Verified questions that cite this figure

  • Why is Hong Kong so wealthy?

    Output is concentrated in services (93.6% of GDP), earning income through trade, finance, logistics and professional services. 2025 GDP was HK$3,329.8 billion, or HK$444,044 per person, with merchandise trade ranking fifth among world economies.

  • How many boundary crossings does Hong Kong have?

    Hong Kong maintains several control points with the mainland and Macao — road, sea and rail/high-speed rail — with different opening hours, some operating around the clock. The authoritative list and names come from the Immigration Department.

  • Why doesn’t the site offer real-time bus/MTR arrivals or a fare calculator?

    The site is a static hard-data repository providing official statistics with clear years and sources; it does not run real-time life tools. Live arrivals, point-to-point routing and fare calculators need real-time data feeds and are outside its scope.
