Tsang said legislative elections in September would exacerbate tensions and traced the city’s woes back to major demonstrations in 2014.
Describing the economic outlook as “far from promising,” Tsang said growth for 2016 would be between 1 and 2 percent — down from last year’s 2.4 percent — weighed by US interest rate rises, a lull in exports and a slowdown in tourism.
The property market in the city had also taken a hit, with prices falling 9 percent since October, Tsang said.
The bleak forecast comes as the Chinese mainland’s economy slows, impacting regional and global markets.
In a city where the wealth gap is widening, Tsang announced a HK$38.8 billion (US$5 billion) relief package Homme Nike Shox Gravity Gunsmoke Grise Pas Cher , including a 75 percent reduction in income tax.
Some economists said core sectors, including trade, property and finance, were in trouble and needed longer-term solutions.
“More one-off relief measures were always likely given the weaker outlook for the Hong Kong and global economy,” said John Zhu, an economist for HSBC, who said the budget was no surprise.
“The long-term challenges are not something that can be solved in a single budget Homme Nike Shox Gravity Metallic Gold Grise Pas Cher ,” he said. “But the support for SMEs, technology and innovation is certainly what Hong Kong could do with.”
After a stint of healthy surpluses, including HK$30 billion for the current financial year, Tsang said he expected the city to run up deficits in its consolidated accounts for two years starting from 2018, largely due to the need to pay for health care reform and retirement protection.
Tsang also unveiled stimulus measures for industry and said the long-awaited Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect — designed to open up stocks to investors both sides of the border — was ready to go, subject to Beijing’s green light.
He finished with a quote from late US president John F. Kennedy, saying: “Our problems are man-made Femme Nike Shox TLX Rose Noir Pas Cher , therefore they can be solved by man.”
Small groups of protesters gathered outside the government offices during the speech, mainly to call for better pensions.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. lawmaker John Conyers, a long-term civil right icon for many Americans, stepped down as the ranking Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee on Sunday, amid a probe over multiple sexual harassment accusations against him.
However, Conyers said he denied the allegations Homme Nike Shox Avenue Tout Noir Pas Cher , but was stepping down because of the ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation.
"I deny these allegations, many of which were raised by documents reportedly paid for by a partisan alt-right blogger. I very much look forward to vindicating myself and my family before the House Committee on Ethics," the 27-term congressman said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called for "due process" before making conclusions about Conyers, repeating that she wants to see the investigation of Conyers play out.
"John Conyers is an icon in our country. He has done a great deal to protect women," said Pelosi on NBC's "Meet The Press" program, citing the Violence Against Women Act which she said Conyers had contributed a lot.
Asked if she believes the accusations against Conyers Homme Nike Shox TLX Blanche Noir Pas Cher , Pelosi said: "I do not know who they are. Do you? They have not really come forward."
Pelosi later said in a statement: "Zero tolerance means consequences. I have asked for an ethics investigation, and as that investigation continues, Congressman Conyers has agreed to step aside as Ranking Member."
Conyers'office recently confirmed issuing a settlement of 27,000 dollars to a former staffer who says she was fired for resisting the congressman's sexual advances, according to a NBC news report.
Conyers has acknowledged the payout, which he said amounted to a severance package, but he denied the allegations about what it was for Homme Nike Shox Current Cuir Tout Noir Pas Cher , said the report.
Pelosi was also asked whether she would accept an apology from Democratic Senator Al Franken, who has apologized after being accused of unwanted touching from multiple women, if no other accusers surfaced.
"His accusers have to accept an apology," Pelosi said. "The victims have some say in all of this, as well. And that has happened in the past. People have accepted an apology, as is coming forth now that I see in the press."
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that he will nominate Alex Azar Femme Nike Shox OZ D Noir Rose Pas Cher , a former pharmaceutical executive, to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
"Happy to announce, I am nominating Alex Azar to be the next HHS Secretary," Trump tweeted.
