Hong Kong to Unveil First Five-Year Plan and 2026 Policy Address on Feb 16

A first five-year plan marks a shift in how Hong Kong frames its own policy horizon, moving from annual addresses toward multi-year signalling. For crypto and RWA watchers, the substance is what matters, not the covers: whether digital-asset and tokenisation initiatives appear as standing priorities rather than one-off mentions. The stated long-term framing suggests continuity across budget cycles, which is the real variable for firms weighing where to base regulated activity. Whether the plan translates into concrete licensing or sandbox commitments is the open question.
