OVERVIEW After a stagnant economic environment in 2022, the economicenvironment continued to be challenging in 2023. Further to upwardinterest rate movement in 2022, major economies continued to raiseinterest rates in 2023 and kept the interest rate in high level for acertain period to tame inflation. The economic recovery of Mainland China after post-pandemicreopening was also challenging. Year 2023 was the first year ofeconomic recovery after the pandemic. The economy graduallyregained momentum, driven by economic reopening and supportivegovernment policies. Meanwhile, sluggish external demand andconcerns over the economic outlook of Mainland China continuedto weaken the economic growth. The economy of Mainland Chinaexpanded moderately in 2023. The Hong Kong economic environment in 2023 was under pressure.The change of local consumption pattern, coupled with weak financialmarket and property market, dampened the economy growth ofHong Kong.
