Exports in Hong Kong

Hong Kong - Exports
The economy likely shrank sharply in Q1 2022, as Covid-19 cases surged to record highs and led to tighter restrictions on social gatherings and the services sector. In the quarter, the private-sector PMI averaged deep in contractionary territory and the unemployment rate rose notably, while retail sales plummeted in February. Turning to Q2, prospects are somewhat better, as in April most sports and entertainment facilities reopened. Moreover, the new consumption voucher scheme should be supporting private spending. However, frequent flight bans are disrupting the travel industry, and worsening momentum in mainland China will be hitting the external sector. In politics, veteran police officer John Lee is likely to become Chief Executive in the May elections, highlighting Beijing’s focus on security over economic considerations.Hong Kong - Exports Data
