香港财政赤字分析

绿皮书首章由刘洋教授撰写,探讨了香港的财政赤字问题。近年来,随着香港的赤字水平创下历史新高,更在发达经济体中排名前列,财政赤字已成为香港特区面临的一项严峻新挑战。研究发现赤字中大部分源自结构性赤字,不能单靠经济增长的被动方式来缓解,而需要主动调整财政政策。土地收入贡献了相当比例的财政收入,但其波动也带来了高风险,往往引发收入的不稳定,因而需要实行更审慎的风险管理。 展望未来,政府需要在缓解赤字与推行财政政策之间做出平衡,而政府已积极主动调整财政政策。另一方面,香港在多年来累积了充足的财政储备,尽管近几年有所下降,但现今储备水平仍处世界前列,下行风险有限。此外,特区政府应当充分利用政府债券计划的额度,为基础设施建设投资筹募资金,同时确保不损害长期财政的可持续性,并藉此促进资本市场发展和人民币国际化。

香港联系汇率制度损益评估

自1983年起,香港一直实施与美元挂的联系汇率制度(联汇制度)。在这40年间,制度运行稳定,顺利应对了多次重大挑战,如1997至1998年的亚洲金融危机和2007至2008年的全球金融危机等。值此制度40周年之际,本文将探讨在新的国际经济形势下联汇制度的现状与发展。基于最新国际经济学研究成果,通过量化指标,分析不同汇率制度对香港的利弊。
