A Hong Kong government-appointed working group recommended that HK$220 billion ($28 billion) of reserves from land sales be turned into a savings fund to help tackle projected fiscal deficits.
The Working Group on Long-Term Fiscal Planning suggested that the government set up the fund as soon as possible and contribute a fixed percentage of its surplus for at least 10 years, according to its report released yesterday.
