After slipping back to contraction territory in 2Q23, experts believe Hong Kong’s full-year gross domestic product (GDP) will be weaker than expected.
UOB forecast that the city’s economy will grow 4.2% in 2023 which is at the lower end of the revised official forecast of 4.0% to 5.0%
For 3Q23 and 4Q23, UOB expects a 5.6% YoY and 6.9% YoY growth, respectively.
