The plan sets 105 indicators and aims to nearly double innovation spending to 3% of GDP while lifting manufacturing and new industries to 5.5%.
- On Wednesday, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu unveiled the First Five-Year Plan for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, setting binding and aspirational targets through 2030 alongside his 2026 Policy Address.
- Aligned with China's 15th five-year plan, the blueprint consolidates Hong Kong's role under the "Four Centres, One Hub" strategy, strengthening its position as an international financial, maritime, and trade centre.
- Binding targets for the Northern Metropolis megaproject aim to raise "spade-ready sites" to 900 hectares by 2030, while housing projects increase spacious flats to 25 per cent from the original 20 per cent.
- Implementing an "AI City Brain" system will strengthen responses to extreme weather and public order incidents, while innovation spending increases to 3 per cent of GDP and subsidies support 10,000 new jobs.
- Lee expressed confidence that binding targets, including cutting carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 32.5 per cent, will foster a more technologically empowered Hong Kong and improve living standards by 2030.
