Hong Kong exports rise 11.9%, with strong showing in mainland China, Asia markets

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.
A government spokesman said exports to the mainland and other Asian markets continued to 'expand visibly', while those to the US and EU fell.
'Looking ahead, the sustained steady growth in various Asian economies, in particular, the mainland economy, as well as Hong Kong's enhanced economic and trade ties with different markets, should continue to support merchandise trade performance,' the spokesman said.

'Nonetheless, the outlook of global trade policy is still uncertain. The government will continue to monitor the situation closely and stay vigilant.'

US ‘made trade deals' with Thailand, Cambodia, commerce secretary Lutnick says
Read more on this story: The United States has struck trade deals with Cambodia and Thailand, ahead of President Donald Trump's August 1, 2025, tariff deadline, according to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
