Fourth round of measures to help different sectors most affected by violent protests

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced on Tuesday it will soon unveil a new round of relief measures, one day after the city recorded its biggest plunge in retail sales.

It will be the fourth round of such measures amid social unrest gripping the city for half a year. In addition, the Hong Kong government is on track for its first fiscal deficit in 15 years.
