Xi Jinping’s plan to reset China’s economy and win back friends

Prof. Zhiwu CHEN

Chen Zhiwu, one of several leading economists who expect Beijing to push through a series of pro-growth policies, said he expects 2023’s target will be “6 per cent or higher” — much higher than the IMF’s projection of 4.4 per cent. “Given that they may aim for an average growth rate of 5 per cent and 2022 is likely to deliver about 3 per cent, they need to have something like 7 per cent for 2023,” says Chen, a professor of finance at Hong Kong University. Several other economists have predicted 2023 GDP growth at above 5 per cent.

Dr. Maurice K.S. TSE

在新冠肺炎的影響下，卡塔爾仍成功主辦舉世矚目的世界盃，令全球觀眾盡情投入一股足球熱潮。觀乎今屆賽事，亞洲球隊如日本和南韓表現出色，香港足球發展卻停滯不前，相形見絀。特區政府必須提供更多誘因，吸引投資者注入更多資源，才有望為本地足運帶來生機。香港理應乘此熱潮，追上體育產業化的國際潮流，達致相關產品多元化和效益最大化。
