(Jan 30): Hong Kong’s economy staged a powerful comeback last year, growing at its fastest pace since 2021 as resilient trade and a resurgence in investment defied global headwinds. “Looking ahead, the Hong Kong economy is expected to maintain good momentum in 2026,” the spokesperson said in a statement, citing strong global demand for AI-enabled products and improved domestic sentiment. Hong Kong’s role as a transshipment hub has benefited directly from mainland China’s trade resilience. Hong Kong’s economic rebound came after the Asian financial hub logged a blockbuster year of deal making. Hong Kong’s stock market also saw a bull run in 2025, which helped with a recovery in private consumption.
