2026 marks the commencement of the nation’s 15th Five-Year Plan as well as Hong Kong’s very own First Five-Year Plan, signalling a highly encouraging shift from “alignment” to “proactive planning”. To reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a global business hub, and premier “Go Global” destination for the Chinese Mainland, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce has been following the development of this updated blueprint for the city since day one.
