"The Four Key Industries in the Hong Kong Economy"
The Government has been actively pursuing economic development in order to keep up the competitive advantage of Hong Kong. The traditional four key industries in Hong Kong, namely financial services, tourism, trading and logistics, and professional and producer services, have been the driving force of Hong Kong's economic growth, providing impetus to growth of other sectors and creating employment.
This feature article analyses the economic contribution and employment situation in respect of the Four Key Industries in 2021. Taken together, the share of the total value added of the four key industries in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 56.4%, while the percentage share of total employment was 40.1%.
