HKTDC response to Hong Kong export figures for March
(firmenpresse) - HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - The Census and Statistics Department today released the latest external merchandise trade statistics. In March 2026, the total value of Hong Kong’s merchandise exports recorded a year-on-year increase of 35.8% to HK$618.4 billion. For the first quarter of 2026, the total value of exports of goods amounted to HK$1,546.2 billion, representing a robust growth of 32.0% compared with the same period last year.
Commenting on the outlook, Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said Hong Kong’s exports are expected to remain steady at least in the near term, despite elevated energy prices arising from ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He noted Hong Kong’s external trade has continued to exhibit clear growth momentum, underpinned primarily by sustained global demand for electronic items and other intermediate goods that are integral to regional and global supply chains.
In particular, resilient input demand from the Chinese Mainland and other ASEAN production sites, together with stable demand from major overseas markets, has provided a solid buffer against external headwinds. While geopolitical uncertainties persist and energy prices are likely to remain relatively high, continued industrial activity in major markets, as well as ongoing supply-chain realignments, are expected to lend ongoing support to Hong Kong’s trade flows.
“Overall, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for Hong Kong’s trade performance, while remaining mindful of potential volatility arising from geopolitical developments and cost pressures,” Pang added.
