Self-description: "The Asian financial crisis, bursting of the dotcom bubble, world economic downturn, and 911 terrorist attacks have all dealt heavy blows to the Hong Kong economy. By mid-2002, the unemployment rate had reached more than 7%. Are the economic ills now confronting Hong Kong transient, or, are they symptoms of larger and longer problems to come? How can the HKSAR Government and community strengthen Hong Kong's economic future? "
