Paul Chan optimistic about financial market in Year of the Horse

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said he is cautiously optimistic about the financial market in the Year of the Horse following a record performance in Year of the Snake. 

Speaking at the market open ceremony, Chan said fluctuations are inevitable in the year ahead amid a complex external environment, but he believes Hong Kong’s market will, like a fine horse, continue its resilience and vigour despite all the challenges.

He added that Hong Kong must spur itself on and strive to move to the forefront.
