Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor

Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor served as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong from 2017 to 2022. While not directly mentioned in the provided articles, her tenure provides crucial context for understanding the current political and economic landscape of Hong Kong. The articles discuss the performance of Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po and the current administration under John Lee. The article about Exco meetings compares John Lee's administration to the 'previous two governments', one of which was led by Carrie Lam. Therefore, her leadership is indirectly relevant as a point of comparison for evaluating the effectiveness and operational style of the current Hong Kong government. Her policies and decisions during her time as Chief Executive continue to shape the challenges and opportunities facing Hong Kong today, including the structural fiscal deficit and the focus on 'outcomes' over procedural metrics.
