBA will become a strong momentum driving the post - pandemic economic recovery
廖長江議員提出的議案題目，以及剛才葉劉淑儀議員及林健鋒議員均有提到的是年青人利用大灣區發展，而我相信這亦是很多議員一直希望提升的範疇。
The motion of Mr Martin LIAO and the earlier speeches of Mrs Regina IP and Mr Jeffrey LAM all mentioned that young people should seek development in GBA . I believe this is the area that many Members wish to enhance
雖然在議會上討論過的議題很多都耳熟能詳，但對年青人而言，他們尚未進入職場，確實未必能完全了解內地的情況。
Although matters that have been discussed in the Council are familiar to us young people who have not entered the job market may not fully understand the situation in the Mainland
因此，在他們在學期間，政府近年已加緊加強和深化學生對內地的認識，透過國民教育，安排學生到內地學習及參觀訪問。
Therefore the Government has stepped up its efforts in recent years to enhance and deepen students understanding of the Mainland and through national education arrange study tours and visits to the Mainland
近年來，正如議員亦有引述，我們亦透過青年發展基金推行粵港澳大灣區青年創業資助計劃。
As mentioned by Members in the past few years we have also launched the Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
這是一個實質的計劃，讓年青人無論是透過非政府機構或企業的幫助，取得實際前往大灣區工作的經驗。
This is a specific scheme which allows young people to gain practical work experience in GBA with the assistance of non - governmental organizations or enterprises
配合近年無論是初創、文化、藝術或創意產業等方面的發展，其實大灣區已提供非常好的機會。
GBA has indeed provided excellent opportunities for the development of start - ups or culture arts and creative industries over the past few years
主席，凡此種種，我相信今天的討論並不是一個終結，可能是一個新的開始。
President to conclude I believe our discussion today is not the end but probably a new start
我在開始發言時談到，內地和香港的發展這個話題正正就是我們現時面對的3個最大的挑戰，可能是全球、區域、國家或香港。
As I mentioned at the beginning of my speech when we speak of the development of the Mainland and Hong Kong we cannot but discuss the three major challenges facing the world the region the country and Hong Kong
這3個挑戰分別是：第一是疫情。
The first challenge is the epidemic
通關及接種疫苗當然是我們自身必須要做的，但如何才能好好掌握香港在應對疫情較為成熟和穩定的時候，繼續利用這種優勢，將會是特區政府各個政策局之間合作的重要話題，既要防疫，但亦要重新建立經濟動力。
Traveller clearance and vaccination are surely what we should do . And yet how Hong Kong can continue to leverage our advantages and properly seize the opportunities presented when the combat of the epidemic has reached a mature stage and the epidemic situation has stabilized will be an important agenda item concerning the cooperation of Policy Bureaux of the SAR Government . We will have to prevent the epidemic while regaining the economic momentum
第二個最大的挑戰，是多位議員提到的全球政經大局，尤其是在個別國家的保護主義，甚至挑起貿易矛盾，確實拖累全球經濟復蘇。
The second major challenge is the global politico - economic situation as mentioned by many Members . In particular the practice of protectionism and even the provocation of trade conflicts by certain countries did hold back economic recovery around the world
就這方面，香港除了會繼續據理力爭，維護我們的權益外，亦會繼續參與無論是國家或區域以至全球的多邊貿易討論，以爭取減少貿易壁壘，恢復國際之間的貿易合作。
In view of this Hong Kong will keep fighting our corner and defending our interests . We will also continue to participate in multilateral trade discussions at the national regional or global level with a view to reducing trade barriers and restoring international trade cooperation
第三個挑戰是如何在後疫情時期，在剛才提及的疫情、保護主義或國際矛盾下，重拾具包容性和可持續的經濟發展動力，在這方面，大家剛才給予政府的所有意見，都豐富了這項策略的重點。
The third challenge is how to regain inclusive and sustainable economic development momentum amid the epidemic protectionism and international conflicts as mentioned earlier . In this connection all the advice that Members have given to the Government has enriched the strategy concerned
中國是世界上第二大的經濟體，亦是人口最多的國家，根據世界經濟論壇2019年的統計，中國的GDP佔全球約五分之一，市場規模之大已是不爭的事實。
China is the second largest economy in the world with the largest population . According to the statistics of the World Economic Forum in 2019 Chinas GDP accounts for around one - fifth of the worlds GDP and the size of the market is indisputable
國家的經濟強大實力，以及其經貿及全球發展策略，對香港作為國家最開放的金融、貿易、物流航運中心的功能和地位，至為重要。
The remarkable economic performance of the country as well as its economic trade and global development strategies are crucial to Hong Kongs function and status as the countrys most liberal financial trading logistics and shipping centre
更重要的是，內地的經濟結構，在過去尤其是在開放改革40年以來，一直有長足進步。
More importantly the economic structure of the Mainland has made substantial improvements in the past especially in the 40 years of reform and opening up
過往國家的經濟透過開放改革、拓展貿易的帶動下，就好像剛才廖議員所說，是由外轉內，近年個人消費佔經濟的比重不斷增加。
In the past the countrys economy was driven by reform and opening up as well as trade development and as Mr LIAO has said earlier it has shifted from externally - oriented to internally - oriented . In recent years the share of individual consumption in its economy has been increasing
換句話說，國家開始逐步和全面地富裕起來，中產人數亦大幅上升。
In other words the country is getting rich gradually and generally with the number of middle - class people increasing significantly
最近有智庫研究顯示，現時內地佔全球中產人口達五分之一，這正好引證內地消費急增，成為全球注視的龐大和興旺市場。
As shown in a recent think - tank study the current middle - class population in the Mainland accounts for one - fifth of that in the world which precisely proves the rapid growth of consumption in the Mainland making it a huge and blooming market which draws global attention
縱然疫情對全球經濟造成沉重打擊，沒有一個國家或地方能免受疫情沖擊，但國家的防疫抗疫工作適切有效，成績斐然。
The world economy has been hard hit by the pandemic sparing no country or place . However the countrys efforts in disease control and prevention have been proper and effective and have yielded remarkable results
去年內地亦是全球極少數能保持正增長的經濟體。
Last year the Mainland was one of the very few economies in the world which managed to maintain positive economic growth
世界銀行最近公布，預測中國內地今年經濟增長達8.5%，遠高於全球的平均數，個人消費的增長亦達到11.5%。
As recently announced by the World Bank the economic growth of the Mainland of China this year is predicted to be 8.5 % which is significantly higher than the global average; the growth in individual consumption also reaches 11.5 %
從全球經濟發展的格局來看，中國就是"火車頭"，是經濟復蘇動力的主要來源。
In the context of global economic development China is the locomotive and the main source of momentum for economic recovery
國家的發展策略也正正體現了中國經濟發展的進程和需要。
The development strategies of the country aptly demonstrate the progress and needs of the economic development of China
在《十四五規劃綱要》的框架下，國家提出了"雙循環"策略，再配合如"一帶一路"倡議及粵港澳大灣區建設，為內地企業締造更好的發展條件，一方面"走出去"拓展國際間的市場，吸納全球的投資，另一方面透過提升自身的實力，維持本身、區域，以至全球的經濟增長。
Under the framework of the 14th Five - Year Plan the country has proposed the dual circulation strategy . This together with the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA will create more favourable development conditions for the enterprises in the Mainland . On the one hand these enterprises can go global to develop an international dimension to their business operations and attract investments from the rest of the world
上述一系列的開放措施，包括開放改革、創新自主、互通共融的經貿大政，既是國家進一步邁向富強的大道，亦是全球面對後疫情嚴峻經濟挑戰，以及保護主義復辟下，國家可以作出的正面和負責任的對應。
On the other hand they maintain their own regional as well as global economic growth through enhancing their own strengths . The aforesaid series of liberalization measures including the major economic and trade policies of opening up and reform home - grown and indigenous innovation as well as mutual access and integration are not only a way for the country to further develop its wealth and strength but also a positive and responsible response which can be made by the country to the immense post - pandemic economic challenges faced by the world and the resurgence of protectionism
《十四五規劃綱要》下強調的"雙循環"發展格局將進一步推動內地的貿易及消費增長，為企業提供更大和更多的商機。
The development pattern featuring dual circulation highlighted in the 14th Five - Year Plan will further drive the growth of trade and consumption in the Mainland providing greater and more business opportunities for enterprises
因此，我很同意廖長江議員建議香港必須把握國家"雙循環"帶來的機遇，更深、更廣、更全面地融入國家的發展大局，使香港既有所得益，亦可以作出貢獻。
For this reason I strongly agree with the proposal of Mr Martin LIAO that Hong Kong must seize the opportunities arising from the countrys dual circulation to integrate into the overall development of the country more deeply extensively and comprehensively so that Hong Kong can both benefit from and contribute to it
香港作為內地最緊密的經濟夥伴，一直緊貼內地的發展並從中發掘互惠雙贏的商機，特區政府也一直從政策層面和實質措施上予以配 合和支援。
Being the closest economic partner of the Mainland Hong Kong has been closely following the development of the Mainland and exploring win - win business opportunities therein . Also the SAR Government has been providing support and assistance through concrete measures at the policy level
回顧現屆政府於過往4年每一份的施政報告及財政預算案中，都有提出新的政策、行動和支援措施，在不同範疇與內地加強合作，目的都是為港商締造最佳的條件，從而開拓內地以至國際的商貿商機。
In each of the policy addresses and budgets prepared by the current - term Government over the past four years there were always new policies actions and support measures to strengthen cooperation with the Mainland in different areas with an aim of creating the best conditions for Hong Kong enterprises to develop business opportunities in the Mainland as well as internationally
這些措施亦有在戰雲密布的中美貿易戰之間提出，讓企業和內地共同應對越來越不友善的貿易環境，包括開拓和深化內循環的市場，以及更積極開拓周邊地區和內地之間的經貿往來連繫。
These measures were also proposed in the midst of an imminent United States - China trade war so that enterprises and the Mainland could jointly cope with the increasingly hostile trade environment . These measures include exploring and deepening the domestic circulation market as well as exploring economic and trade ties between neighbouring regions and the Mainland more proactively
這些措施更在全球疫情肆虐、帶來非常大的衝擊和逆境之下，希望可以轉危為機，否極泰來，支持企業渡過難關，並且繼續"走出去"。
It is hoped that these measures can turn risks into opportunities facilitate a rebound and help enterprises tide over the difficult time and continue to go global amid the rampant global epidemic which has brought tremendous blows and adversities
最重要的是，這些措施能讓我們把握國家給予我們，以及香港可以跟國家一起共同締造的商機。
Most importantly these measures will enable us to seize the business opportunities offered by the country and created jointly by Hong Kong and the country
一方面，我們不斷強化香港作為國家重要大門的角色，協助企業"走出去"和把外資"引進來"；另一方面，我們透過與更多其他海外經濟體簽訂自由貿易、投資及避免雙重課稅等協議，以及推廣、宣傳，鞏固香港作為國際貿易及投資樞紐的地位及開展"一帶一路"沿線市場的首選平台。
On the one hand we have continued to strengthen Hong Kongs role as the countrys key gateway assisting enterprises in going global and attracting foreign capital . On the other hand we have reinforced Hong Kongs status as an international trade and investment hub and the preferred platform for developing markets along the Belt and Road through signing free trade investment and avoidance of double taxation agreements with more overseas economies as well as promotion and publicity
與此同時，我們亦利用《內地與香港關於建立更緊密經貿關係的安排》，向國家爭取更開放的措施，便利港商繼續進軍內地市場。
In the meantime we have taken advantage of the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement CEPA to seek more liberalization measures from the country to facilitate Hong Kong enterprises to continue to venture into the Mainland market
這些措施涵蓋專業服務、貨物貿易，以及不同產業，包括旅遊、電影電視製作、出版等。
These measures cover professional services trade in goods and various industries including tourism production of films and television programme and publishing
此外，本屆政府亦多番優化各項支援企業的措施，以商務及經濟發展局轄下的BUD專項基金及中小企業市場推廣基金為例，我們大幅注資超過70億元，幫助企業升級轉型、拓展和推廣業務。
Besides the current - term Government has also repeatedly enhanced various measures for supporting enterprises . Taking the Dedicated Fund on Branding Upgrading and Domestic Sales the BUD Fund and the SME Export Marketing Fund under the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau CEDB as examples we have injected a substantial amount of over 7 billion to help enterprises upgrade and restructure expand and promote their businesses
大灣區的建設亦是今屆政府的工作重點。
The development of GBA is also the focus of work of the current - term Government
自2017年，粵港澳政府和國家發展和改革委員會簽訂合作框架後，我們在每一份施政報告及財政預算案內均有提出一些針對性措施，支援香港企業開拓這個有超過7,000萬人口的市場，繼而利用大灣區為切入點，進軍內地更龐大、擁有14億人口的市場。
Since the signing of the framework for cooperation between the Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao governments and the National Development and Reform Commission in 2017 we have proposed some targeted measures in each policy address and budget to support Hong Kong enterprises in tapping into this market of over 70 million people and then using GBA as the entry point to venture into the Mainlands even larger market of 1.4 billion people
我們今年亦特別提供額外撥款，資助香港貿易發展局在6月份推展"GoGBA"一站式數碼平台及在深圳設立"香港貿發局大灣區服務中心"，為港商提供全方位支援，這些都是眾多具體例子之一。
This year we have also provided additional funding subsidizing the Hong Kong Trade Development Council HKTDC to launch the one - stop digital GoGBA platform in June and establish the HKTDC Greater Bay Area Centre in Shenzhen to provide comprehensive support to Hong Kong enterprises . These are some of the many concrete examples
大家看到上述的措施都不是一蹴而就，亦不能閉門造車。
We can see that the aforesaid measures cannot be done overnight or behind closed doors
從實際經驗中，我清楚記得很多具體政策都是和業界反覆商量、共同策劃的合作成果，亦在這議會上推敲討論，繼而獲得立法會的廣泛支持，並在資源配合下才能夠推行。
I clearly remember from my actual experience that many concrete policies were the result of repeated discussions and joint planning with the industry . The Legislative Council has also thought over it before being implemented with the extensive support of the Legislative Council and resources support
主席，我感謝廖長江議員提出"積極把握國家'雙循環'新發展格局，振興疫後經濟"議案。
President I appreciate Mr Martin LIAO for his proposal of the motion Actively seizing the opportunities arising from the countrys new development pattern featuring dual circulation to revitalize the post - pandemic economy
疫情已持續一年半，振興疫後經濟的工作多不勝數，因此最好有周詳計劃、藍圖及行動綱領。
Given that the epidemic situation has persisted for already one and a half years and there is countless work on revitalizing the post - pandemic economy we should better draw up comprehensive plans blueprints and action plans
眾所周知，香港作為外向型經濟，受外國經濟走勢影響。
As everyone knows Hong Kong as an externally oriented economy is under the influence of foreign economic trend
現時有更多傳播力更強的病毒變種面世，大家都沒有水晶球可預測疫情何時能完全受控。
With the emergence of virus variants of higher transmissibility no one has a crystal ball to predict when the epidemic will be fully under control
正所謂"有危便有機"，世界各地都在思考一個問題，就是想辦法跟疫情共存而同時抓緊重啟經濟活動的步伐。
As the saying goes In every crisis there lies opportunities . People around the world are thinking about the same thing ie . how to co - exist with the epidemic while grasping the pace of restarting economic activities at the same time
環顧世界各地，我認為作為國際金融中心的香港是塊福地，因為我們是國家不可分離的一部分，有背靠祖國的優勢。
Looking around the world I think that Hong Kong as an international financial centre is a piece of blessed land . We are an inseparable part of the country and have the advantage of having the Motherland as our hinterland
再加上國家提出"雙循環"相互促進新發展格局，我們既是擴大內需的參與者，於國際市場亦有着不可替代的"中介人"地位。
Coupled with the fact that the country has put forward the new development pattern featuring dual circulation which enables domestic and foreign markets to interact positively with each other we have therefore become the participant in the expansion of domestic demand and an irreplaceable intermediary in the international markets
香港做好"引進來，走出去"的雙重角色，未來經濟發展機遇將會無限。
Hong Kong will have unlimited opportunities for economic development ahead if it can perform well its dual role of attracting foreign investment and going global
因此，社會各界一定要用好"一國兩制"優勢，而政府當局亦要有更多具體政策措施，例如特殊政策及稅務優惠，以支持"香港製造"品牌，主打綠色金融科技產業參與國家"雙循環"。
While various sectors in society must leverage the advantages under one country two systems the Administration should also introduce more specific policy measures eg . special policies and tax concessions to support the Made in Hong Kong branding featuring green financial technology industry in participating in the countrys dual circulation
更具體而言，各界應該以大灣區作為切入點，服務好這個有7,000萬人口的市場，互惠互利，做到雙贏的局面。
More specifically various sectors should take the Greater Bay Area GBA as an entry point and serve this market of 70 million people well so as to reap mutual benefits and achieve a win - win situation
與此同時，國家"十四五"規劃亦為香港經濟發展的升級增值指明方向，首次為香港設立4個新興中心或地位定位，其中包括支持香港建設國際創新科技中心。
Meanwhile the National 14th Five - Year Plan has also set a clear direction for Hong Kongs economic development to upgrade and move up the value chain . For the first time it establishes four emerging centres or status for Hong Kong including the support for Hong Kong to develop into an international innovation and technology hub
如果想成為幸運兒便不要再猶豫和觀望，要盡快行動，接種疫苗。
Whoever wants to be the lucky one should not hesitate and wait anymore and act quickly to get vaccinated
就最近有國家不再採取"清零"的抗疫路線便放寬防疫措施，我認為香港要繼續緊守抗疫防線而不應該作出任何放寬措施，原因是若有任何一個環節出現缺口，讓傳染力更高的變種病毒乘虛而入，便會出現災難性後果，屆時不知道要用多少倍時間才可以令疫情回穩。
Recently a country no longer adopts the anti - epidemic line of zero infection and relaxes its anti - epidemic measures . I nonetheless think that Hong Kong should hold firm to our line of defence against the epidemic without relaxing any of such measures . In case the virus variants of higher transmissibility strike once we relax our vigilance and create loopholes in any part this will take a heavy toll and no one knows how long it will take by then to stabilize the epidemic again
我想強調，鑒於內地和香港的疫情相對平穩，我們要重啟疫後經濟便要集中火力，優先爭取盡快跟內地恢復免檢疫通關。
I want to stress that given the relatively stable epidemic situation in the Mainland and Hong Kong we have to focus our strength on restarting the post - pandemic economy by according priority to expeditiously striving the resumption of quarantine free traveller clearance with the Mainland . Taking GBA as the first choice gives no cause for criticism
以大灣區為首選是無可厚非的做法，我希望社會各界朝這目標共同努力。
I hope that various sectors in society will work together towards this goal
主席，這次新冠疫情對香港經濟帶來重大衝擊，同時突顯了香港經濟的弱點。
President the COVID - 19 epidemic has dealt a heavy blow to the economy of Hong Kong and at the same time highlighted the shortcomings of the Hong Kong economy
在疫情下，很多基層、前線員工及中小企的老闆都捱得很辛苦，但亦有個別行業賺到盤滿缽滿，而大部分中產則安然無恙，這些情景正好反映香港經濟產業嚴重傾斜、整體競爭力已經大不如前，還有貧富懸殊的問題。
Under the epidemic while many grass roots frontline workers and SME owners have had a very hard time some individual industries are making handsome gains and most middle - class people are safe and sound . This scenario precisely reflects the seriously lopsided development of Hong Kongs economic industries the significant deterioration of its overall competitiveness and the problem of disparity between the rich and the poor
