HongKong's finance minister pledges bold spending to boost growth

The finance official also had a message for currency speculators by ruling out any change in the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the greenback, a favourite guessing game during periods of economic stress.

The International Monetary Fund has urged the city's government to ramp up spending to support the economy. Business owners have called for more support amid little sign of a circuit breaker in the political dispute. Economists have criticised the response as"peanuts". The announced stimulus spending amounts to just less than 1 per cent of Hong Kong's GDP while the city's fiscal reserve stood at HK$1.05 trillion as at October.Chan provided no signals about government plans to break the political impasse, other than saying he is confident a resolution will be found.
