中新社香港4月5日电 记者戴小橦报道，标普全球(S&P Global)5日发布最新数据显示，香港3月标普全球采购经理人指数(S&P Global Hong Kong SAR PMI)跃升至50.9，较2月的49.7有显著提升，标志着今年来首次重返扩张区间。这一积极变化显示香港经济可能正在逐步走出困境，市场活力显现。
专家分析指出，PMI指数重回50点以上的扩张区间，是香港经济回暖的重要指标。这一数据的提升，反映了本地企业订单增加，生产和经营活动的恢复，同时，也预示着未来几个月经济有望继续保持稳定增长的态势。尽管全球经济增长放缓和地缘政治不确定性仍存在，但香港作为国际金融中心的韧性和多元化经济结构为其复苏提供了坚实基础。
此外，报告还显示，3月香港企业的产出和新订单都有所增长，出口需求也有所改善，显示出外部市场对香港产品和服务的需求回暖。企业信心也因此得到提振，对未来12个月的业务活动预期乐观。
然而，专家也提醒，尽管经济指标向好，但企业仍需面对成本压力上升、供应链挑战和劳动力短缺等问题。因此，政府和企业需共同努力，通过创新和提升效率，以应对这些挑战，确保经济的稳健复苏。
香港财政司司长陈茂波对此表示，政府将持续关注经济动态，采取必要措施支持企业，以巩固和拓展香港的经济复苏势头。他强调，香港将继续发挥其独特优势，作为连接中国内地与全球市场的桥梁，为经济注入新的活力。

HONG KONG, April 5 (Xinhua) – By Dai Xiaocang, Hong Kong correspondent – The S&P Global Hong Kong SAR Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) climbed to 50.9 in March, a significant increase from February’s 49.7, according to data released by S&P Global on April 5. This marks the first return to expansion territory this year, indicating a potential economic turnaround for the city. The positive shift suggests that Hong Kong’s economy may be gradually emerging from its challenges, with a resurgence of market vitality.
Analysts pointed out that the PMI’s return to the expansionary zone above 50 is a crucial sign of Hong Kong’s economic回暖. The rise indicates increased local business orders, resumption of production and operations, and forecasts a sustained growth trajectory for the coming months. Despite the slowdown in global economic growth and geopolitical uncertainties, Hong Kong’s resilience as an international financial hub and its diversified economic structure underpin its recovery prospects.
Moreover, the report showed that output and new orders for Hong Kong businesses increased in March, with improved export demand, reflecting a rebound in external markets’ appetite for Hong Kong’s products and services. This has bolstered business confidence, with乐观 expectations for the next 12 months’ business activities.
However, experts caution that despite the positive indicators, enterprises still face challenges such as rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages. Therefore, concerted efforts from the government and businesses are needed to address these issues through innovation and efficiency improvements, ensuring a robust economic recovery.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan emphasized that the government will continue to monitor economic developments closely and implement necessary measures to support businesses, reinforcing and broadening Hong Kong’s recovery momentum. He stressed that Hong Kong will leverage its unique advantages to serve as a bridge connecting Mainland China with global markets, injecting new vitality into the economy.
