HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today released the Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) for the third quarter of 2024. The “expectations” index rose for a second straight quarter to 55.2 from 54.8 in Q2, reflecting sentiment continued to improve modestly among firms. The “current performance” index for business activity fell to 50.6 from 54.1 in Q2, indicating a further weakening of economic momentum after a challenging first half of 2024.Hong Kong leads bullsAt city level, Hong Kong and Dongguan registered improvements in both current performance and expectations sub-indices. Hong Kong posted the highest “expectations” index, rising to 58.8 from 49.7 in Q2, the steepest rise among the 11 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cities, while “current performance” slightly increased by 0.2 points to 47.3. The “expectations” index of the other five cities in the survey were all above the 50 neutral mark.In line with the soft set of China macro data in July and August, the sub-indices for industry categories trended down in general, with the manufacturing sector suffering the most. In terms of “expectations”, while GBA manufacturers’ confidence may have been affected by a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products in the event of a Trump win in the November US presidential election, the score remained stable at 54.1, well above the neutral mark.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, said: “The survey findings are in line with the economic data released in August, pointing to a slower industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment growth on subdued domestic demand and adverse weather. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the optimism associated with China’s stronger-than-expected stimulus package introduced in late-September, together with the new phase of Fed’s rate cut cycle, has yet to reflect in the third quarter survey findings. We believe the business sentiment among GBA companies can be boosted in the near term, driven by the positive sentiment and jump in equity market turnover following the announcement of the stimulus measures.”60% GBA companies express concerns over risk factors – rates, economic growth and trade barriers topped the listWhile the rate-cutting cycle can serve as a tailwind to business, the market outlook remains challenging. 60% of respondents saw external and internal risks posing a substantial risk to their overall business in the next 12 months. “Higher global inflation and interest rates” (47%), “renewed China growth slowdown” (46%) and “trade tariffs, sanctions against China-origin products” (42%) were the top three concerns. The Fed’s recent jumbo rate cut in September, signalling potential relief to GBA companies, likely offset lingering trade and geopolitical risks in the run-up to the US presidential election.During the survey period, the discussion on tariff hikes against products of Chinese origin arose again. In terms of trade barriers, 47.2% of respondents said they were negatively impacted by tariff hikes versus 44.2% by sanctions and 34.6% by non-tariff barriers.In the event of further rise in trade disputes between China and the US/EU, of the 37% survey respondents involved in external trade and anticipating a change to their external trade in the next few months, 88% said they would front-load their second-half export orders, while 81% said they would front-load their imports to minimise the potential impacts to their businesses. Irina Fan, HKTDC Director of Research, said: “GBA manufacturers may have concerns about a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products after the November US election. However, some 50-60% of the respondents do not anticipate any potential negative impacts on their business.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTgyMTM1MTk5NwPhotos download: https://bit.ly/3NrhLXcKelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) today (14 October).

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) is showcasing smart mobility technologies, including cutting-edge Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technologies aim at enhancing autonomous driving safety, at the 44th HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), running from 13-16 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).The exhibition, drawing thousands of buyers and industry professionals from home and abroad, is one of the world’s premier electronics marketplaces, fostering industry exchange and collaboration. Participation at this annual flagship event would help promote ASTRI’s connected autonomous vehicles technology, bringing homegrown innovation to the global arena, and reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as a leading international innovation and technology hub.With smart mobility taking centre stage at this year’s Electronics Fair, ASTRI hosted a seminar today titled “Navigating Tomorrow: How Connected Autonomous Vehicles Reshape Industries”, where industry leaders shared insights into the future of autonomous driving, including market potential and associated challenges.ASTRI’s Chief Operating Officer Ir Chris Chong said at the seminar that autonomous vehicle (AV) technology mitigates human error and driving misconduct, thereby enhancing road safety. He added that the city’s autonomous driving technology is progressing in tandem with global developments. In alignment with the government’s initiative to further advance driverless technologies, ASTRI plans several autonomous bus trial runs at different locations in Hong Kong next year.Other seminar speakers include Mr Kenny Chan, Chief Director, Innovative Mind, ASTRI; Dr Weisong Wen, Assistant Professor, Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, and Team Member of Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; Mr Richard Lee, Functional Manager, CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing and CUHK Institute of Health Equity; Ms Doris Leung, Founder and CEO, Diamond Cab (Hong Kong) Limited; Mr Jojo Xu, CEO and Co-founder, Libpet Tech Ltd; and Mr Falcon Chan, Partner, Strategy, Risk & Transactions, Deloitte China.ASTRI’s booth is located at HKCEC’s Convention Hall Foyer [booth number: CH-J04], and the smart mobility technologies on display at the fair are:1. Smart Mobility Management PlatformASTRI's platform offers comprehensive fleet management, including vehicle status monitoring and dispatching. Seamlessly integrating connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV), it meets the evolving demands of future smart mobility. By combining V2X systems with traffic data from open sources and ASTRI's own deployments, the platform leverages AI to provide real-time insights, transforming urban mobility.

A road test with selected passengers is scheduled to be commenced in 2025, providing practical data for the future adoption of autonomous driving technology on public roads in Hong Kong.3. Privacy-Preserving Sensing System on Roadside Units (RSUs)These systems collect environmental information while safeguarding personal privacy by processing data locally, without transmitting to cloud servers. This ensures real-time, low-power sensing capabilities, ideal for applications like smart home automation and robotics. This combination of data privacy and efficient sensing facilitates more secure and reliable technology integration into everyday life.4. Mid-Range and High-Precision Full-Dome Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)Utilising ASTRI-owned intellectual property, this LiDAR achieves high scanning accuracy at economical cost. Designed for medium-range, high-precision 3D sensing, it serves applications in building information modeling (BIM), security, intelligent logistics, and smart cities. The LiDAR enhances overall efficiency by generating detailed BIM models within seven minutes. Its integration with V2X technology advances smart mobility, detecting movements of road users in real-time, enhancing navigation capabilities of CAVs.5. Real-Time On-Train Intrusion Detection SystemThis system, which is co-developed by MTR and ASTRI, offers real-time detection of unexpected objects within tunnels, using multi-sensing fusion technology. It identifies objects even in extremely low-light conditions, generating a 3D train envelope and providing instant alerts. This enhances railway safety and contributes valuable data for the development of Smart Railway.Meanwhile, Dr Justin Chuang, Vice President, Communications Technologies, ASTRI spoke at the Symposium on Innovation & Technology, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Electronics and Technologies Association, where he discussed the role of wireless communications technologies in promoting digital twins and related applications.Media EnquiryConnie Lau Tel: (852) 3406 2506 / (852) 9497 5390 Email: connielau@astri.orgBeatrice Lam Tel: (852) 3406 0196 / (852) 9036 0212 Email: beatricelam@astri.orgPhoto Download https://bit.ly/4eEkNTZLegislator The Hon Ir Dr Lo Wai Kwok (sixth from right), visits ASTRI’s booth at the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) with the accompany of HKTDC Electronics and Electrical Appliances Advisory Committee Chairman Professor Steve Chuang (fifth from right) and HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Ms Sophia Chong (seventh from right), along with other guests.
