此技術為全球首創，方便旅客和市民之餘，亦有助提升香港智能城市的形象。
This technology is the first of its kind in the world which apart from offering convenience to visitors and members of the public is conducive to improving the image of Hong Kong as a smart city
第三，鼓勵開放政府和企業大數據，幫助青年創業。
Third the opening up of big data of the Government and businesses should be encouraged to assist young people in starting up businesses
在智慧城市中，利用大數據分析用戶的需求，用以指導各行業提高生產、提升服務是大勢所趨。
In a smart city there is a general trend that big data is used to analyse user demand to guide various industries in increasing production and enhancing services
但是，數據收集非一般中小企可以做到，我建議由政府牽頭，根據市場發展需要，與專業團體合作開發及收集大數據資源，供中小企使用，為青年人的創業提供更多支援，令香港的第三產業更趨多元化。
However since data collection cannot be adequately handled by SMEs I advise the Government to take the lead to cooperate with professional organizations to based on the needs of market development develop and collect big data for use by SMEs so as to provide more assistance to young people for starting up businesses and make the tertiary industry of Hong Kong more diversified
主席，香港以服務業為主，旅遊業與其他消費行業息息相關。
President Hong Kong is oriented toward services sectors and the tourism industry is closely related to other consumer industries
所以，我希望政府在發展經濟的同時，多關心旅遊業的發展，多了解中小旅行社在網上競爭及產品供應商直銷下所處的被動局面，適時作出支援。
For this reason I hope that the Government will while pursuing economic development have more regard to the development of the tourism industry understand more the passive position of small and medium travel agencies in the face of online competition and direct selling from product suppliers and provide timely assistance
我期望在財政預算案中看到更多更實際支援旅遊業的措施。
I expect to see more measures that are more practical to support the tourism industry in the Budget
就施政報告有關教育的環節，林鄭月娥女士參選特首時，列出教育、房屋和經濟3個施政重點，她甫上任便迅速通過36億元教育經常開支撥款，包括增加中小學及特殊學校的師生比例、為自資院校課程提供輔助及加強資訊科技人手等。
As regards education Mrs Carrie LAM listed education housing and economy as the three key areas with top priorities for policy implementation when campaigning for the Chief Executive election . Upon assumption of office she promptly announced an increase of recurrent education expenditure and the 3.6 billion first - phase funding was quickly approved . The funding will be used to increase the staff - to - student ratios in primary and secondary schools and special schools assist self - financing post - secondary institutions in organizing programmes and provide additional IT manpower
這些都是好措施，因而獲立法會跨黨派支持和通過。
These good measures are widely supported by various parties and have therefore been endorsed
然而，林鄭月娥的施政報告中，對一些長期訴求及極具爭議的教育事件，卻未有任何回應。
However Mrs Carrie LAM gives no response to some long - standing demands and controversial educational issues in the Policy Address
原來政府只為佔八成的半日制幼稚園提供免費教學。
Actually only the half - day kindergartens which account for merely 80 % of the total are offering free education
我們與其他幼稚園家長有何分別？
What is the difference between us and the other kindergarten parents?
全港中小學家長、教師和學生都在等待她的答覆，但她卻偏偏不說。
Parents teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong are waiting for her answer but the Chief Executive does not tell us
大家可否想象學校內的操練情況？
Can we imagine the drilling situation in schools?
其實，局方表示已優化BCA，題目較為淺易，但剛公布的小三BCA達標率卻沒有明顯升幅，與之前相若，究竟優化措施是否有效？
As a matter of fact the Education Bureau says that BCA has been optimized with the questions getting easier . However according to the latest results of BCA the percentage of students having achieved the basic competence has not risen significantly . Is such optimization effective?
如出題較淺未能將學生分出高低，明年又會加深題目，學校則會繼續以較深的版本操練學生，令學生和家長苦不堪言，希望這種情況很快會有改善。
If the easier BCA cannot tell which students are better the questions might become more difficult again and the schools would continue to drill their students using the more difficult questions leaving students and parents in misery . I hope this situation can soon be ameliorated
最後，我希望政府不要忽視學童自殺問題。
Finally it comes to the issue of student suicide . I hope the Government would not neglect this issue
然而，要數施政報告中最離譜、最失敗、最令人憂心，以及最不應該推行的教育政策，當然是"赤化"教育和"洗腦"教育。
When we come to education in this Policy Address I think the most outrageous the most disastrous the most worrying and the most undesirable is Mainlandization and brainwashing
政府一定不承認這一點，但社會人士雙眼雪亮，眼見整個教育制度往往有跡可尋。
The Government will certainly deny this . However the community is discerning . They can see traces of changes in our education system
根據我所屬民主黨進行的研究，其實局長你亦曾指出，國民教育根本沒有停止過，反而現正繼續加大力度推行。
According to a study conducted by the Democratic Party of which I am a member and what the Secretary yourself have put it national education has never stopped and instead the Government is continuing to step up its efforts in promoting national education
我最近多番指出，修訂初中中國歷史科的第二階段，主要針對應否將六七暴動及六四事件這兩個敏感議題納入課程之內。
Recently I often point out that in the second phase of revising the Chinese History subject for junior secondary forms the main focus is whether the two sensitive issues involving the riots in 1967 and the 4 June incident should be included in our curriculum
難道六七暴動只是大家的回憶而不是事實？
Is the 1967 riots just everyones memories rather than facts?
為何推行國民教育要由國家教育部指點香港官員推行？
Why should the Minister of Education instruct or direct government officials in Hong Kong to implement national education?
然而，內地官員插手干預及指點局長做事，顯然是客觀的事實。
However it is obviously an objective fact that we are having Mainland officials interfering our affairs and instructing the Secretary what to do
政府為何不邀請開明、自由主義、民主主義的學者同場辯論？
Why does the Government not invite some enlightened scholars championing liberalism and democracy to attend the same debate?
單方面直播內地中共權威的發言，不是"洗腦"和"赤化"教育，又會是甚麼呢？
The one - sided broadcasting of the talk given by a figure of the Central authority is actually brainwashing and Mainlandization . If it is not then what will it be?
這還不算"洗腦"教育和"赤化"教育嗎？
Is this not brainwashing and Mainlandization of our education system?
我剛才一口氣舉出多個例子，全是本年內發生，香港社會可以思考一下。
All these examples I cited just now happened this year . The Hong Kong society should think about it
局長可否告訴我，未來數年，在林鄭月娥主政及局長領導下的教育局，還要花多少經費進行"赤化"教育，對我們的學生"洗腦"？
Can the Secretary tell us how much more money will be spent by the Education Bureau on Mainlandization of our education system and brainwashing of our students in the coming few years under the governance of Mrs Carrie LAM and your leadership?
這是香港人絕對不會接受的事情。
This is absolutely unacceptable to Hong Kong people
另外有一點，我未必有足夠時間詳述，就是大學政治化，以及大學校園管治如何受政府干預的問題。
I may not have enough time to elaborate on this point which is about the politicization of universities and government interference in the governing of universities
我希望未來施政報告內的教育政策，能真正談及教育制度以內的事情，真正為學童謀福祉，真正處理課程本身的事情；並顧及學生在校園的感受，以及家長對子女在教育制度下學習的期望。
I hope that when you talk about education policy in the future Policy Addresses you are really talking about and working on matters within the educational system such as student welfare the curriculum and also life and feelings of students on school campuses as well as expectations of parents on what students should learn in schools . I hope that the authority can understand that academic study should be done academically
希望當局可以學術歸學術，放過香港人，別再進行"赤化"教育，把我們的學生"洗腦"。
Please let us go and stop Mainlandizing our education system and stop brainwashing our students
主席，行政長官今年7月上任時，自言她的施政將會顯現"管治新風格"，當時公民黨為此留下一個註腳說："聽其言、觀其行、時刻監察、嚴厲鞭策"。
President when the Chief Executive assumed office in July this year she said that there would be a new style of governance under her administration . At that time the Civic Party made the following footnote listen to her words and watch her deeds; monitor constantly and supervise stringently
今年9月，我們開始發現林太的管治新風格似乎只是舊瓶新酒，公民黨便再向她提出數個忠告："民主不立、公義不彰、民心不穩、兩制沉淪"。
In September this year when the Civic Party started to realize that Carrie LAMs so - called new style of governance was only old wine in a new bottle we advised her that where there is no democracy there will be no justice; when people lack a sense of security one - country two - systems will fail
特首上任將近半年，從最新一份施政報告來看，雖然我們看到林太在民生政策方面的確下了一些苦功，但面對社會撕裂、政治不濟的狀態，"林鄭"新政府始終無心無力，施政所走的是"政治不通、唯以利安民"的下策。
It has been almost half a year since the Chief Executive assumed office . From the recent Policy Address we can see that Carrie LAM has really made some efforts in formulating policies on peoples livelihood but when facing social dissension and undesirable political climate her new governing team lacks the determination and ability to make a change and has resorted to the unsatisfactory tactic of offering advantages to pacify the public when there are problems in administration
主席，在稍後的辯論中，我黨數名同事將會就行政長官施政的不同政策層面表達看法，現在我會先就施政報告有關創新科技的政策發表意見，主要集中討論開放數據。
President some Members of the Civic Party will express their views on various policies announced in the Policy Address in the later debates . I will first express my views on the policies on innovation and technology in the Policy Address focusing on the discussion of open data
主席，今年6月，英國的開放知識基金會公布了最新的全球開放資料排名榜，評核世界各地政府開放數據的綜合表現。
President in June this year Open Knowledge Foundation of the United Kingdom published the newest global open data rankings and assessed the comprehensive performance in providing open data by various governments in the world
在最新一輪評級之中，香港名列第二十四位，而排名首位的是跟我們咫尺之遙、文化傳統和生活習慣均非常相近的台灣。
In the most recent assessment Hong Kong ranked 24while Taiwan a nearby place which shares similar cultures traditions and living habits with us ranked first
這個排名榜比較了各地政府15種數據的開放程度，包括政府預算、選舉結果、公司註冊資料，以至水質、天氣預報等範疇，除了比較這些資料是否公開，也會考慮公開的格式是否電腦可讀、能否隨時下載、是否免費等。
The rankings were set after comparing the degrees of openness in providing 15 types of data by governments including government budgets election results company register water quality and weather forecast etc . Apart from comparing whether the data is accessible to the public consideration is also given to whether the format of the data is computer - readable whether it can be downloaded and free of charge etc
主席，在很多人的印象中，台灣整體而言比香港落後，但為何台灣能夠以90分名列前茅，而香港只能在這個排名榜中取得51分呢？
President many people have the impression that Taiwan lags behind Hong Kong in general . However why did Taiwan rank first with a score of 90 % while Hong Kong only obtained a score of only 51 % in this assessment?
我們要看看評分中的不同分項。
We have to consider the various criteria in the assessment
政府現時提倡環保，希望減少使用塑膠瓶，所以希望市民能夠使用飲水機。
This example is related to drinking fountains . As the Government now advocates environmental protection it hopes that people will use drinking fountains more and subsequently reduce the use of plastic bottles
但是，政府明明擁有相關資訊、知道相關飲水機的位置，而這些資料又不涉私隱，為何政府卻沒有開放數據，方便相關開發者使用？
Obviously the Government has the relevant information on the location of drinking fountains and such information is not confidential why does the Government not open up the data to facilitate app developers?
同樣以飲水機為例，台灣早已將例如台北市所有公共場所的飲水機位置公開，細緻到連經緯度及場所的開放時間也一應俱全，而且資料均備有API格式。
Using the same example of drinking fountains Taiwan published the location of drinking fountains in all public places in Taipei long ago . Even small details such as the longitude and latitude of the locations and the opening hours of the venues are available and all information is provided in API format
即是"電腦可讀格式"，讓民間有志者可以下載資料來編寫應用程式，這樣便無需一如"撲水"的開發者一樣，真正走遍大街小巷"撲水"。
It is Application Programming Interface format . Members of the public can download the information in this format to create apps . In this way they do not have to walk through streets and alleys like the developers of Water for Free
見微知著，我希望政府能夠緊記這個簡單的例子。
As one tiny clue reveals the general situation I hope the Government can remember this simple example
主席，我們一直認為處理民生問題，不單是派錢或興建超級基建，政府在一些細節為民設想，也是改善市民生活的一種方式。
President we always think that in dealing with livelihood issues handing out cash or building super infrastructures are not the only means; if the Government cares for the people in some trivial matters it is also a way of improving their livelihood
很可惜，政府過去一直走錯路，以為手執數據，然後由政府自行寫Apps便是創新，可以成就智慧城市。
Unfortunately the Government has all along taken the wrong direction and thought that by developing its own apps with its data it has taken forward innovation and promoted the development of smart city
其實，政府開放數據之後，民間的有志之士自然會運用這些數據，設身處地為別人着想。
In fact after the Government has opened up its data people in the community will naturally use such data to create apps that meet the genuine needs
政府與其用積木為市民砌成各種建築物，不如向市民提供積木，讓他們發揮創意，自行砌出適合大家的智慧城市。
Instead of using its bricks to construct buildings for the people the Government can give the bricks to the people so that they can use their creativity to build a smart city which suits everyone
特首這份施政報告的確為創新創科大書一筆，我固然希望政府身體力行，說得出做得到，但是主席，我更想指出，政府要開放的不僅是數據，而是管治思維。
This Policy Address of the Chief Executive has indeed laid emphasis on innovation and technology . I hope that the Government will talk the talk and walk the walk but more importantly President the Government should not only open up its data it should also open up its governance mindset
其實，市民只需上政府的"資訊一線通"網站，看到政府公開的數據是何等稀少，便自然明白政府在開放數據方面，是何等的保守。
In fact just by browsing the Governments DataGovHK the public will know how little the Government has opened up its data and how conservative it is in this regard
我建議特區政府官員應該參考國家主席在"十九大"的開幕發言，他為國家經濟把脈斷症做得很好，懂得自我批評，指出國家經濟的發展仍然不夠平衡、不充分，並且提出一些目標，以增加國家經濟的質量。
I suggest that officials of the SAR Government should take reference from the speech of the State President at the opening of the 19 National Congress of the Communist Party of China . He made a good diagnosis of the national economy . He made a self - criticism by pointing out that the countrys economic development was still unbalanced and inadequate and he set down some objectives to promote the economic development of the country in terms of quality and quantity
當中包括加快建設製造強國，加快發展先進的製造業，推動互聯網、大數據、人工智能和實體經濟深度融合等，在中高端消費、創新引領、綠色低碳、共享經濟、現代供應鏈等領域加以改善。
These objectives include expediting the building of a powerful nation accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing industries promoting the deep integration of the Internet big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy etc as well as making improvements in areas such as high - end consumption advancement in innovation green and low - carbon development shared economy and the modern supply chain
國家也認為發展要比較均衡，不是讓一兩個產業獨大或一兩個地區獨大，而是希望全面發展，對嗎？
Our country also considers that development should be relatively balanced instead of allowing one or two industries to dominate right?
這才是多元經濟。
That is what a diversified economy should be
多元經濟應該發展新產業，要發展新產業，便要尋找新市場和新產品，我希望政府官員稍後發言時可以回應一下何謂"多元經濟"。
New industries will be developed in a diversified economy . To develop new industries new markets and products must be developed . I hope that government officials will respond later by telling us the meaning of a diversified economy in their speeches
再者，多元經濟的目標是甚麼？
Furthermore what are the objectives of a diversified economy?
我認為除了提升香港整體經濟的質量之外，亦應該縮窄貧富差距，不要讓一兩個產業獨大，這樣才能達到多元經濟造福市民的效果。
In my view apart from enhancing the overall economic development of Hong Kong in terms of quality and quantity the wealth gap should be narrowed and domination by one or two industries should not be allowed . Then a diversified economy will have the effect of bringing benefits to the public
對於政府發展多元經濟，我有以下意見。
On developing a diversified economy by the Government I have the following views
設立一間晶片廠，動輒要數十億元，成功的公司經過十多二十年的掙扎，不知 虧蝕了多少金錢才能站穩陣腳。
Setting up a factory for manufacturing chips often requires billions of dollars . To attain success a company needs to struggle for 10 to 20 years and it can only gain a firm footing after losing a large amount of money
我們不需要做一些本身欠缺優勢的事情。
We should not engage in areas in which we lack advantages
此外，又有人批評香港為何不能設立中藥廠，生產更多的中藥。
Besides some people criticize Hong Kong for not establishing Chinese medicine factories to produce Chinese medicinal products
其實香港也有不少藥廠，但當然大家要明白，如果我們要成立一間藥品製造中心，最重要的是解決市場問題，因為即使希望把中藥打入內地市場，也要克服很多規管的困難。
In fact there are already a number of Chinese medicine factories in Hong Kong but we certainly have to understand that before establishing a pharmaceutical manufacturing centre it is most important to solve the problem of the market . Even if we want to export Chinese medicine manufactured in Hong Kong to the Mainland we have to overcome many regulatory problems
香港要發展新產業、新產品、開發新市場、發展新產品，但很多人說香港沒有新的經濟增長點，其實除了土地、人才不足之外，最大的問題是市場小，因為香港人口始終只有700多萬人。
Hong Kong needs to develop new industries new products and new markets but many people say that Hong Kong lacks new areas of economic growth . In fact apart from lacking land and talent the biggest problem is the small size of our market . After all Hong Kong only has a population of 7 million - plus
香港政府由港英年代開始已經知道市場小的問題，所以向來信奉自由經濟，將香港打造成一個自由港，便是希望打入全世界的市場，我們也憑着這個優勢，創造出製造業的奇蹟。
Even when Hong Kong was still under British governance the Hong Kong Government was already well aware of the problem of a small market thus it had all along upheld the free economy belief and developed Hong Kong as a free port for the purpose of entering the world market . With this advantage we have created miracles in the manufacturing industry
如果要延續香港經濟的增長動力財政司司長在席上聆聽，真是太好了我們一定要尋找新市場，而現在出現了一個很好的契機，便是很多同事已提及，我們的確要乘搭"一帶一路"和粵港澳大灣區發展的"順風車"，特別是大灣區的發展。
If Hong Kong is to maintain its momentum in economic growth―it is wonderful that the Financial Secretary is now present to listen to my speech―we have to find new markets and a very good opportunity has now arisen . As mentioned by many Members we really must ride on Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area particularly the latter . Undoubtedly the Belt and Road Initiative will bring many new opportunities
"一帶一路"毫無疑問可為香港帶來很多新機遇，例如上星期，上海合作組織和多個上合成員國代表在香港出席了"一帶一路先鋒論壇"，財政司司長也有出席，並且發表了精彩的演說，這是香港第一次跟中亞國家交流。
The Belt and Road Innovation and Development Forum was held in Hong Kong last week in which representatives of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation SCO and its members attended . The Financial Secretary was present and he delivered an intriguing speech . That was the first meeting in which Hong Kong interacted with countries of Central Asia
其實，那些國家也十分希望港府的高層官員訪問他們，因為他們有很多價廉物美的產品和豐富的天然資源，可以在多方面跟香港互補。
In fact those countries wish that high - ranking public officials of Hong Kong can visit them . They have many inexpensive and fine products and possess rich natural resources and they can work with Hong Kong complementarily in many areas
但是，"一帶一路"在地理上的涵蓋面當然非常大，很多基建項目的投資大、風險高、回報期長，很高興現時已經有一些公司參與。
The Belt and Road Initiative certainly covers a wide geographical area and many infrastructure projects require huge investment which are risky and have a long payback period . I am very glad that some companies have already participated in these projects
然而，大灣區的發展機遇就在我們身邊，因為無論地理、歷史、文化上，香港也是大灣區的一部分，向來也透過香港人在內地投資，帶動珠三角的發展，亦從中得到很大的經濟發展動力。
However opportunities arising from the development of the Bay Area are at our doorstep . Hong Kong is part of the Bay Area geographically historically and culturally . Investment by Hong Kong people on the Mainland has all along facilitated the development of the Pearl River Delta Region and as a result Hong Kong has gained huge momentum of economic development
所以，香港應該以更大力度投入大灣區的發展。
Thus Hong Kong should step up its effort in participating in the development of the Bay Area
我在此重申我星期一在財經事務委員會曾提出的一個建議，便是政府應該考慮成立一個大灣區投資基金。
Let me repeat my suggestion put forward at the meeting of the Panel on Financial Affairs last Monday . The Government should consider setting up a Bay Area investment fund
我在同日與香港金融管理局總裁陳德霖探討這個問題時對他說，很多擁有大量盈餘的國家也成立主權財富基金，作較長期及風險較高的投資，亦得到相當不錯的回報。
On that same day when I was discussing this issue with Mr Norman CHAN Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA I also told him that many countries with huge reserves had set up national sovereign wealth funds to engage in investments for longer terms with higher risks and they have obtained considerable returns
挪威的回報很不俗，而中東也是最早成立這種基金的國家。
Norway has obtained good returns and countries of the Middle - east are the earliest to invest in these funds
我認為，特首對香港未來發展的掌握，切中核心。
In my opinion the Chief Executives vision for the future of Hong Kong has hit the nail on the head
我想談談改善營商環境及提升競爭力的措施。
I would like to speak on the initiatives which seek to improve business environment and enhance our competitiveness
特首在施政報告中十分關注一般中小企面對的困難，故此大膽打破以往的慣例，實行利得稅兩級制。
The Chief Executive has in the Policy Address shown great concern over the difficulties facing small and medium enterprises SMEs and taken a bold move by introducing a two - tier profits tax system under which the profits tax rate for the first 2 million of profits of enterprises will be lowered to 8.25 % instead of 10 % as initially proposed
企業首200萬元的利得稅稅率，由原先建議的10%進一步降至8.25%，為只有微利的中小企在艱難的經營環境中紓困，對提升香港的競爭力很有幫助。
This initiative will ease the hardship of SMEs operating with minimal profits and thus effectively enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong
另外，特首大幅提高企業在創新科技開支方面的稅務減免，首200萬元的合資格研發開支可獲300%扣稅，餘額則獲200%扣稅。
Moreover the Chief Executive proposes a significant increase in tax deduction for expenditure incurred by enterprises on research and development RD . Under this proposal the first 2 million eligible RD expenditure will enjoy a 300 % tax deduction with the remainder at 200 %
她又為大學研究資金預留不少於100億元，銳意推動創新，為香港未來的經濟發展引入新動力。
She has also set aside no less than 10 billion as funding for university research showing her determination in promoting innovation to give Hong Kong new impetus in its future economic growth
這個方向十分正確，值得我們支持。
This is the right direction which merits our support
我尤其欣賞特首在施政報告開宗明義，表示政府會扮演新角色，在過往"服務提供者"及"監管者"的角色以外，同時擔當"促成者"及"推廣者"的角色。
I am particularly impressed that the Chief Executive has stated explicitly in the Policy Address that the Government will take up the new role of a facilitator and a promoter in addition to its traditional role of a service provider and a regulator
即是說，政府會走得更前，在推動經濟方面，擔當更積極的角色。
In other words the Government is going to take a step forward and play a more active role in promoting economic development
我與業界對財政司司長陳茂波及其領導的金融領導委員會抱有很大期望，希望他們能在金融領域擔當"推廣者"的角色，將香港經濟帶進創新科技的大時代。
Members of the sector and I myself have high expectations for the Financial Leaders Forum led by Financial Secretary Paul CHAN hoping that it can act as a promoter to lead Hong Kong into the era of innovation and technology
該協議更明言容許本地券商有更多北上發展的機會。
The Ecotech Agreement further states that Hong Kong securities dealers will be given more opportunities to develop in the Mainland
該協議提及的不少措施，都可以在大灣區以先行先試的方式推行，把香港的優勢及發展潛力釋放出來，讓我們趕上祖國的經濟快車，共富共榮。
Many of the measures proposed in the Ecotech Agreement can actually be introduced in the Bay Area under the early and pilot implementation approach to unleash the advantages and potential of Hong Kong . We can then board the economic express rail of our country and share the fruits of economic prosperity
隨着內地與香港前年開始實行股票互聯互通，兩地的金融合作越趨頻繁。
Following the introduction of Stock Connect between the Mainland and Hong Kong in 2015 the two places have increasingly frequent financial cooperation
今年7月，香港又迎來債券"北向通"，令我們對兩地未來的金融產品互聯互通充滿期盼。
In July this year Northbound Trading of Bond Connect was launched in Hong Kong giving us high hopes for the future two - way mutual access of financial products
我期望特區政府加緊跟中央政府商討，盡快放寬更多金融產品互聯互通，包括債券"南向通"、交易所買賣基金互聯互通，甚至"新股通"。
I expect the SAR Government will step up its efforts to discuss with the Central Government to expand expeditiously more financial products for two - way mutual access including the introduction of Southbound Trading of Bond Connect Exchange Traded Fund ETF Connect and even Primary Equity Connect
如果這些措施未能全國推行，也適宜在大灣區內以先行先試的方式進行。
If these initiatives cannot be rolled out nationwide they are suitable for early and pilot implementation in the Bay Area
隨着市場不斷發展，"新股通"能否早日在香港推行，是我們業界最關心的問題，因為一旦事成，外國企業及"一帶一路"的基建企業便可利用本港金融市場的各種優勢進行集資，另再配合內地龐大的資金池，這項舉措將對香港金融市場的地位發揮積極作用，令香港可以成為難以挑戰的國際金融中心。
With the continuous development of the market whether Primary Equity Connect can be launched expeditiously in Hong Kong is a prime concern of the sector . Once Primary Equity Connect is launched foreign enterprises as well as enterprises engaging in infrastructure construction along the Belt and Road countries can capitalize on the advantages of our financial market to raise funds . Backed by a large liquidity pool in the Mainland our financial market can give full play under this initiative and our position as an international financial centre can hardly be challenged
