China’s economy continued to expand in the third quarter,<br />

having recovered quickly from its first quarter contraction. The<br />

4.9% year-on-year (y-o-y) expansion added to its 3.2% (y-o-y)<br />

growth in Q2. China’s GDP is expected to expand further in Q4,<br />

with analysts forecasting a further 6% increase in GDP.<br />

Hong Kong’s economy has now seen five consecutive quarters<br />

of losses, with Q3 seeing a further decline of 3.5% (y-o-y).<br />

However, its third quarter performance was better than in Q1<br />

and Q2, when the economy contracted by 9% and 9.1% respectively.<br />

Taiwan, China<br />

Taiwan’s success with containing the Coronavirus is demonstrated<br />

by its economic performance during the first three<br />

quarters of 2020. Its economy did not contract, although in<br />

the second quarter it only expanded by a revised figure of<br />

0.35% (y-o-y). Taiwan’s economy is expected to grow further<br />

in the fourth quarter, with analysts forecasting a further 3.4%<br />

expansion.<br />
