On this programme, we take a closer look at the 2026-27 Budget.
For the first time in four years, the government recorded a surplus. Financial Secretary Paul Chan said Hong Kong's public finances have improved faster than expected due to a buoyant equity market and accelerated economic growth. Mr Chan said the improvement in the government's fiscal health enables it to considerably increase its support for citizens and enterprises this year.
After that, we heard more about a recent medical breakthrough. University of Hong Kong researchers have found that a diabetes drug may help restore fertility in women with ovarian insufficiency.
