Financial Secretary
The Financial Secretary's primary responsibility is to assist the Chief Executive in overseeing policy formulation and implementation in financial, monetary, economic, trade and employment matters.
Financial Secretary John Tsang and his wife today visited a family at Kwun Lung Lau in Kennedy Town for a festive dinner to celebrate the coming of the Lunar New Year.
Accompanied by Central & Western District Council member Ip Kwok-him, Mr and Mrs Tsang were welcomed by four generations of the Lo family. They prepared traditional dishes and the Tsangs brought family recipe braised beef brisket casserole.
Mr Tsang discussed a range of topics with his hosts over dinner, including the price of food and daily living costs in Hong Kong. He said the Government's main aim in developing the economy is to build a prosperous and caring Hong Kong, a place where everyone can live and work happily.
"For my upcoming Budget, the objectives include consolidating our economic recovery, developing the economy and building a caring society," Mr Tsang added.
With the Year of the Rabbit approaching, Mr Tsang wished the Lo family a happy and healthy new year. He said he looked forward to Hong Kong continuing its economic and social development in the year ahead.
