Hong Kong GDP expands 4.3% year‑on‑year in 2026 Q2

Preliminary data released by Hong Kong's Census and Statistics Department show that the region's real gross domestic product grew 4.3% year‑on‑year in the second quarter of 2026, a slowdown from the 5.9% increase recorded in the first quarter. A government spokesperson said the growth was supported by vibrant external trade and resilient domestic demand, and expects the economy to continue expanding steadily in the second half of 2026.

The figures are part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s regular economic monitoring and reflect a continued recovery trajectory after earlier pandemic‑related disruptions.
