Hong Kong 2020 - the Big Picture has been published
The BPF initiated this project during the trough of the financial crisis, because we saw the severe recession as having long lasting ramifications for our economy and society. Hong Kong must be ready to respond, to take on the immediate challenge of the economic downturn, to identify and act on new opportunities brought forth by a transformed world economy. Hong Kong is at a crossroads and must act decisively.
