Hong Kong's economy grew by 3.1 percent in the second quarter of this year -- year-on-year according to the advance estimates of the Census and Statistics Department.
The 3.1-percent Gross Domestic Product or GDP growth is slightly faster than the increase of 3 percent in the first quarter.
Total exports of goods rose 11.5 percent year-on-year, accelerated further from the growth of 8.4 percent in the first quarter.
Imports of goods grew by 12.7 percent. Exports of services rose further by 7.5 percent.
A government spokesman says exports of services continued to expand notably, thanks to strong growth in inbound tourism and financial and related business service activities amid the buoyant local stock market. On Hong Kong's retail scene, the value of total retail sales in June increased by 0.7 percent year-on-year, provisionally estimated at 30.1 billion dollars. But that's with a slightly slower growth rate than May. Online sales took up 8.5 percent of the total sales value.
For the first time since January, the value of sales of jewellery, watches and clocks and valuable gifts logged a surge -- jumping by 6.8 percent.
