Hong Kong’s import growth rate decelerated in July 2026, with the month-on-month indicator easing to 41.0%, down from 45.4% in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 25 August 2026, points to a moderation in the pace of import expansion compared with the previous month.

The figures show that while imports continued to rise strongly in July, the rate of increase slowed compared with June, when the month-on-month growth reached 45.4%. The current reading of 41.0% reflects a still-elevated but slightly cooler momentum, as July’s performance is measured against June, and June’s was measured against May. This shift suggests a gradual tempering in import dynamics after a particularly rapid expansion earlier in the summer.
