Hong Kong exports rise 11.9%, as shipments to mainland China, Asia markets jump

Growth tapers off from a 15.5 per cent year-on-year increase in May, as exports to the United States and European Union decline

Hong Kong’s exports jumped by 11.9 per cent in June from a year ago, with the government attributing the sustained performance to the continued expansion of sales to mainland China and other Asian markets while trade with the West fell.

Growth tapered off from a 15.5 per cent year-on-year increase in May, as exports to the United States and European Union declined in June amid the ongoing US-China trade war.

The value of total exports reached HK$$417.8 billion (US$53.5 billion) in June, the Census and Statistics Department said on Monday.
