How expanding China-led economic bloc Brics adds to the yuan’s global clout
Prof. Zhiwu CHEN
Brazil, Russia and China are “the most serious” about de-dollarisation, said Chen at the University of Hong Kong. “As long as enough people can believe in a certain payment system, then the system becomes more of a reality,” he said.

Gig Economy: A Pivotal Element for Economic Transformation
Gig Economy: A Pivotal Element for Economic Transformation
Prof. Heiwai TANG
從勞工角度看，平台經濟打破了傳統的僱傭關係。平台企業創造了各種靈活的工作方式，包括常見的社交平台內容創作者、Uber司機、外賣送遞員等等。此類常被稱為「零工」（gig work）的工種，一方面令人感嘆技術為就業帶來方便，但另一方面也常令人擔憂一個大企業壟斷市場，欺壓平台從業員的可能性。

Is China Stumbling in a Deflation Trap?
Prof. Yanhui WU
去年2月，筆者在本專欄撰文，剖析新冠肺炎疫情之後出現的東滯西脹現象。一年半之後的今天，西脹回落，東滯猶在。本月9日，中國經濟運行的統計數據公布，7月份消費價格指數比去年同期下降0.3%，出現了自2021年2月以來的首次按年負增長；不僅如此，生產價格指數的按年跌幅為4.4%，延續6月的下降趨勢。

China’s Economy Isn’t Ailing—It’s ‘Evolving’: IPO Lawyers Told to Watch Their Language
Prof. Zhiwu CHEN
“As long as stock issuers lay out the good and the bad, they will not be held accountable if these bad things—which hopefully will never happen—do happen,” said Zhiwu Chen, a finance professor at the University of Hong Kong who sat on the CSRC’s international advisory council from 2012 to 2019.

Stylized Facts of H.K. Primary Housing Market: 2016-2023 data analytics and reflection
Dr. Chi Pui HODr. Cynthia Xiyue CAO
房屋是當前香港最具爭議性的政策範疇之一。自2010年代初特區政府開徵額外印花稅、買家印花稅及雙倍從價印花稅後，二手樓市的成交量大幅下跌，一手樓市愈顯重要。

The Branding of “Bidenomics”
The Branding of “Bidenomics”
Dr. Y. F. LUK
美國6月份消費物價指數（CPI）按年升3%，遠低於預期，而除了和住房有關的價格外，其他物價指數都有明顯放緩跡象。租金因有租約限制而變動較慢，但估計增幅亦會逐漸向下。換句話說，困擾了美國經濟約兩年的通脹似乎已經受控。聯儲局大幅加息遏抑通脹，很多人預期會導致經濟下滑甚至衰退。然而，上周公布的美國第二季GDP仍有2.4%的年增長率，稍高於預期。再看看勞動力市場，6月份失業率為3.6%，過去一年多來都低於4%。這些宏觀數據均說明目前美國經濟表現良好，甚至被認為是數十年來最突出的年份之一。
