    2025 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking / HKTDC Export confidence index / Dual immunotherapy treatment for liver cancer

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we spoke to experts about Hong Kong's significant improvement in its competitiveness. 
    The city has been named the third-most globally competitive economy in the world, climbing two places from last year, according to the 2025 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking. 
    Chief Executive John Lee hailed the report, saying it highlights Hong Kong's world-class business environment and reflects the positive views of business leaders.
    After the break, we talked to a representative from the Trade Development Council to learn more about its latest Export Confidence Index and 2025 export forecast.
    And finally, we heard from an expert about a dual immunotherapy treatment for liver cancer that has received approval from three major health authorities for global use.

    Octopus JoyYou card discounts / Australia's "right to disconnect" law

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about a special promotion involving the personalised JoyYou Octopus card, aimed at encouraging activity for the elderly and boosting local spending.

    For a two-week period starting from Wednesday, card holders will receive an $8 reward for every $100 spent with participating businesses -- with a maximum rebate amount capped at $800 per user.
    Starting from last Sunday, residents aged 60 or over now need to use a JoyYou card in in order to benefit from $2 public transport concessionary fares. The change was introduced to tackle fraudulent
    use of anonymous cards by non-eligible travellers.
    So will this promotion encourage older people to go out and about more frequently? And will it help to boost consumption?
    After 9:45, we'll learn more about Australia's new "right to disconnect law", for employees when they're off duty. It's similar to laws in some parts of Europe and Latin America. But could such a concept ever take hold here?
