Figures also showed exports grew 8.1 per cent in July, resulting in a 11.1 per cent rise in the quarter thanks to the sustained expansion of the global economy and China’s strong trade flows.
Government economist KC Kwok said the global economy has been resilient so far in absorbing the impacts from the soaring oil prices and US interest rate up-cycle.
“The recent surge in oil prices to successive new highs is a key source of downside that could impinge on the global economic growth momentum in the period ahead,” Kwok said in a statement.
The government reiterated that the impact of the two per cent revaluation of China’s currency on Hong Kong’s re-export trade, mostly goods trans-shipped from China, is likely to be small, being cushioned to a large extent by the concurrent appreciation of the Asian currencies, he said.
Looking forward, “the trade outlook for the rest of the year is for a further solid growth in exports of both goods and services. Yet, the growth pace is likely to moderate somewhat as the impact of soaring oil prices increasingly sets in,” he cautioned.
