This annual publication serves as a testament to the exceptional dedication and rigorous analysis undertaken by our esteemed academic community in addressing the myriad economic opportunities and challenges that Hong Kong faces today.

In the wake of the global pandemic and amidst rising geopolitical tensions, it is more critical than ever for our city to forge a clear and strategic path forward. With the sustained efforts and unparalleled expertise of the scholars at the University of Hong Kong, this year's Green Paper provides invaluable insights and guidance to shaping a prosperous and resilient future.

The Green Paper was prepared by HKU faculty members, researchers and other internationally renowned scholars, who have conducted in-depth policy analysis and proposed recommendations for various pressing issues in Hong Kong. Topics include the city’s future as an international financial centre, maintaining the linked exchange rate system, income inequality and wealth gap, the impact of ageing population in health spending, reducing public housing waiting time, talent retainment and attraction, commercialisation of intellectual property as well as strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub.
