Economic scenario of Hong Kong

The economy of Hong Kong is a highly developed free-market economy. It is characterised by low taxation, almost free port trade and a well-established international financial market. Hong Kong’s economy dived into recession in the first half of 2022 as the wave of COVID-19 pandemic infections saw exports shrink further, a stalled recovery in private consumption and a continued drop in fixed investments. Significant moves, such as easing of anti-COVID restrictions is likely to revitalize Hong Kong's economy and will provide a significant boost to economic outlook. The normalization of international visitor flow is expected to lift the business confidence, attract domestic and global investment, and strengthen Hong Kong's status as a world trading and financial center.
