Here Are the Winners And Losers of Hong Kong’s Policy Address

Hong Kong’s construction and tech firms are set to get a boost as the government aims to speed up the development of the Northern Metropolis project.

The city is accelerating work on a cross-border tech hub that spans 300 square kilometers, Chief Executive John Lee said in his annual speech on Wednesday. This will provide a prospective growth driver for a fragile economy. Plans to attract more high value-added industries including advanced manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies will also help prospects for Hong Kong.
