Hong Kong's economy expanded by 3.1% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, marking the fastest growth pace since 2023. The quarterly GDP growth was 0.4%, in line with forecasts, and officials maintained the full-year economic growth forecast. Meanwhile, Malaysia's GDP grew by 4.4% year-on-year in Q2 2025, matching the growth rate of the previous quarter. Despite missing official estimates, Malaysia's central bank stated that the economy remains strong enough to withstand the impact of US tariffs and global trade headwinds. The country's economic resilience was supported by steady domestic demand offsetting export weaknesses. However, Malaysia's current account surplus narrowed sharply to 0.3 billion ringgit in Q2 from 16.7 billion ringgit in Q1. Foreign direct investment inflows also declined significantly to 1.6 billion ringgit from 15.6 billion ringgit, although portfolio investment reversed from an outflow of 48.3 billion ringgit in Q1 to a net inflow of 16.4 billion ringgit in Q2.
