It launches an educational initiative to publish a series of leisure readings to promote public interest in various topics. As Hong Kong is pressing ahead with the development of innovative technology, it is foreseeable that important and controversial ethical, legal and social issues may arise. In this year’s Hong Kong Book Fair, the Centre published the first book in the series titled Bioethics Themed Series: Assisted Reproductive Technologies , exploring ethical issues such as anonymous gametes donation and surrogacy. 公積金計劃投資回報成績 Investment Returns of Staff Superannuation Scheme 基金 Fund 7.2019 1.8.2018 – 31.7.2019 未經審核數據 Unaudited 指標回報 Benchmark Return 未經審核數據 Unaudited 指標回報 Benchmark Return 增長 Growth 0.26% –0.28% 1.89% 2.24% 平衡 Balanced 0.48% –0.20% 2.31% 3.21% 穩定 Stable –0.20% –0.28% 2.72% 4.43% 香港股票 HK Equity –1.61% –1.83% –2.41% –0.94% 香港指數 HK Index-linked –2.27% –2.29% 0.45% 0.65% A50中國指數 A50 China Tracker 0.91% 1.16% 15.50% 17.92% 港元銀行存款 HKD Bank Deposit 0.39% 0.09% 2.10% 0.91% 美元銀行存款 USD Bank Deposit* 0.42% 0.30% 2.50% 0.92% 澳元銀行存款 AUD Bank Deposit* –1.48% –1.52% –5.48% –6.77% 歐元銀行存款 EUR Bank Deposit* –2.05% –2.04% –5.16% –5.07% 人民幣銀行存款 RMB Bank Deposit* 0.16% 0.06% 1.16% 0.32% 強積金數據請參閱： www.cuhk.edu.hk/fno/chi/public/payroll_benefits/mpf.html For MPF Scheme performance, please refer to: www.cuhk.edu.hk/fno/eng/public/payroll_benefits/mpf.html * * 實際與指標回報已包括有關期間內之匯率變動 Both actual and benchmark returns include foreign currency exchange difference for the month 2019至20年度大中華法律史研討會系列 Greater China Legal History Seminar Series 2019–20 日期 Date (12:30–2:00 pm) 題目 ／主講 Topics / Speakers 20.9.2019 Mutilating Corporal Punishments and Theories of Punishment in Traditional Chinese Legal Thought • Prof. Norman P.
