Attracting Talent
95. The large-scale development projects to be launched require talented people from everywhere. Last year, 28 000 people from different corners of the globe came to work in Hong Kong and settled here. Among them, about 5 500 came from the Mainland. Global competition means that we have to compete for markets as well as talent. Hong Kong's future development requires more talent from the Mainland and overseas. I will modify the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme by relaxing the restrictions on age limit and other prerequisites. We will also actively promote the Scheme in order to attract more Mainland and overseas talent to come and contribute to the development of Hong Kong.
