The following is issued on behalf of the Executive Council Secretariat:
The Convenor of Non-official Members of the Executive Council (Exco), Mr Leung Chun-ying, and his fellow non-official members believe the new round of relief measures announced by the Financial Secretary, Mr John C Tsang this afternoon (May 26) is timely and sensible and will help the business environment as well as preserve and promote employment. The revenue concessions in the relief package which intend to ease the pressure on people's livelihoods will help tide them over the economic difficulties brought about by the global recession.
Exco non-official members hoped that Hong Kong people would stand united and, with the support of the new round of relief measures, work together with unflinching determination for an early recovery of Hong Kong's economy.
