The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released the results of the Quarterly Business Tendency Survey for the third quarter (3Q) of 2017. For all surveyed sectors taken together, the proportion of respondents expecting their business situation to be better (16%) in 3Q17 over 2Q17 is higher than that expecting it to be worse (10%). When compared with the results of the 2Q17 survey round, the proportion of respondents expecting a worse business situation in 3Q17 as compared with the preceding quarter has slightly decreased to 10%, against the corresponding proportion of 11% in 2Q17.

Analysed by sector, more respondents in the financing and insurance; manufacturing; and information and communications sectors expect their business situation to be better in 3Q17 as compared with 2Q17, relative to those expecting a worse business situation. In the construction sector, however, more respondents expect their business situation to be worse, as compared to those expecting a better business situation.

A government spokesman cautioned that the results of the survey should be interpreted with care. He said in this type of survey on expectations, the views collected in the survey are affected by the events in the community occurring around the time of enumeration, and it is difficult to establish precisely the extent to which respondents' perception of the future accords with the underlying trends.

Respondents in quite a number of surveyed sectors expect their volume of business/output to increase on balance in 3Q17 as compared with 2Q17. In particular, more respondents in the manufacturing; information and communications; financing and insurance; transportation, storage and courier services; and accommodation and food services sectors expect their volume of business/output to increase, as compared to those expecting it to decrease. On the other hand, more respondents in the construction sector expect their volume of output to decrease, as compared to those expecting it to increase.

Respondents in most of the surveyed sectors expect their employment to increase or to remain broadly unchanged on balance in 3Q17 as compared with 2Q17. In particular, more respondents in the manufacturing; accommodation and food services; financing and insurance; and real estate sectors expect their employment to increase in 3Q17 over 2Q17.

Respondents in most of the surveyed sectors expect their selling prices/service charges to remain broadly unchanged in 3Q17 as compared with 2Q17. In the accommodation and food services sector and retail sector, however, more respondents expect their selling price/service charge to go up.
