AI boom will sustain Hong Kong’s export surge, lift GDP outlook, economists say

Economists predict Hong Kong's export surge will continue into the coming months due to the global AI boom, which is expected to push GDP growth higher than official forecasts. Associate Professor Billy Mak Sui-choi from Baptist University notes that global demand for AI remains unsaturated, with no single country dominating all aspects of the field. He highlights that while initial AI demand focused on Nvidia's GPUs, businesses now recognize the need for a broader ecosystem, including memory chips, photovoltaic modules, and motherboards, explaining Hong Kong's strong export performance. Hong Kong's exports increased by 53.4% year-on-year in June, reaching their highest level since March 1984, with provisional data showing exports hit a record HK$641.1 billion in July.

Bias read (Center): The article presents economic analysis without overt ideological slant, focusing on expert opinions and statistical data. While discussing the impact of AI on Hong Kong's economy, it does not take a partisan stance or favor one political group over another. The framing remains neutral, relying on专家和
