春節過去，香港民意研究所（香港民研）重新審視未來發展路向後，最近作出以下決定，特此宣布：
1. 香港民研即日起無限期擱置所有自費研究活動，包括自1992年開始的定期追蹤調查，以至近期開展的專題研究。
2. 香港民研會專注籌備及執行現有的委託研究項目，包括現階段經已開始洽談的項目。
3. 香港民研將會轉型甚至結業，主席及行政總裁鍾庭耀歡迎有心人士洽購或接辦香港民研，而其本人就會繼續透過世界民意研究學會推動民意研究的專業發展，直至2026年底卸任學會的執行理事為止。
香港民研一直奉公守法，惟鑑於現時環境，研究所雖然希望繼續推動科學民研的發展，但覺舉步維艱，唯有停步。研究團隊衷心希望將來有機會延續有關工作，現正積極檢視所有可行方案，最終決定將會適時公布。
As the Spring Festival comes to an end, the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI) has again reviewed its development and made these decisions:
1. HKPORI will suspend all its self-funded research activities indefinitely, including its regular tracking surveys conducted since 1992, and all feature studies recently introduced.
2. HKPORI will focus its effort on the preparation and execution of existing commissioned studies, including those at negotiation stage.
3. HKPORI will undergo a transformation or even close down. President and CEO Robert Chung welcomes interested parties to take over the Institute, while he himself as a member of the Executive Council of the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) will continue to promote professional development around the world until his term ends after 2026.
HKPORI has always been law-abiding, but in the current environment, it has to pause its promotion of scientific polling. The research team hopes there will be another opportunity to resume its work. HKPORI is actively exploring all possible options, it will announce its final decision when the time is right.
