HKGCC's King Chau expects economic growth to meet government forecast

HK General Chamber of Commerce Chairman King Chau said Hong Kong's full-year economic growth is expected to reach the government's forecast growth range of 3.5% to 4.5%. He said exports were performing strongly and consumption was gradually improving, but economic growth was not benefiting all sectors evenly. He said Hong Kong was an open economy, and its economic performance also depended on external factors such as interest rate trends and international trade.
