Our Articles

May 2026 | Northern Metropolis

Our research suggests that, for the Northern Metropolis to avoid repeating the mistakes of Tin Shui Wai, the solution lies not only in accelerating housing supply, but also in restructuring the public housing system—shifting it from a rental-led model to a subsidised homeownership-led model. We therefore recommend increasing the proportion of subsidised sale flats in the Northern Metropolis, alongside youth family quotas, ballot weighting, and lower down-payment arrangements. Taken together, these measures would provide a clearer, more attainable pathway for young people to buy homes, build stability, and plan their future in Hong Kong.

April 2026 | Hong Kong Five-Year Plan

Our research suggests that a Hong Kong five-year plan can draw on the planning experience of capitalist economies such as Singapore and South Korea. Grounded in Hong Kong’s own circumstances, it should focus on practical and achievable strategic priorities, with competitiveness, industrial transformation, innovation and technology development, and resilience as its core themes.

March 2026 | Hong Kong Amid the Middle East Conflict

US President Donald Trump’s tariff war, together with the escalating conflict in the Middle East, has dealt a blow to the global economy. We examine the risks and opportunities facing Hong Kong amid this turmoil. While external risks are rising, the crisis may also further highlight Hong Kong’s role as a free port, an international financial centre, and an offshore renminbi hub.

Policy research cannot happen without your support. Together, we can build a better future for Hong Kong.
