Budget Forecast Sparks Concerns Over Inflation and Purchasing Power
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing development of the 2050 revenue forecast, emphasizing the need to balance budget allocations amid rising inflation concerns. The meeting highlighted the challenges of maintaining purchasing power as inflation continues to erode financial resources.

Mister Ho King raised concerns regarding the proposed planning budget, noting the absence of adjustments for inflation, which could diminish purchasing power over time. He pointed out that while the bridge and tunnel enterprise is experiencing growth, other areas may face funding limitations. In response, officials acknowledged the necessity of trade-offs in budget allocations, stressing that maintaining current funding levels is the best recommendation given the constraints.

The discussion also touched on the importance of correlating budget allocations with performance metrics. Officials expressed a desire to connect funding levels with the outcomes reflected in the scorecard, which evaluates the performance of various assets. This connection aims to identify areas needing adjustment to improve overall performance.

The meeting concluded with a transition to the next agenda item, focusing on Policy Directive 14 and its associated scorecard, indicating a continued commitment to performance evaluation and strategic planning. The next workshop will further explore the measures outlined in this directive.
