In April of this year, the Hong Kong government announced the "Happy Hong Kong" event. Chen Maobo, the director of the Financial Secretary, said that "I hope everyone will work together to consume more in Hong Kong.
As a result, the consumption of citizens is either spent in Shenzhen or in Japan.Hong Kong's retail sales have fallen for three months, and the revenue of restaurants has not returned to 2019.
So now, the government has launched "Hong Kong's night". Chen Maobo expressed his hope that "everyone came out to recreate and relax together, which made the atmosphere of our evening market."
"Happy Hong Kong" has held a large -scale gourmet market set.Summer Haiku Carnival, Ocean Park, Disneyland, and West Kowloon Cultural District responded to different activities.
"Hong Kong Night Colorful" includes shopping mall activities and extending business hours. The preferential price takes the special route of Kaimong Bus Night Tour.On weekends and evening activities, the science museum, art museum, space hall, and large museum launched evening activities, and re -organized the tour of wine and wine, National Day Fireworks Show, etc.
The content is different, but the nature is close.Even if the citizens do not understand economics, they will be confused: if "happy Hong Kong" work, why should it be "Hong Kong's night"?If "Happy Hong Kong" does not work, why is "Hong Kong's Colorful Night" success?
What is the reason for "Hong Kong Night Is Not FUN"?
Director mentioned that the concept of "Hong Kong Night" is that the living habits of citizens have changed because of the three -year epidemic, and they go out less at night."We don't know how much this inference is established, which requires consumer habits to investigate and analyze economics research.However, if Hong Kong people are really used to not going out at night, the merchants should close the door early should be a natural result. Extending business and increasing whether the night activities can be changed into a cause. There is a certain question here.
Furthermore, if the cause involves other economic factors, the required solutions will be different.For example, in the past six months, the stock market and property market have continued to be sluggish. Some people think that under the influence of wealth effects, citizens naturally tend to reduce expenses.For example, interest rates have continued to rise, and banks 'regular deposits are attractive. The total amount of Hong Kong dollars in July has reached 3.97 trillion (Hong Kong dollars, the same below), which is the largest scale, which may also affect citizens' consumption desire.
In terms of spending power, the monthly income of the two (engaged in economic activities) of the two (engaged in economic activities) is the latest of 31100 yuan, and the family of three people is 37,600 yuan, which is only 3.7%and 5.9 compared with the same period in 2019, respectively.%, After deducting inflation, wait for no growth.
But on the other hand, many Hong Kong people who go north of Shenzhen or travel to Japan seem to be quite willing to consume locally. Does this mean that they think that products and services in foreign countries are more cost -effective?In addition to the exchange rate factors, is Hong Kong's products and diet prices too high?Many small shops choose to open a restaurant in industrial buildings such as camel paint, not without reason.The private retail rental index has risen to a year and a half, of which the rent per square meter in Kowloon and the New Territories has reached the level of 2019.In addition to extending business and increasing night activities, I believe there are more factors that affect the attractiveness of Hong Kong's retail and catering industry.
Under the leadership of Chen Maobo, "Hong Kong Night Colorful", Huang Weilun, deputy director of the Hong Kong Department of Finance, Yang Runxiong, director of the Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau, Ning Hanhao, director of the Development Bureau, and He Yongxian, director of the Housing Bureau, each participated.However, financial and economic factors are related to the work of the Financial Affairs and Treasury Bureau. The employment income of the citizens is the scope of the Labor and Welfare Bureau and the Business and Economic Development Bureau.It has a certain relationship with the Development Bureau, the Environment and Ecological Bureau.If the Li Family Super Government does not comprehensively plan, for the short -term and composition causes, he is afraid that after the "Hong Kong night is colorful", it will have to do more three, four, and five activities.
