The Hong Kong government announced its provisional financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Expenditure and revenue amounted to $790.3 billion and $697.5 billion respectively, resulting in a surplus of $11.2 billion after taking into account $156 billion received from issuance of Government Bonds and repayment of $52 billion principal on Government Bonds.
  
Expenditure and revenue for the year were 3.9% ($32 billion) lower and 5.8% ($38.1 billion) higher than the original estimate respectively.
  
The consolidated surplus for the year was $11.2 billion, i.e. $8.3 billion higher than the revised estimate of $2.9 billion, mainly attributable to the higher-than-expected revenue from profits tax ($3.6 billion), stamp duties ($3.1 billion) and land premium ($1.1 billion).

The fiscal reserves stood at $665.5 billion as at 31 March.
