This incentive, introduced in 2023, is set to expire in October. The program has already benefited over 65,000 babies, with more than HK$1.3 billion distributed. Lee emphasized that this policy, alongside tax allowances and childcare services, represents a proactive approach to encouraging childbirth. AI
