THE GOVERNMENT'S MAIN CONCERN IS TO SAFEGUARD THE INTERESTS OF NON-PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS, THE SECRETARY FOR MONETARY AFFAIRS, MR DAVID NENDICK, SAID TODAY (MONDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE BUSINESS EXECUTIVE WORKSHOP ORGANISED BY THE MANAGEMENT STUDIES SOCIETY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, MR NENDICK SAID THE ECONOMY HAD GROWN RAPIDLY IN RECENT YEARS AND THUS OFFERED HIGH RATES OF RETURN TO THE JUDICIOUS INVESTOR.
"OUR BASIC APPROACH IN GOVERNMENT IS TO LET BUSINESSMEN MAKE THEIR OWN BUSINESS DECISIONS. WE DO NOT DIRECT INVESTMENT WHERE WE THINK IT SHOULD DO SO. WE BELIEVE THAT BUSINESSMEN WILL KNOW BEST.
"OUR POLICY OF MINIMUM INTERFERENCE DOES NOT MEAN, THOUGH, THAT WE FAIL TO TAKE POSITIVE STEPS TO FOSTER A FAVOURABLE INVESTMENT CLIMATE, HE STRESSED.
