High volatility of interest rates was experienced in a low interest environment, thus more money was placed at bank deposits with longer terms as higher interest rates were offered. As a result, the bank deposits with original maturity of over three months increased by HK$543 million to HK$1.39 billion, whereas cash and cash equivalents dropped to HK$394 million as at the end of the year. The total balance of the General and Development Reserve Fund ("GDRF") reached HK$587 million at the end of the year. Outlook The financial position of the University is healthy and the total accumulated funds of HK$1.59 billion at the end of the year was the highest amongst years. The strong financial foundation provides good support for the development of the University in different fronts even under the current unstable economy. Ahead of us are many challenges caused by the prolonged pandemic. Restrictions imposed on travelling and gathering have much impact on the University's activities, such as face-to-face teaching, student exchange programmes and overseas research activities. While the University has put much effort and resources into implementing necessary precautionary measures to maintain a safe campus, money was also spent on improving the information technology and cyber security to sustain on-line teaching activities. The world will not be the same after the pandemic and the University is no exception: it will face many changes in its operations, with the main one being integration of e-learning elements into teaching activities. With its strong financial position, the University is ready to adopt new technologies in developing more appropriate means for teaching and learning.
