Steady uptick in HK jewellery exports, retail sales

Hong Kong saw single-digit growth in jewellery exports and retail sales in the first two months of 2024, owing to continued recovery in business and consumer sentiment in major markets.

Data from the city’s Census and Statistics Department showed that shipments of jewellery, goldsmiths’ and silversmiths’ wares rose 6 per cent year on year to HK$34.8 billion (around US$4.4 billion) in January to February.
