Hong Kong Monetary Authority chief Yue Mon said Q1 GDP rose 5.9% YoY, the
fastest quarterly pace in nearly five years. He attributed growth to exports,
consumption and investment, with exports especially strong: about 70% of export
categories are AI and high-end electronics, and sustained global tech demand
should continue to support trade and related industries. Domestic demand is
recovering—housing has rebounded roughly 10% from the trough, boosting
consumption via a wealth effect—and corporate investment is gradually returning,
with overall investment now positive. Yue said the trend of global investors
diversifying away from single-market risk should continue, and Hong Kong’s
institutional, geographic and market advantages will keep attracting capital
inflows.
