An Introduction to the General Statistical Digests Compiled by the Census and Statistics Department
The Hong Kong Economic Trends, i.e. this publication, is one of the
general statistical digests compiled by the Census and Statistics
Department. Other digests include Hong Kong Monthly Digest of
Statistics and Hong Kong Annual Digest of Statistics. Each digest
brings together statistical data covering various social and economic
aspects of Hong Kong. Statistical data contained cover a very
wide range of topics relating to society, the economy and
businesses. The digests are each featured in its own way. They
are published at different frequencies with statistical data series
presented in various lengths, depths and formats. Complementing
each other, together they form a comprehensive series for reference.

The Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics is a compact volume of

official statistics containing about 140 tables in 13 sections. It
collects up-to-date statistical series on various aspects of the social
and economic situation of Hong Kong. Statistics are presented
wherever possible in the form of monthly or quarterly figures for
the latest 15 months for which data are available, together with
annual figures for the latest three complete years. For selected key
statistical items, over 20 charts depicting the annual trend in the past
decade and quarterly or monthly trend in the recent two years are
also available. Since collation of data for the Monthly Digest
takes time, the Census and Statistics Department compiles the Hong
Kong Economic Trends on a half-monthly basis. This publication
presents up-to-date monthly and quarterly data of major economic
indicators which help readers grasp the pulse of Hong Kongs
economy before more detailed statistics become available.
In case users require more detailed social and economic data or

more back-dated annual data, they should refer to the Hong Kong
Annual Digest of Statistics.
