Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee delivers maiden policy address on Wednesday;
China"s “big three” gas suppliers ramp up output to ensure winter supply.
Greater Bay Area, Greater future新使命，大未来
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) John Lee pledged to attract enterprises, investment and talents to enhance competitiveness as he delivered his first policy address on Wednesday.
"We must be more proactive and aggressive in "competing for enterprises" and "competing for talents,"" as Hong Kong is one of the most competitive economies in the world and also serves as an important gateway connecting the Chinese mainland with global markets, Lee said.
The CE announced a new Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited (HKIC) consolidating the Hong Kong Growth Portfolio, the GBA Investment Fund and the Strategic Tech Fund to further optimise the use of fiscal reserves for promoting the development of industries and the economy.
Also, an Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises as well as Talents Service Unit will be set up to attract mainland and overseas enterprises, he said. The government will set aside HK$30 billion from the Future Fund to establish the Co-Investment Fund for attracting enterprises to set up operations in Hong Kong and investing in their business.
In amulti-pronged approach to stem brain drain and encourage overseas talent to settle in the city, a program named Top Talent Pass Scheme will be launched, existing talent admission schemes will be enhanced, employment visas will be extended to a maximum of three years, and non-local graduates will be allowed to remain in the city for two years instead of one. The government will also make a pilot scheme that encourages enterprises in the GBA to hire Hong Kong university graduates.
Also, the annual quota of 4,000 under the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) will be suspended for two years and eligible incoming talents, upon becoming permanent residents, will be allowed to apply for a refund of the extra stamp duty paid for purchasing residential property in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, pointing out how national strategies including the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Greater Bay Area development plan and the Belt and Road Initiative had boosted the growth of Hong Kong, Lee said: "Our priority is to reinforce our position as an international financial centre, and promote the development of two emerging industries, namely I&T and arts and culture.” He said HK$10 billion will be earmarked to launch the "Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme" (RAISe+ Scheme) next year.
10月19日，香港特区行政长官李家超发表任内首份施政报告，提出了一系列新措施招商引资引才，强化香港竞争力。
施政报告提出，香港特区政府将成立多个单位，专责招揽企业和人才来港发展，并优化多项输入人才计划，加强吸引力。李家超表示，中国香港是全球最具竞争力的经济体之一，也是中国内地对接国际市场的重要窗口，因此必须更积极和进取地“抢企业、抢人才”。
在特区政府投资的“治理体系”方面，已指示财政司司长成立全新“香港投资管理有限公司”，进一步用好财政储备以促进产业和经济发展，把近年在“未来基金”下设立的“香港增长组合”“大湾区投资基金”和“策略性创科基金”，以及全新成立的“共同投资基金”归一收纳，汇聚有关资源，由政府主导投资策略产业，吸引和助力更多企业在港发展。计划从未来基金拨出300亿元设立共同投资基金，以引进和投资落户香港的企业。
此外，香港特区政府会设立100亿元“产学研1+计划”，由明年开始以配对形式资助不少于100支有潜质成为初创企业的大学研发团队分两期完成其项目：第一期是三年内成功把科研成果转化落地，第二期是随后两年内把科研成果商品化。
李家超指出，除积极培养和挽留本地人才，香港特区政府也会以更进取的态度吸纳外来人才，其中一项措施是成立由政务司司长率领的人才服务窗口，专责制订并统筹招揽内地和海外人才的策略和工作，以及向来港人才提供一站式支援，目标为每年吸纳至少3.5万名人才。
此外，香港特区政府会推出为期两年的高端人才通行证计划。针对一般就业政策和输入内地人才计划，特区政府会放宽多项规定，如输入人才的职位属13项本地人才短缺的专业等，雇主无须证明本地招聘困难，可直接提出申请。现行的优秀人才入境计划会取消年度配额，为期两年，并优化审批程序。科技人才入境计划下雇主须同时增聘本地雇员的规定也会撤销，以加快输入人才步伐。
另一方面，非本地毕业生留港期限由一年延长至两年，方便他们留港工作。为鼓励外来人才长远留港，合资格人士居港七年并成为香港永久性居民后，可就其已购入和持有的首个住宅物业申请退还买家印花税和新住宅印花税。
