Hong Kong Rises to Fifth-Largest Global Trading Entity in 2025, According to WTO Report
The World Trade Organization’s latest Global Trade Outlook and Statistics report indicates that Hong Kong rose to become the world’s fifth-largest trading entity in 2025, climbing two places from the preceding year. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) noted that the WTO report fully demonstrated Hong Kong’s continued resilience in merchandise trade, with total trade value growing robustly last year to further reinforce its position as an international trading hub.
Hong Kong’s achievement is attributed to the institutional advantages under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle and its free and open business environment. This year marks the beginning of the national 15th Five-Year Plan, which supports Hong Kong in better integrating into national development. The Plan aims to consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international financial, shipping, and trade centre, while developing it into an international innovation and technology centre and an international hub for high-calibre talent.
The “Four Centres and One Hub” positioning meets the country’s needs and builds on Hong Kong’s distinct strengths. With a global network of 51 offices, the HKTDC will continue to leverage Hong Kong’s unique advantage as a gateway linking the Chinese Mainland with the rest of the world, promoting Hong Kong as a two-way global investment and business hub. International exhibitions, conferences, and business missions will also be organised to create business opportunities for companies in the Chinese Mainland and international markets.
For more information, the HKTDC provides resources through its Media Room and additional details can be found on its website at www.hktdc.com/aboutus. The original release is available on www.newmediawire.com.
