04 Oct 2016

 

The Hong Kong Institute of Economics and Business Strategy APEC Studies Program, the University of Hong Kong, will announce the "Hong Kong Macroeconomic Forecast" at around 4pm TOMORROW (October 5, Wednesday) to supply headline macroeconomic indicators for Hong Kong's economy in the fourth quarter of 2016. The latest figures and analysis will be provided in a press release.

Sponsored by the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the forecasting project is managed and prepared by the APEC Studies Program of the Hong Kong Institute of Economics and Business Strategy. It provides the community with reliable, transparent and useful forward-looking economic information to gauge the movements and effects of Hong Kong's activities on a quarterly basis. The forecasting system has proved to be very useful in tracking the short-term fluctuations of the economy, particularly in predicting turning points of the business cycles.
