These Are the Winners and Losers From Hong Kong’s 2026 Budget

Hong Kong’s technology and financial companies are poised to benefit from the city’s spending plan as the government accelerates artificial intelligence adoption across sectors.

The government will establish a committee to promote AI use in industries and earmark at least HK$30 billion ($3.8 billion) to accelerate the development of a border tech hub, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said in his budget speech on Wednesday. Authorities will also support the bond market, with plans to launch a trading platform for the asset later this year, and requested the city’s stock exchange to review listing rules for aerospace firms.
