Hong Kong raised its full-year growth forecast for 2025, signaling increased confidence in the economy’s momentum after exports and domestic consumption showed unexpected strength.
The government on Friday revised its estimates for GDP expansion to 3.2% for the year, up from the previous forecast of 2% to 3%. The announcement came as it confirmed earlier figures showing the economy grew in the third quarter at the strongest pace since 2023.
