Hong Kong needs a win: Officials have said they think GDP shrank 3.2 per cent last year as the city was slow to emerge from its pandemic isolation and as global headwinds including high interest rates and waning demand took a toll. Singapore – which has been trying to gain an edge over its Chinese competitor for top talent and business – was much quicker to shed its Covid controls and its economy expanded 3.8 per cent in 2022.
Three respondents said they thought officials will issue more consumption vouchers worth HKD$5,000 per person to spur spending, while seven said either personal or corporate tax cuts could be on the table. Respondents were allowed to select more than one option. The city’s property market – the world’s least affordable – is also under strain as interest rates rise and housing demand slides. Economists polled in the most recent Bloomberg survey said they expected the city’s prime rates to increase this year.
