HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s economy grew 1.8% in the third quarter from a year earlier, official advance estimates showed on Thursday, expanding for a seventh straight quarter.
That was slower than the mean forecast of 3.1% year-on-year growth by economists in a Reuters poll, a revised 3.2% expansion in the second quarter and 2.8% expansion in the first quarter.
