Hong Kong 2026 GDP growth

Overview

Preliminary data released at the end of July showed Hong Kong’s real GDP expanding 4.3% year‑on‑year in Q2 2026, a slowdown from the 5.9% rise recorded in Q1. The government attributed the growth to strong external trade and resilient domestic demand and expected steady expansion in the second half of the year.

Swiss bank UBS upgraded its forecast for Hong Kong’s 2026 GDP growth to 4.5%, up from an earlier 3.3% estimate, citing continued strength in high‑value‑added exports, robust financial‑market activity, steady private consumption and a rebound in tourism, as well as the territory’s five‑year development plan. Official statistics indicated that GDP grew 5.1% year‑on‑year in the first half of 2026, surpassing market expectations.

On 5 August, UBS reaffirmed its 4.5% growth projection, emphasizing the same drivers and noting that the outlook is likely to bolster investor sentiment throughout the region.
