Hong Kong GDP growth on track for 5-year high; Chan flags possible forecast upgrade

Hong Kong's economy grew 5.1% in H1 2026, driven by exports and investment, and the finance chief signals the full-year forecast may be revised up from the current 3.5-4.5% range. This would mark the strongest annual growth in five years, though Q3 data is pending. The upgrade would reflect sustained momentum in trade and capital spending, supporting regional growth sentiment.
