In Hong Kong, the Policy Address (Chinese: 施政報告) is the constitutionally mandated annual address to the legislature delivered by the Chief Executive. The practice of giving annual Policy Addresses is mandated under Article 64 of the Basic Law, which requires the government to "present regular Policy Addresses to the [Legislative] Council". Many people see the Policy Address as a useful way to predict how the Chief Executive will operate.
