促放寬至「0+0」檢疫安排 總商會:商界目前是「屋漏偏逢連夜雨」
總商會總裁梁兆基在電台節目表示,商界冀望港府盡快放寬入境檢疫至「0+0」,惟直言即使在10、11月放寬,料第四季經濟亦未必可受惠,遠未達致復常,又指若仍未能與內地通關,相信難以回復以往的優勢。
他解釋,本地大型活動要一至兩個月籌備,海外商貿活動若遷回香港舉辦更加需時,預料最快明年首季才可看到相關效益。
他表示,目前本港商界是「屋漏偏逢連夜雨」,一方面急需轉型,尋找在「反全球化」下重新定位,另一方面外國經濟差、通脹高企、歐美市場呆滯,甚至面對戰爭威脅,加上受疫情影響,完全沒可能作任何部署,指本港面對的問題相當艱巨。
他指,企業租賃寫字樓及招聘人手等安排,不能在短期內逆轉,加上本港與新加坡條件「叮噹馬頭」,企業未必太容易重返香港營商。
梁兆基指,總商會早前進行會員調查顯示,約30%大型企業在上半年疫情較嚴重時表明,會考慮或已經遷離香港,當中約10%企業屬永久遷離,形容已響起非常緊迫的警號;又指政府要盡快意識到本港人才流失的嚴重性,若未能及時補充人才,可能會令經濟出現重大的結構性危機。
