Economic outlook

In the first of our biannual market intelligence reviews for Hong Kong, our report shows how its economy gained momentum in 2021, before new waves of COVID-19 dampened economic activity and market confidence towards the year’s end. The gross value of construction works was up 1.5 percent over 2021, driven by residential and transport projects.

Hong Kong Budget 2022
