Financial Secretary Paul Chan says that over the past year, both prices and transaction volumes in stock and property markets have risen in tandem.
He estimates Hong Kong's economic growth will accelerate from 2.5 percent in 2024 to 3.2 percent this year, with future development focused on finance, innotech and trade.
Paul Chan says the city's economy this year has made steady progress with the joint effort of Beijing, the SAR government and various sectors, enabling them to overcome external uncertainties.
He adds that asset markets have continued to improve, capital inflows have remained strong, visitor arrivals have risen and both exports and fixed capital investment have performed well.
The economic growth will likely pick up to 3.2 percent this year, buoyed mainly by export.
Hong Kong is ranked first globally in initial public offering fundraising, with proceeds exceeding 270 billion dollars as of mid-December and average daily turnover of the stock market reached nearly 260 billion dollars in the first 11 months of this year.
Chan says the government will actively expand commodities trading and speed up cultivation of AI as a core industry while staying highly vigilant against potential "black swan" and "grey rhino" risks.
