“A lot are done to help the economy to grow. What is important is – what we can strengthen, we’ll strengthen. At the same time, we look for new opportunities of grow. That is why for some areas, we are recommending measures which I think is only probably 10 percent of the final goal that I want to go. Some maybe at a position of 20 percent, so all these things work together.”

“The economy still grows, the GDP is expected also to grow within 2.5 and 3.5 percent and some analysts have suggest a rate 3 percent. So overall, we are still growing. The economy is still going ahead. But of course different sectors are at different stages and I have to tell those sectors. If you are not doing too well, I will roll out measures to help you.”

STORYLINE:
Hong Kong leader John Lee claimed on Wednesday that the territory was on track to see GDP growth this year.
Lee came out to talk to the media after his annual policy address on Wednesday.
Local media asked him questions about his plans to try to tackle Hong Kong’s housing problem.
Lee has announced a proposal to make rules about subdivided apartments. Many poor people in Hong Kong live in tiny spaces with rundown conditions, where property owners have chopped up old apartments to make multiple tiny units. But it’s not yet clear how this policy will work, and Lee said it would take years to work it out.
He talked for more than two hours in his policy address on Wednesday morning.
Lee also hosted a long press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
He has planned to appear on live TV programme to explain his policy to people in Hong Kong in the evening.
