Hong Kong releases its first Five-Year Plan (2026–2030)
The Hong Kong government has released its first Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), marking a shift toward long-term, systematic governance. The plan aims to address critical livelihood issues, specifically aging urban districts and a rapidly aging population.
Key focus areas include urban renewal, improving subdivided flats, and enhancing elderly services. The strategy emphasizes a ‘home-based care first’ approach, while also optimizing medical support for elderly residents traveling to the mainland. The plan integrates housing, poverty alleviation, and infrastructure development.
Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Che Siu-wah, stated that the government will monitor progress through annual Policy Addresses to ensure stability and maintain investor confidence. The plan includes 22 major indicators, five of which are binding. The development process involved collecting over 17,000 public opinions, which were processed using artificial intelligence.
