The Government released today (August 15) the Half-yearly Economic Report 2014, together with the preliminary figures on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter of 2014.

This, together with an improving Mainland economy, should entail a somewhat brighter export outlook for Hong Kong in the period ahead, though the scope of rebound might continue ...
