Hong Kong’s 2026 GDP Growth May Be Strongest in Five Years, Financial Secretary Says

The signal here is that Hong Kong's growth is being carried by exports and investment rather than domestic demand, which matters for a city whose pitch to crypto and RWA firms rests on its economic stability. An upward revision would give officials more room to frame the jurisdiction as a resilient base for digital-asset activity, though the drivers cited are traditional trade and capital flows, not the sector itself. Whether the export-led momentum holds into next year, and how advisers' revised forecast characterizes its durability, is the open question.
