What happened
Hong Kong unveiled its first five-year plan for economic and social development (2026-30) in September 2026, marking a major transformation in its governance. The plan outlines five core goals, including boosting the efficiency of the Northern Metropolis and integrating into the overall national development strategy. This initiative followed a public consultation launched in June 2026, which aligned the plan with mainland China's 15th five-year plan.
