The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong stated that there are no plans to lower the stock stamp duty.

According to a report by Radio Television Hong Kong quoting Financial Secretary Paul Chan's speech at the Legislative Council meeting, the Hong Kong government has no plans to reduce the stock stamp duty. The increase in stamp duty revenue this fiscal year mainly comes from stock transactions, while property stamp duty has been reduced due to market instability.
