These will be in the Northern Economic Belt.

Driven by strengthening demand from Asian countries, the value of exports and imports increased by 8.1% y-o-y and 7.6% y-o-y, respectively, in November, according to JLL.

Air-freight cargo grew 7.1% y-o-y in November, while container throughput rose 10.1% y-o-y over the same period. Improvements in external trade saw 3PLs turning more active. A local logistics operator expanded into 64,000 sq ft at Yip’s Chemical Building in Fanling, paying HKD 9 per sq ft per month.
