Hong Kong financing business receipts were up 25.8 percent in the third quarter this year, according to Hong Kong's Census and Statistics Department Tuesday.
It said almost all surveyed service industries recorded a year-on-year surge in their business receipts in the third quarter,with the financing (except banking) and business services industries rising 25.8 percent and 22.9 percent.
The rise in business receipts of the financing industry was mainly fueled by the buoyant local stock market, while that of the business services industry was mainly attributable to the growth in information technology related services.
Other service industries that saw more notable increases in business receipts included hotels, insurance, banking, and import and export trade. Editor: Yan
