Hong Kong’s GDP contracted 1.4% y/y in the second quarter, following a revised 3.9% decline in the first three months of the year, putting the SAR in a technical recession. The number was worse than economists’ median forecast for a 0.2% decline. Between the first and second quarters, the economy improved by 0.9%.

Private consumption remained virtually flat.
