香港過去依賴的部分產業，例如金融業、地產業，均可能令社會貧富懸殊大幅加劇。
The industries that Hong Kong has long relied upon including the financial and real estate industries might be the cause of the worsening wealth disparity
雖然政府早在2016年的施政報告已提出再工業化的主張，但一直蹉跎時間，未見顯著成效。
Even though the idea of re - industrialization was first proposed early in the 2016 Policy Address the Government has then been wasting time and failed to make any significant achievements
環顧世界各地成功再工業化的例子，除了內地外，便要數以色列及新加坡等國家，他們均有訂定全盤支援再工業化的政策。
Looking at the successful examples around the world apart from the Mainland we have Israel and Singapore . They have all formulated policies to support re - industrialization in a holistic manner
我認為，如果特區政府希望未來能在再工業化方面取得一定成效，應該處理3個核心問題，包括"定指標"、"選產業"及"設補貼"。
If the SAR Government wants to make some achievements in re - industrialization there are three core issues that must be dealt with namely setting targets identifying industries and providing subsidies
在新加坡、以色列、瑞士、德國和奧地利等地，製造業普遍佔當地GDP逾20%，甚至接近30%。
For example in Singapore Israel Switzerland Germany and Austria the manufacturing sector generally contributes some 20 % or even close to 30 % to GDP
明確來說，政府是否可以訂立製造業佔本地生產總值的目標百分比？
To be specific can the Government set a target percentage for the contribution of manufacturing to GDP?
有了指標後，我們便有更明確的目標，可推動和鞭策特區政府這方面的工作。
With this target in place there will be more specific goals to drive the work of the SAR Government in this respect
然而，我必須強調，訂立相關指標是為了鞭策政府推動行業發展及量度相關績效，所以在發展初期，政府可以訂立較容易達成的目標，鼓勵大家共同踏出第一步。
However I must stress that the setting of such targets only serves as an impetus for the Government to promote industrial development evaluate performance hence the Government may start with a more achievable target at the beginning to induce more people to take the first step
特區政府過去一直延續殖民地政府遺留的"積極不干預"政策態度，拒絕揀選一些合適產業以提供支援，又或是只在非常例外的情況下才揀選產業。
The SAR Government has all along followed the positive non - intervention policy inherited from the former colonial Government and refused to identify appropriate industries and support their development . Or it may do so only under very exceptional circumstances
不過，我所進行的一項研究發現，成功的再工業化地區均有揀選目標產業的政策舉措。
Yet the findings of my study showed that all places that have achieved success in re - industrialization had formulated policies for identifying target industries
因此，我認為特區政府應訂立全面機制，研究哪些產業值得重點支援，然後提供支援。
Therefore I think the SAR Government should establish a comprehensive mechanism for identifying priority industries and then provide support for them
舉例來說，以色列在再工業化的過程中，把當地的傳統產業列作重點支援產業。
A case in point is Israel . In the process of re - industrialization Israel selected its traditional industry as a priority industry
2016年，以色列的創新局撥出21億港元，支援超過1,000個研發項目，讓傳統產業可提升生產技術。
In 2016 the Israel Innovation Authority allocated HK2.1 billion to support over 1 000 RD projects with the aim of improving the production technologies of the traditional industry
這個例子清楚顯示，傳統產業的優化和提升同樣可帶來全新的就業機會，並且帶動再工業化。
This is a clear example showing that the optimization and enhancement of traditional industries can also bring new job opportunities and promote re - industrialization
主席，說罷"選產業"，接下來便要討論我剛才提及的"設補貼"。
President after elaborating on the point of identifying industries I will now move on to next point of providing subsidies which I mentioned earlier on
同樣地，特區政府若有心支持再工業化，也可向合資格產業和企業提供合適的稅務優惠。
Similarly if the SAR Government wants to support re - industrialization it may also provide appropriate tax concessions to eligible industries and enterprises
我曾在有關預算案的財務委員會特別會議上就此提出質詢，政府回覆時表示，先進製造業中心應可在未來一兩年落成。
I raised this issue at the special meetings of the Finance Committee FC to discuss the Budget . In response the Government said that the Advanced Manufacturing Centre AMC was expected to be completed in the next year or two
我希望政府當局可就先進製造業中心日後的企業進駐多作宣傳，因為此事非常重要。
I urge the authorities to step up publicity for AMC to boost its occupancy rate because this is very important
對於政府推出再工業化資助計劃，撥出20億元支援提升生產線，我曾在財委會特別會議上向政府提出相關質詢，政府表示目前已經接獲12宗申請。
Given that the Government has introduced the Re - industrialisation Funding Scheme and allocated 2 billion to subsidize the enhancement of production lines I had raised a relevant question to the Government at a special FC meeting and the Government replied that the scheme had received 12 applications so far
香港能否達成再工業化的目標，最重要視乎政府能否下定決心，作出突破。
Hong Kong can achieve the target of re - industrialization or not depends heavily on whether the Government is determined to strive for breakthroughs
香港絕對有條件做到再工業化。
Hong Kong has all the conditions required for re - industrialization
就此，我已在財委會會議上多番建議律政司考慮增加人手，或以各種方式加快檢視其檢控決 定。
In view of this at the FC meetings I had repeatedly advised the Department of Justice to consider increasing its manpower or expediting the making of prosecution decisions by other means
代理主席，我發言支持通過《2021年撥款條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Appropriation Bill 2021 the Bill
今年的財政預算案是在新冠病毒疫情影響下的第二份預算案，香港在這一年多裏，環境特別差、經濟特別差、行業特別苦。
The Budget is the second budget announced under the influence of the novel coronavirus epidemic . For more than a year in Hong Kong the environment has been particularly bad the economy particularly poor and the situation for industries particularly tough
不少工人失業或開工不足，更是淒慘，一家人的生活大受影響。
Many workers who became unemployed or underemployed found themselves in miserable circumstances and the living of their families has been greatly affected
政府推出的防疫抗疫基金，目的是為了優先保住企業，從而保住"打工仔"的"飯碗"。
The Anti - epidemic Fund launched by the Government is to give priority to protecting the enterprises thereby protecting the rice bowls of wage earners
幸好香港的財政底子豐厚，推出了4輪財政措施，幫助各行各業和市民渡過難關。
Fortunately with its abundant fiscal reserves Hong Kong has launched four rounds of fiscal measures to help all sectors and the public tide over the difficulties
從去年2月21日開始撥出第一輪的300億元，再於去年的預算案推出大規模、涉及超過1,200億元的逆周期措施，第二輪措施的撥款是1,375億元，第三輪是240億元，第四輪則是64億元。
Starting from 21 February last year funds amounting to 30 billion were allocated in the first round after which large - scale counter - cyclical measures incurring more than 120 billion were introduced in last years budget . In the second round of measures a total of 137.5 billion was allocated followed by 24 billion in the third round and 6.4 billion in the fourth
特區政府大灑金錢，但直至今天，香港經濟復蘇了嗎？
The SAR Government has spent a lot of money but has the Hong Kong economy revived up to this day?
"打工仔"的就業情況好轉了嗎？
Has the employment situation for wage earners improved?
香港仍然受到疫情影響，近期更要面對變種病毒和第五波疫情的威脅。
Hong Kong is still affected by the epidemic and has to face the threat of virus variants and the fifth wave of the epidemic
今年預算案中一些利民紓困的措施亦已減少，例如長者、傷殘人士、綜援人士原先是有"雙糧"的，但今次的預算案只提出發放半個月糧。
In this years Budget certain measures to relieve the publics hardship have also been watered down . For example the elderly the disabled and CSSA recipients were previously given double pay but the Budget only proposes to provide them with half a months pay
預算案提出派發5,000元的電子消費券，預算開支為360億元。
The Budget proposes to issue electronic consumption vouchers with a total value of 5,000 which will incur an estimated expenditure of 36 billion
但是，市民對有關消費券的派發方式和政策原意毀譽參半，尤其只是利用電子方式來消費，對一些小商戶而言是難以從中獲益，未能達到為中型、小型企業提供支援的效果。
However the public have mixed opinions about the disbursement method and the policy intent of the initiative . In particular since consumption can only be made by electronic means thus small businesses will have difficulties benefiting from it and the initiative will fail to produce the effect of supporting medium and small enterprises SMEs
我認為政府在電子消費券的派發過程中，應吸納市民的意見，包括由每月派發1,000元改為超過1,000元，以及把款額僅作電子消費改為部分是現金消費，讓長者可以真正使用這筆金錢。
I think that in the process of issuing electronic consumption vouchers the Government should listen to the views of the public including increasing the monthly consumption ceiling from 1,000 to more than 1,000 and changing the mode of consumption from electronic consumption only to partly in cash so that the elderly can actually use the money
我想談談預算案中有關福利的政策。
I would like to discuss the welfare policy in the Budget
在現時服務不足及疫情影響下，照顧長者、智障人士、殘疾人士及病患者的重責，主要落在家人身上，而不少照顧者更因為照顧家人而要放棄原來的工作，令家庭收入直接受到影響。
At present due to a shortage of services and the impact of the epidemic the heavy responsibility of caring for the elderly the mentally handicapped the disabled and the sick lies mainly on their family members . Many carers even have to give up their jobs to take care of their family members thus directly affecting the income of the family . The Government should not neglect the needs of these carers
這些照顧者本身也有自己的困難，有些年紀大，有些本身也有病痛，情緒亦不時會受到影響。
These carers may have their own difficulties as some are them may be old suffering from illnesses themselves and have emotional from time to time
我亦想談關於社區保姆計劃。
Furthermore I would like to discuss the home - based child care service
現時照顧3歲以下幼兒的資助幼兒中心不足，而根據政府發出的《香港規劃標準與準則》，政府須按照人口預留合適處所，供營辦幼兒中心之用，估計要10年才可達到規劃目標。
At present there is a shortage of subsidized child care centres for children under three . According to the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines issued by the Government it must reserve a number of suitable premises for child care centres to operate in accordance with the population . It is estimated that it will take 10 years to achieve the planning target
社會福利署不斷透過公屋重建或市區重建等項目增加幼兒中心的設施，而未來三四年只能夠增加10間幼兒中心及1,000個幼兒中心的服務名額，根本就是僧多粥少，追不上需求。
The Social Welfare Department SWD has made continuous effort to increase the number of child care centre facilities through public housing redevelopment or urban renewal projects . In the next three to four years there will be an addition of only 10 child care centres and 1 000 child care service places the supply of which can hardly catch up with the demand
在這種情況下，社區保姆就是很多家庭的選擇。
Under the circumstances many families will choose to hire home - based child carers
市場有需求，但社區保姆同樣面對入行人數少的問題，即現時政府未能吸引人入行。
There is demand for home - based child carers in the market but this occupation also faces the problem of shortage of entrants as the Government has failed to attract new entrants
政府應再研究可否通過適當提高社區保姆的時薪或提供交通津貼，以增加這行業的吸引力。
The Government should further study whether it can increase the hourly salary of home - based child carers or provide transportation allowance for them so as to increase the attractiveness of the occupation
另一方面，亦應研究實行社區保姆註冊制度，令社區保姆更專業化，藉以提升專業形象。
In addition it should also conduct a study on introducing a registration system for home - based child carers to professionalize the occupation and enhance their professional image
這樣可以讓家庭及保姆的配對減少落差，令家長更放心。
This will narrow the gap of matching families with home - based child carers so that parents can feel more at ease
我剛才提到，社會服務設施不足以致影響服務。
As I mentioned earlier shortage of social service facilities has affected the provision of services
社署於去年9月宣布，將分批在全港18區購置160個福利設施。
SWD announced in September last year that it would purchase 160 welfare facilities in batches in the 18 districts of Hong Kong
今年1月發生嘉頤 護老中心被拒續約的事件，令院友要重新尋找院舍，不知事件與政府的購置計劃是否有關？
In January this year after renewal of agreement with Care Services Elderly Centre was refused the residents had to look for places at other elderly centres again . Is this incident related to the Governments purchasing plan?
但是，對政府而言，既要善用公帑購買設施，同時亦要盡快提供服務，實屬一項挑戰。
Nevertheless it is a real challenge for the Government to optimize the use of public funds to purchase facilities on the one hand and provide services as soon as possible on the other
代理主席，受疫情影響，經濟轉差。
Deputy President owing to the epidemic the economy is declining
正因為局長不肯為市民設想，協助失業市民解決問題，所以司長才推出150億元的百分百擔保個人特惠貸款計劃，讓失業至少兩個月的18歲或以上香港永久性居民可以借到最高8萬港元的款項，而且還款期最長6年，年利率僅1%。
Precisely because of the Secretarys reluctance to think for the interests of the public and assist the unemployed in solving their problems the Financial Secretary FS has launched the 100 % Personal Loan Guarantee Scheme PLGS costing 15 billion . Under PLGS Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 or above who have been unemployed for at least two months can borrow up to HK80,000 with a maximum repayment period of six years at an interest rate of only 1 % per annum
由於政府經常在財務公司或貸款廣告的結尾加插一句"借定唔借，還得到先好借"，一些失業人士可能會擔心，借到8萬元後是否有能力償還。
As the Government always includes a warning message at the end of advertisements of financial companies or loans saying that To borrow or not to borrow? . Borrow only if you can repay some unemployed people are probably worried about their ability to repay the 80,000 they borrow
高薪厚祿的局長、官員可能有所不知，償還8萬元是很難的事。
The Secretary and government officials receiving decent salaries may not know that it is very difficult to repay 80,000
我們當然無意阻礙政府，希望這150億元撥款可以盡快批出，以幫助失業的工友，但一些被減薪或停工的工友也很需要幫助，希望司長會考慮。
Of course we have no intention to obstruct the Government and hope that this 15 billion can be approved as soon as possible to help the unemployed workers . However since workers suffering wage cuts or being suspended from work are also in desperate need of help I hope FS will consider this proposal
現時，香港經濟在疫情下轉差，政府預計未來數年都會出現赤字，但政府絕不可當守財奴，應該更主動投放資源，刺激香港經濟復蘇，推動經濟結構改革。
At present Hong Kongs economy is declining amid the epidemic and the Government has anticipated deficits in the next few years . However the Government must not be a miser . It should allocate resources more proactively so as to boost economic recovery in Hong Kong and promote structural economic reforms
以往特區政府官員迷信自由市場原則，奉行無為而治，極度抗拒政府主動介入，以為靠年年賣地的政府收入，便可維持香港經濟發展。
In the past SAR government officials who believed in the free market principle and adopted a hands - off style of governance were utterly resistant to active intervention by the Government thinking that revenue from land sales over the years could sustain economic development in Hong Kong
因此，我們認為在現時的經濟情況下，政府亦應該主動出手。
Therefore we believe the Government should take proactive actions under the current economic condition
我們當然明白在疫情及經濟轉差的情況下，社會需要政府援助，特別是基層人士，所以政府需要投放更多資源，幫助這群基層市民。
We certainly understand that amid the epidemic and the economic downturn the community at large especially the grass roots are in need of government assistance . That is why the Government has to allocate more resources to help the grass roots
同時，政府不能夠單靠推高地價，在土地上賺取收入，所以政府需要開源。
At the same time as the Government cannot rely solely on pushing up the prices of the sites to generate revenue from land sales it thus needs to increase revenue
在投入資源發展創科時，亦要避免製造另一個數碼港，令"數碼變地產"的情況再次出現。
When allocating resources to foster IT development it is also necessary to avoid creating another Cyberport which may again end up turning digital development into real estate development
政府要全力處理的另一個問題，是土地房屋。
Another issue which requires the Governments all - out efforts is land and housing
多年來，香港的土地房屋政策混亂，早期較多興建資助房屋，在樓市下跌時又停建。
Over the years Hong Kongs land and housing policy has been incoherent which initially produced more subsidized housing units but then suspended when the property market slumped
要解決土地房屋問題，政府必須果斷，在財 政上應使得使，把該收的土地收回，把該填的土地填平。
In order to solve the land and housing problem the Government must be resolute in mobilizing its financial resources by resuming and reclaiming land wherever necessary and appropriate
如果部門需要更多人手，便增聘人手。
If the Government needs more manpower it should recruit more staff
政府不能夠因害怕得罪利益集團而綁手綁腳，不主動解決現時最大民生的問題，即房屋土地問題。
The Government should not tie its hands for fear of offending certain interest groups and refuse to take the initiative to solve the greatest livelihood issue of housing and land at present
其實，房屋土地也是財政司司長負責的範疇，我希望司長在開發土地及解決房屋問題時，可以與團體探討一些更果斷有為、更具突破性的措施，以增加土地房屋的供應量。
As a matter of fact housing and land matters are also within the purview of FS I hope that when he deals with the issues of land development and housing he will explore with various groups more resolute and ground - breaking measures to increase land and housing supply
同時，財政儲備亦大減至相當於13個月的財政開支，令人關注現時的財政空間，能否讓司長既振興受疫情拖累的本港經濟，同時維持公共財政的穩健性。
Meanwhile the fiscal reserves have been greatly reduced to the equivalent of 13 months of government expenditure arousing concern over the fiscal space available for FS to revive the pandemic - stricken economy while ensuring the health of public finances
我首先要指出，本年度財政預算案破天荒提出幾項加稅建議，包括將股票交易印花稅稅率從0.1%調高至0.13%，同時將私家車首次登記稅各稅階的稅率提高15%，以及牌照費提高30%。
First of all I have to point out that this years Budget has unprecedentedly proposed several tax increases including raising the stamp duty on stock transfers from 0.1 % to 0.13 % increasing the rate of each tax band for the first registration tax rates for private cars by 15 % and increasing licence fees by 30 %
以上加稅措施令業界譁然。
These tax increase measures have taken the industry by surprise
雖然預算案並沒有開徵新稅項，而只是向傳統稅項下手，但無論如何，政府已開展了加稅先例，市場難免擔心，明年加稅措施會否陸續有來。
While the Budget has only raised traditional taxes without introducing any new taxes the Government has already set a precedent for tax increases anyway . The market is inevitably worried that more tax increase measures would follow next year
至於近年備受關注的電商消費新趨勢，預算案提出一籃子措施，推動各行各業加速數碼轉型。
As for the new trend of electronic commerce and consumption which has attracted considerable attention in recent years the Budget has proposed a package of measures to enable various sectors and industries to accelerate digital transformation
商界對政府重視數碼經濟表示歡迎，但政府千萬、千萬不要輕易將提供數碼服務的商業行為納入傳統稅網。
While the business sector welcomes the Governments emphasis on digital economy the Government should definitely not bring the business practices of providing digital services into the traditional tax net too lightly
目前，政府應集中研究各行各業線上業務的利潤來源地判斷標準，並及早為本港數碼化經濟發展，適時提供清晰的稅收指引。
At present the Government should focus on studying the criteria for determining the sources of profits of online businesses of various trades and industries and providing a clear and timely taxation guidelines for the development of digital economy in Hong Kong as early as possible
因應現時經濟環境及財政赤字的狀況，司長已扭盡六壬，希望既做到開源又可以節流。
In view of the current economic situation and fiscal deficit FS has racked his brain in a bid to generate new sources of revenue and cut expenditure
然而，大家都知道，這是十分困難的。
However as we all know this will be extremely difficult
一方面，節流在政治層面上難度很高，"派糖式"救市措施的力度稍為減弱，司長便要面對來自社會各界的批評。
On the one hand it would be highly challenging to reduce expenditure out of political considerations . If the relief measure of handing out sweeteners is scaled down slightly FS will come under criticism from various sectors of the community
另一方面，開源看似可行，但如果只以加稅作為開源方式，對工商業界的傷害，以至整個財稅制度的改變，都是巨大而不可逆轉的。
On the other hand while generating new sources of revenue appears to be a feasible option if revenue is increased only by means of raising taxes it will bring harm to the industrial and commercial sectors and tremendously and irreversibly change the entire fiscal and tax regime
眾所周知，香港奉行簡單低稅政策，這一直是我們引以為傲的核心競爭力，極受外國企業及投資者的推崇。
As we all know Hong Kong has been pursuing a simple and low tax policy . Our tax regime has always been the core competitiveness which we take pride in and has been highly praised by foreign enterprises and investors
政府一旦輕言加稅，明顯是在走回頭路，亦將會落後於世界各國努力減稅的大形勢，實在不利於本港的營商環境。
By raising taxes casually the Government is obviously backtracking . Contrary to the major trend of tax reduction in countries around the world the Governments move will actually do a disservice to the business environment of Hong Kong
主席，作為廠商會的業界代表，我留意到"再工業化"在本年度預算案演辭中出現了5次，其中演辭第111段指出，再工業化資助計劃自去年7月推出以來，共收到12宗申請，情況似乎不太理想。
President as a trade representative from the Chinese Manufacturers Association of Hong Kong CMA I noticed that the term re - industrialization has appeared five times in this years Budget Speech . According to paragraph 111 of the Speech the Re - industrialisation Funding Scheme which was launched in July last year has received 12 applications so far . It does not appear quite so satisfactory
除智能生產和高端製造業外，政府亦不可忽視傳統產業對本港經濟的貢獻。
Apart from smart production and high - end manufacturing the Government should not overlook the contribution of traditional industries to our economy
工業界一直提醒政府，再工業化固然與創科有很大的交集，但兩者並非簡單等同。
The industrial sector has been reminding the Government that while re - industrialization as well as innovation and technology are largely intertwined they are simply not the same
可惜的是，預算案未能進一步提出支援本地工業及珠三角港資企業的相關措施。
To our regret the Budget has failed to further propose related measures to support the local industries and Hong Kong - owned enterprises in the Pearl River Delta
其實，廠商會曾在2016年指出，鑒於"食品、飲品及煙草製造"是香港輕工業和製造業的龍頭，政府應仿效韓國建立食品產業園，進一步塑造"香港製造"的地域品牌形象，從而加強競爭力。
Given that food beverage and tobacco manufacturing is Hong Kongs leading light manufacturing industry CMA actually suggested back in 2016 that the Government should follow the example of Korea by setting up a food industrial park to further strengthen the image building of the Made in Hong Kong brand thereby enhancing our competitiveness
事隔多年，政府的再工業化政策，對傳統工業仍然重視不足。
Many years on the Government has still failed to attach due importance to traditional industries in its re - industrialization policy
香港城市大學研究團隊最近統計了創新及科技基金的產業撥款分布，截至2019年10月，"電器、電子及光學製品"在製造業當中佔3.9%，但電器及電子相關產業卻獲得31.56%的最大份額撥款。
A research team from City University of Hong Kong recently conducted a survey on the allocation of the Innovation and Technology Fund among various industries . As of October 2019 while electrical electronic and optical products accounted for only 3.9 % of the manufacturing sector electrical and electronics - related industries received the largest share of funding at 31.56 %
反觀佔製造業逾三成份額的"食品、飲品及煙草製造"，所得撥款卻低至未有單項列出。
In contrast food beverage and tobacco manufacturing which accounted for more than 30 % of the manufacturing sector the funds received were too low to be listed separately
不少廠家從事製造業數十年，擁有雄厚的產業基礎。
Quite a few manufacturers who have been operating in the manufacturing industry for decades have established a strong industrial foundation
隨着科技進步及市場轉變，傳統製造業亦需轉型升級，從而帶動科研、加工、產品設計及市場調查等上、中、下游的行業發展，並創造大量相關的就業機會。
Technological advancement and market changes have made it necessary for the traditional industries to restructure and upgrade thereby fostering the development of upstream midstream and downstream industries such as scientific research processing product design and market research and creating a large number of related job opportunities
因此，政府有必要推動再工業化。
In view of that it is necessary for the Government to take forward re - industrialization
政府如未能全面檢視傳統製造業發展的困局，就無法透過精準的產業政策協助業界提升產能，最終導致"香港製造"買少見少，不利於拓展內銷和出口市場。
If the Government fails to fully grasp the predicament faced by the traditional manufacturing industry in development it will not be able to assist the industry in upgrading its production capacity through targeted industrial policies . Eventually Made in Hong Kong products will become fewer in number which is not conducive to exploring domestic and export markets
預算案演辭第100至101段提到，現屆政府已落實為研發開支提供額外稅務扣減，令本地研發投入有所增長。
As mentioned in paragraphs 100 and 101 of the Budget Speech the current - term Government has introduced enhanced tax deduction for research and development RD expenditure thereby increasing investments in local RD
然而，2019年研發開支只佔本地生產總值0.92%，與政府訂立在2022年達到1.5%的目標相距甚遠。
However in 2019 RD expenditure only accounted for 0.92 % of GDP lagging far behind the Governments target of reaching 1.5 % by 2022
在大灣區內，香港的有關排名僅高於澳門，相比深圳的4.93%更是大幅落後。
In the Greater Bay Area Hong Kongs ranking is only higher than Macao but lags substantially behind Shenzhen where the RD expenditure accounted for 4.93 % of GDP
因此，政府應急起直追，加大注資，以刺激私人研發開支的增長。
Hence the Government should catch up expeditiously by investing more to boost the growth of private RD expenditures
其實，經民聯亦曾提出建議，在10年內把研發開支佔本地生產總值的比例提升至2.5%，並希望政府訂立相應的關鍵績效指標，例如訂立按年度的資金來源和研發主體分項指標，分階段就措施成效作系統性評估。
In fact the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong has also proposed to raise the proportion of RD expenditure to 2.5 % of GDP within 10 years and suggested the Government to set corresponding key performance indicators such as annual breakdown of funding sources and RD subjects so as to systematically assess the effectiveness of the measures in phases
最後，我想談談電動車政策。
Lastly I would like to talk about the electric vehicle EV policy
司長在預算案提出在2035年或之前停止登記新的燃油私家車。
In the Budget FS proposed ceasing the new registration of fuel - propelled private cars in 2035 or earlier
環顧世界各地的做法、時間表和路線圖，大概可分為3類，包括淘汰燃油車、電動車應用率和電動車銷售比例。
Looking at the EV practices timetables and roadmaps of other countries around the world they can be broadly classified under three categories namely the phase - out of fuel - propelled vehicles the adoption rate of EVs and the ratio of EVs in the sale of vehicles . Take the Mainland as an example
