According to South China Morning Post, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stated that based on the latest medium-term forecast, there will be no further withdrawals from the Exchange Fund in the next five years, and the HKD 150 billion withdrawal will not become a norm. He emphasized that the total assets of the Exchange Fund exceed HKD 4.1 trillion, and this withdrawal is only half of last year's investment returns, which will not affect financial stability or the linked exchange rate system. Paul Chan revealed that in the future, the proportion of long-term bond issuance will be increased to better match the cash flow and debt maturity of infrastructure projects; it is expected that the government debt-to-GDP ratio will rise from 14.4% to about 19.9% over the next five years, still remaining at a relatively low level internationally.
