The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released the external merchandise trade statistics for September 2025. In September 2025, the values of Hong Kong's total exports and imports of goods both recorded year-on-year increases, at 16.1% and 13.6% respectively, while the market had estimated year-on-year rises of 15.4% and 13.5% respectively. In September 2025, the value of total exports of goods increased by 16.1% over a year earlier to $462.3 billion, after a year-on-year increase by 14.5% in August 2025. Concurrently, the value of imports of goods increased by 13.6% over a year earlier to $512.5 billion in September 2025, after a year-on-year increase by 11.5% in August 2025. A visible trade deficit of $50.2 billion, equivalent to 9.8% of the value of imports of goods, was recorded in September 2025. A Government spokesman said that the value of merchandise exports continued to grow visibly by 16.1% in September over a year earlier. Exports to the Mainland and most other Asian markets saw robust growth, and exports to the United States and the European Union also grew moderately. Meanwhile, exports of most major commodities increased, particularly for exports of electrical equipment, machinery and mechanical appliances which continued to see strong growth. Looking ahead, Hong Kong's merchandise trade performance should continue to be underpinned by the sustained expansion in the global economy. The Government's ongoing endeavour in enhancing economic and trade ties with different markets also helps. Yet, the United States' trade policy will continue to cast uncertainties on the near-term outlook of international trade flows. The Government will monitor the situation closely and stay vigilant.
