Taking questions: Financial Secretary John Tsang elaborates on his budget measures at a press conference and in a televised forum.

Financial Secretary John Tsang says he considered all factors and assessed the situation carefully before proposing initiatives to ensure the stability of the property market in his 2010-11 Budget.

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, he said the Government will not introduce hasty and careless measures because the subject is a far-reaching issue which will affect both people who worry they cannot afford to buy flats and households which have already purchased homes.
