Reporter: Do you think there is any room for the Hong Kong authorities to offer some kind of concessionary policies to attract foreign businesses from Thailand because some businessmen said there may be too high cost for labour and land in Hong Kong?
Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development: As announced in the Policy Address, the Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) Government is going to introduce a series of measures and policies to assist with the business settlement in Hong Kong, including land, tax, finance, education, visas, and set aside some funding as well for co-investment. These are the policies already announced in the Policy Address.
