Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui: 

I think right now the immediate priority is definitely to revive the economy because after all, we have been subjected to many restrictions on all you can imagine in the past few months due to COVID-19. So the immediate priority is really for us to act together to revive the economy through different measures. And the measures that are subject to the Legislative Council's approval as you have seen over the past few days, I think are definitely something that we want to do in order to provide a sort of foundation for our economic recovery.

The Government is set to revive the economy through different measures and everyone should act together to attain this goal.
