ANZ raised its 2026 GDP growth forecast for Hong Kong to 5.1% from 3.8%, a 1.3 percentage point upgrade that would mark the territory's strongest expansion since 2010. The revision signals a more constructive view on Hong Kong's economic trajectory, though the bank did not detail the drivers behind the change in the headline note. If realized, growth near 5% would represent a sharp acceleration from the subdued pace of recent years and could support asset prices and corporate earnings in the region. Watch for follow-up research from ANZ and other banks revising their own Hong Kong forecasts, along with incoming trade, retail sales and mainland China data that would validate or undercut the upgrade.
