Hong Kong economy strong, but business leaders uneasy

Hong Kong’s latest quarterly figures look better than many experts expected. The economy has shown steady growth, markets have remained active, and tourists are coming back. This has happened despite disruptions from the war in the Middle East and a shaky global situation. On the surface, these numbers point to a resilient economy. They come at a time of high global political tensions and increased risk. Yet, in private talks with many business leaders overseas, a quiet unease is growing. That worry has not yet appeared in the official data.
