Hong Kong Maritime and Port Development Board: Measures in two important policy documents inject new impetus into the long-term development of Hong Kong's international shipping centre.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that on September 16, the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Development Board welcomed a series of measures to promote the development of the maritime and port industries announced by the SAR government in the "Hong Kong First Five-Year Plan" and the "Chief Executive's 2026 Policy Address." The "Hong Kong First Five-Year Plan" provides forward-looking, strategic, and directional guidance for Hong Kong's economic and social development over the next five years; the "Policy Address" sets out the annual policy priorities for implementing the "Hong Kong First Five-Year Plan," and the two are closely linked and consistent in approach. In the face of profound changes in the international geopolitical and trade landscape, the measures proposed in the two important policy documents on maritime and port development will help the industry seize new opportunities, enhance competitiveness, and inject new momentum into the long-term development of Hong Kong's international shipping center.
