Why It Matters
Hong Kong has experienced continuous double-digit export growth over recent months, bolstered by technological demand.
Hong Kong’s exports jumped by 64.9 per cent year on year in September, the highest growth in more than 40 years, with artificial intelligence-related (AI) products further fuelling the momentum of recent months.
Provisional figures released by the Census and Statistics Department on Wednesday showed the total value of exports rose to HK$762.6 billion (US$97.8 billion) last month, after a 53 per cent surge in August.
A government spokesman said September marked the 12th consecutive month of double-digit growth and the fastest monthly year-on-year increase in more than four decades.
