[Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Announces New Budget to Be Released on February 25] Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan disclosed in his published blog that the new annual Budget for Hong Kong will be released on February 25. He stated that, benefiting from the active financial market, including increased revenue from stamp duty, the overall income has risen, allowing the operating account of the Special Administrative Region (SAR) government to return to surplus ahead of schedule. However, due to increased government investment in public works projects, the capital account for this fiscal year will still record a deficit. Additionally, in response to suggestions about introducing a gold-pegged stablecoin, Paul Chan pointed out that the development of stablecoins needs to proceed step by step. In the future, after completing preliminary work, the possibility of pegging to gold or other assets will be considered, emphasizing the need to handle related matters prudently.
