After the anti-extradition movement and the implementation of the compulsory oath of allegiance for civil servants, the wave of civil servants leaving the organization in Hong Kong intensified.

In its latest reply to Legco members’ questions on the “Budget 2023-24,” the Civil Service Bureau revealed that the number of resignations in 2021-22 has reached a new high since the handover of sovereignty in 1997, with 3,734 civil servants resigning, doubling the 1,863 in 2020-21, and is nearly three times more than the 1,333 recorded in 2017-18.
