Hong Kong GDP Growth Slows in Q4
The economy of Hong Kong expanded 0.2 percent on quarter in the last three months of 2020, slowing sharply from a downwardly revised 2.7 percent growth in the previous period, flash estimates showed. "The Hong Kong economy recovered further in the fourth quarter of 2020, albeit at a slow pace due to the fourth wave of the local epidemic. The strengthening of exports of goods and active financial market activity continued to render support", a Government spokesman said. Considering full 2020, the economy shrank 3 percent.

Hong Kong GDP Grows Slightly Less than Anticipated
The economy of Hong Kong expanded 2.8 percent quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter of 2020, slightly less than initial estimates of a 3 percent rise. Still, it is the first quarter of expansion in since early 2019, and the strongest growth rate in 11 years as the economy attempts to rebound from the coronavirus crisis. The near-term outlook will hinge critically on the local COVID-19 situation. Provided that the local epidemic remains well contained, domestic economic activities will likely see further modest improvement in Q4. Latest government forecasts point to a 6.1 percent drop in GDP for 2020.

Hong Kong Quarterly GDP Growth Strongest in 11 Years
The economy of Hong Kong grew 3 on quarter in the three months to September, preliminary estimates showed. It is the first quarter of expansion in since early 2019, and the strongest growth rate in 11 years as the economy attempts to rebound from the coronavirus crisis. Looking ahead, a "continued recovery of the Chinese economy should render support to Hong Kong's exports in the coming few months. Also, global demand and trade flows will further improve if the recovery of the major advanced economies sustains. COVID-19 will remain a major downside risk to the global and local economy until effective vaccines are widely available. The tourism industry is unlikely to see a swift rebound with widespread travel restrictions in place. The evolving China-US relations, heightened geopolitical tensions, and the possibility of a disorderly Brexit also add to uncertainties", a Government spokesman said.
