FX.co ★ Hong Kong Export Growth Cools in February After January Surge

Hong Kong’s export momentum eased in February 2026, with growth decelerating on a month-over-month basis following a sharp jump at the start of the year. According to the latest data updated on 26 March 2026, exports rose 24.7% in February compared with the previous month, down from a 33.8% increase recorded in January 2026.

The figures highlight a normalization in export activity after January’s outsized gain. The comparison is based on month-over-month changes, with the “previous” reading showing how exports in January compared to December, and the “actual” reading reflecting the change in February versus January. While the pace has slowed, February’s double-digit increase still points to resilient external demand for Hong Kong’s goods and re-exports at the start of 2026.
