Hong Kong’s gross national income (GNI) grew by 6.8% to $756.1b in the first quarter of the year, the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) reported. 

The city’s gross domestic product (GDP), meanwhile, grew by 4.6% to $716.6b over the same quarter. 

“The value of GNI was larger than GDP by $39.4b in the first quarter of 2023, which was equivalent to 5.5% of GDP in that quarter, mainly attributable to a net inflow of investment income,” the report noted.
