The territory has also reinforced its position as a global financial center and super-connector between the Chinese mainland and the rest of the world. However, the recovery remains ongoing and economic activity is still below its pre-pandemic trend, while headwinds-including weak private investment and declining labor force participation, both of which remain below pre-pandemic levels-persist. Growth is expected to moderate in the near term mainly reflecting weaker external demand and tighter financial conditions stemming from the war in the Middle East.[1] Risks are tilted to the downside, including from a potential intensification of conflicts and escalating geopolitical tensions. Given the economic slack, an expansionary fiscal stance in 2026 is appropriate. Source: imf.org |
