HK economy maintains strength in 2025

Talks on the 2026 budget are also underway.

Hong Kong’s 2025 economy remained resilient amidst considerable external challenges, Paul Chan, Financial Secretary, said in a press release.

He also highlighted that the government’s efforts to reinforce the region’s position as an international financial centre and to boost innovation and technology (I&T) are yielding results.

Chan also noted that the 2026 Budget will prioritise boosting economic growth, accelerating the development and application of I&T, advancing industrial upgrading, and generating more high-quality jobs while ensuring that the gains from economic progress and diversification are broadly shared across the community.

“In preparing the new Budget, we aim to gather views from different sectors, engage with the public, and draw on collective wisdom. We welcome all members of the community to actively share their views, so that we can work together to build a better and more vibrant Hong Kong," he said.
