Deputy Financial Secretary is a ministerial position in the Government of Hong Kong, deputising the Financial Secretary. The position was created in 2022 after John Lee took office as Chief Executive.
Deputy Financial Secretary was created by 1945 during the British colonial rule. The position was renamed to Secretary for the Treasury in 1989.[1]
In 2022, John Lee, after being selected as the new Chief Executive, decided to install the position of Deputy Financial Secretary. The position was officially revived on 1 July 2022 after his cabinet took office.[2]
