Plan outlines development of integrated region

Greater economic power envisioned through cross-border connectivity, infrastructure

Business and technology professionals in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area said the newly released blueprint would fuel the region's economic growth and consolidate Hong Kong's pivotal role in the national master plan.

"The outline sets out key directions guiding the development of the Greater Bay Area," the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city's de facto central bank, said on Monday. "The HKMA will proactively follow up with mainland authorities to implement the related policy initiatives."
