Experts warn Hong Kong's civil servant pay cuts could worsen financial deficit

Credited from: SCMP

  • Experts suggest that reducing civil servant salaries in Hong Kong might be counterproductive for managing the government's financial deficit.
  • Lawmaker Andrew Lam Siu-lo and Terence Chong, an academic, recommend delaying minor infrastructure projects instead.
  • Chong estimates the government could recover about HK$100 billion from stock stamp duty and selling assets.
  • Both experts emphasize the need for the government to prioritize essential public works amid a projected deficit of HK$100 billion.
  • Chong advocates for involving the private sector in infrastructure projects to reduce public spending.
