Hong Kong’s government has unveiled its most expensive coronavirus financial relief package so far, earmarking HK$137.5 billion (US$18 billion) to save failing businesses in the city. The financial secretary of Hong Kong Paul Chan Mo-po told the South China Morning Post in an interview on April 15, 2020 that he is “very confident to withstand any financial attack” even if the government is digging deep into its fiscal reserves amid the coronavirus pandemic.
