Hong Kong Import Growth Accelerates in April, Extending Upward Momentum

Hong Kong’s import activity strengthened in April 2026, with the growth rate rising to 44.4% month-over-month, up from 41.2% in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 28 May 2026, indicate a continued acceleration in inbound trade flows compared with the previous month.

The data show that April’s “Actual” reading reflects the change in imports relative to March, while the “Previous” reading captures the March change versus February. The month-on-month gain suggests that import demand has been building over consecutive months, pointing to robust underlying trading activity as the city moves further into the second quarter of 2026.
