Silicon Valley investor Naval has highlighted a transformative shift in app development, where anyone can create applications without writing a single line of code. According to Bitalk News, this new wave of 'Vibe Coders' utilizes English as a programming language, inputting requirements into code robots that generate fully functional applications. This process moves individuals from the 'idea and taste space' directly into the 'product space,' redefining product management by eliminating the need to manage engineers and instead instructing computers directly. Naval compares this evolution to the democratization of video creation, suggesting that the ability to develop apps will become universally accessible. He anticipates a surge in application development, akin to a tsunami, in an era characterized by content saturation. Only the highest quality products will thrive, catering to niche demands, while medium-sized companies may face significant challenges.

Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, announced that the city's economy grew by 3.5% last year, marking a third consecutive year of growth. According to RTHK, the government forecasts economic growth of 2.5% to 3.5% for this year, with a basic inflation rate of 1.7% and an overall inflation rate of 1.8%. Looking ahead to 2027-2030, the economy is expected to grow by an average of 3% annually, with an average annual basic inflation rate of 2%. In his new budget announcement, Chan noted that by 2026, global trade tensions are expected to ease slightly, and economic activities in major economies will continue to expand. Mainland China's economy is anticipated to contribute significantly to global growth, with the country implementing proactive macroeconomic policies to boost domestic demand and promote high-quality development. This is expected to create favorable conditions for Hong Kong's economic growth. Chan highlighted that investments in new technologies such as AI will continue to drive demand for related products, supporting further expansion of trade activities in Asia. The market generally expects a reduction in U.S. interest rates, which could boost investment confidence. The International Monetary Fund predicts moderate global economic growth this year. Benefiting from these factors, Hong Kong's goods exports are expected to maintain substantial growth, while service exports will continue to rise due to increased visitor numbers and demand for financial services. Domestic demand is also expected to grow steadily. The labor market remains stable, and rising incomes are expected to drive private consumption. Improved business sentiment and anticipated interest rate cuts are favorable for asset markets and investment activities. However, Chan cautioned that the international environment remains complex, with fluctuating trade policies in major advanced economies continuing to create uncertainty in global trade. If the U.S. reduces interest rates more slowly than expected, the current optimism in global financial markets may be affected.
