Hong Kong's economy has recorded its fastest growth since 2021, primarily thanks to unexpectedly resilient export trade and strong investment amid global trade tensions. According to preliminary estimates released by the Census and Statistics Department on Friday, Hong Kong's GDP growth for the full year of 2025 is recorded at 3.5%, accelerating from 2.6% in 2024 and outperforming government revisions. The Asian financial center also experienced an extremely active year of trading. Share sales through IPOs, rights issues, and block trades nearly tripled, exceeding $73 billion, making Hong Kong the largest fundraising hub in Asia for the first time since 2013, second only to the United States globally. The Hong Kong stock market also saw a bull market in 2025, which has helped with the recovery of private consumption. Even property prices have risen by 3.25%, marking the first annual increase in four years and further signaling an improvement in sentiment.
