有说法指政府财政"发债当作收入"，许正宇称，香港政府财政账目是以现金记账，安排高度透明，而中 期预测2030至31年度政府债务与香港本地生产总值比率为19.9%，认为债券发行属可控水平。 他指，相信有关安排能让香港经济更多元化，更好结合"有为政府"和"高效市场"，产业的基础更巩固， 而不只是聚焦于服务业。 香港新一份《财政预算案》提出，从外汇基金转拨1500亿港元，支持北部都会区及其他基建项目。香港 财经事务及库务局局长许正宇在电台节目表示，转拨外汇基金以投资工务工程并非常态化安排，期望当 政府投入更多资金后，能刺激市场，吸引多元资本参与北部都会区发展。 对于5年前曾表示随便动用外汇基金可能会动摇市场对联系汇率制度的信心。许正宇表示，香港政府与 评级机构等沟通后，虽然转拨会令外汇基金的盈利减少，但本身外汇基金有正增长，亦无损抵御风险和 确保金融稳定能力。 ...

不过，其关键亦在于政府如何清晰界定公共与商业角色，确保长远产业发展目标、土地用途及回报分配 的透明度，以吸引私人市场参与。若配合清晰规划、分阶段落实及严谨监管，公私营合作模式将能成为 推动北部都会区产业化的重要工具。 该行提出，政府可考虑锁定及引入战略性的"锚机构"，并避免各个片区产业功能模糊的局面，以确立片 区定位和提升片区吸引力，期望政府能尽快落实并公布相关大学及科技产业进驻的细节，增强发展商对 于落户北都及片区开发的信心。同时乐见政府采纳其早前建议，落实北都地价缴付弹性安排，有助纾缓 企业开发土地的现金流压力，提升公私营合作模式与产业导入的可行性与速度。 根据积金局数据，截至2025年12月底，强积金总资产升至约1.55万亿港元，突破历史新高。若香港政府 容许运用一定比例资产(例如10%)投资于北部都会区发展的长期债券，既能为北都建设提供稳定的资金 来源，亦能为强积金成员提供多一个风险相对较低、回报较为稳定的投资选项，达致双赢局面。 戴德梁行又指，在北都推动公私营合作模式，可提升执行效率及减轻政府财政压力，有助加快及落实北 都发展，亦能善用市场效率与创新能力。 戴德梁行香港董事总经理萧亮辉就2026/2 ...
