SNAPSHOTS OF HONG KONG BUDGET 2026/2027
The Hong Kong Budget 2026/27, articulates the Government’s fiscal strategy for strengthening the city’s economic resilience and long-term competitiveness in an increasingly complex global environment. This Budget, delivered on 25 February 2026 by the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan is guided by the overarching theme of “Driving High-quality, Inclusive Growth with Innovation and Finance”.
Driven by an impressive fiscal position brought about by stronger economic performance and buoyant capital markets, Hong Kong has been able to enhance its public, financial position ahead of earlier forecasts. This includes a return to an operating surplus and the anticipated consolidation of consolidated fiscal balances, supported by robust revenue growth and prudent expenditure management.
Aligned with the first of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, this Budget underscores Hong Kong’s commitment to embracing innovation and technology, deepening its role as a regional and international financial hub, and supporting diversified economic development particularly in the Greater Bay Area.
It balances forward-looking investments with proactive fiscal stewardship, ensuring that public resources are deployed to nurture economic transformation while strengthening support for people and businesses alike.
