The Education University of Hong Kong | Annual Report 2024-2025

香港教育大學 2024-2025 年報 95 Treasurer’s Report 司庫報告 Financial Position The University’s total net assets remained stable at HK$2.04 billion at the end of 2024/25, as a result of the small surplus represented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Given the market expectations of interest rate cuts, some bank deposits were reallocated to multi-year fixed income investments, with an intent to hold to maturity to secure higher investment returns for a longer time horizon and to enhance overall investment returns. Therefore, the bank deposits with original maturity of over three months decreased by HK$61 million to HK$1.25 billion, and cash and cash equivalents increased by HK$147 million to HK$1.06 billion as at year end. The University will continue to explore different investment opportunities to enhance the overall investment return. The total balance of the GDRF had decreased to HK$426 million by the end of the financial year. Outlook The University’s financial position remained healthy, with total accumulated funds of HK$2.04 billion by the end of the year. After the one-off refund of HK$272 million to the government, the University will adopt a prudent financial strategy focused on resource optimisation and income diversification, as well as on fund risk management. The University will explore new and expand existing revenue streams through enlarged operations in self-financed taught postgraduate master programmes, executive education, knowledge sharing and commercialisation, and philanthropic partnerships, ensuring long-term financial sustainability while maintaining academic excellence. Looking ahead, the University is charting a bold course toward becoming a globally recognised leader in education innovation, development of talents with diverse skills, interdisciplinary research, and community engagement. Anchored in its mission to nurture future-ready talent, the University will continue to evolve its academic offerings, research capabilities, and societal contributions in response to emerging global challenges and opportunities.
