Hong Kong's economic performance in 2025 showed optimistic growth momentum, while facing ongoing challenges. The real GDP growth for the first three quarters reached 3.3%, up from 2.6% in the same period of 2024.

Overall, PwC expected the government's operating account to record a surplus. Although there are higher public works expenditures and lower land sale revenues, the capital account is still expected to show a deficit.

However, the operating account surplus is expected to offset part of the impact. PwC predicted that the government will record only a $200 million consolidated deficit for 2025/26.
