Hong Kong 2020-21 Budget review
Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced a large HK$120 billion fiscal stimulus package in his budget yesterday which will swell Hong Kong’s fiscal deficit to a record-breaking HK$139.1 billion next year. The highlight was a HK$10,000 cash handout to all adult permanent residents.
Other measures included reductions in salaries tax for individuals and profits tax for companies. Small and medium sized businesses will be able to apply for a new 3-year 100% loan guarantee scheme backed by the government of up to HK$2 million each at reduced interest rates. There was a boost for homebuyers. A new pilot fixed-rate mortgage loan scheme will be introduced.
But the measures come at a cost. The Financial Secretary warned that Hong Kong’s finances were on an unsustainable path and the city needs to find new sources of revenues and progressively reduce one-off relief measures or revise tax rates.
On today’s Money Talk, we analyse the Hong Kong budget with Enzio von Pfeil from St. James’s Place, Peter Churchouse of Portwood Capital and Jeremy Choi at PwC Hong Kong.
27/02/2020 - Hong Kong 2020-21 Budget review
Enzio von Pfeil, Associate Partner & Private Wealth Adviser at St. James's Place hopes that Hong Kong will do more to promote its strength as an international financial centre and sees an urgent need to improve the standard of English.
Peter Churchouse, Founder and Managing Director at Portwood Capital says that the 2020-21 budget only takes into account the short term and he hopes that "fundamental, structural and competitive issues" will be addressed.
Jeremy Choi, PwC Hong Kong Tax Partner sees the recently unveiled Future Fund as a fruitful long-term measure that could boost local investments and create more jobs, as it has proven successful in Singapore.
