Economy continues to improve, policy dividends intensive landing

According to the Budget data, Hong Kong's overall economic growth will reach 3.5% in 2025, realizing an increase for three consecutive years. Based on its assessment of the global and local economic situation, the Hong Kong Government forecasts that the Hong Kong economy will achieve a growth of 2.5% to 3.5% in 2026, and the momentum of development will continue to improve.

The strong performance of the economic fundamentals has provided sufficient backing for the Government to launch policies that benefit the people and enterprises. A series of genuinely favorable policies have been formally implemented in this budget:

The individual tax burden has been significantly reduced:

Reduction of salaries tax and tax under personal assessment for the year of assessment 2025/26 for 100%, subject to a ceiling of $3,000 per case, benefiting about 2.12 million taxpayers

Basic allowance increased from $132,000 to $145,000

Child allowance increased from $130,000 to $140,000, benefiting 360,000 taxpayers

Dependent parent/grandparent allowance raised across the board, up to $55,000, benefiting 830,000 people

Multiple support for business development:

Reduction of profits tax for the year of assessment 2025/26 for 100%, subject to a ceiling of $3,000, benefiting about 171,000 enterprises

"Injection of $200 million into the BUD Special Fund and raising the funding ceiling of the ESD Scheme to $150,000 per case

"Extension of the application period of the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme to end-March 2028

People's welfare has been increased across the board:

Relief of rates for domestic and non-domestic properties for the first two quarters of 2026/27

Extra half-month of CSSA, OAA, OALA and DA payments

The Working Families Allowance is also paid for an additional half-month, with an estimated additional expenditure of about $3.1 billion

From working talents to the elderly, from grass-roots families to business owners, the advancement of welfare reforms in this Budget has benefited all walks of life in Hong Kong. Behind all this is the underpinning of Hong Kong's sufficiently strong economic fundamentals - the outstanding performance of the stock market and the accelerated economic growth over the past year, with stamp duty and profits tax increasing by a total of nearly $50 billion over the original budget.
