Hong Kong SAR, China: Gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Hong Kong SAR, China's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (current US$) rose 7.1% on 2023 (from US$372.23 billion to US$398.8 billion).

Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +3.7% and a typical year strayed about 4.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 9.6% in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.6% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$8.67 billion a year. A straight line explains 84% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about US$414.92 billion for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$13.08 billion, against US$22.83 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
