欧锡熊指若控制好本地疫情及外围环境无特殊变化 全年经济增长大机会达5.5%
本港首季经济按年实质增长7.9%,较早前预计高0.1%,结束连续六季收缩。政府经济顾问欧锡熊表示,只要控制好本地疫情,外围环境没有特殊变化,今年香港经济增长很大机会达到预测区间上限的5.5%。
欧锡熊在记者上指,环球经济复苏主要由中国和美国带动,目前势头不错,短期有利本港货物出口表现,连带服务输出亦有所改善。不过环球疫情仍然严峻,旅游业复苏将相当缓慢。另外,考虑到变种病毒出现,环球经济前景不确定性仍然显着,而且目前本港经济复苏不平衡,因此全年经济增长预测维持3.5%至5.5%。至於其他变数就包括中美关系和地缘政治等因素。
他指,本地疫情受控,加上政府推出多项支援措施,并即将推出消费券,预计本地营商和消费信心持续改善。
