The Government announced today (May 28) the reappointment of 54 members of the Chief Executive's Policy Unit (CEPU) Expert Group and the appointment of five new Expert Group members, with the term to be effective for one year starting from May 30, 2024.
As an advisory body, the CEPU Expert Group was established in May 2023 and consists of members of different backgrounds including business, finance, professionals, think-tanks and academia to provide expert views and new ideas to the CEPU on various topics. To facilitate the work of the Expert Group and its conduct of more focused discussions, members of the Expert Group are assigned into three broad streams, namely the Economic Advancement Expert Group, the Social Development Expert Group and the Research Strategy Expert Group.
The Head of the CEPU, Dr Stephen Wong, expressed his gratitude to the Expert Group members for their valuable insights and innovative ideas with a zeal for Hong Kong in their respective fields over the past year, and welcomed the new members on board. He said, "The CEPU and the Expert Group members maintained positive and efficient interactions over the past year. We have conducted four plenary meetings, three group meetings, and more than 20 individual meetings to consult the views of Expert Group members on various topics. The CEPU has also organised forums, seminars, sharing sessions, visits and more other activities to enhance the exchanges and interactions between CEPU and the Expert Group members.
"I look forward to the Expert Group members working together in tendering expert views and new ideas for the longer-term development of Hong Kong in the coming year. The CEPU will also continue to reach out and tap into the views from all walks of life in society to assist the Government in forging 'A Vibrant Economy for a Caring Community'."
