(MENAFN) According to data released, Hong Kong's economy slowed to 1.8 percent in the second quarter, the slowest since the third quarter of 2012, Xinhua reported.
The second-quarter weak performance was mainly dragged down by a fall-off in tourist spending and a concurrent slowdown in domestic demand, a government economist said.
On a quarterly comparison, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) dropped 0.1 percent in the second quarter, after a 0.3 percent growth registered in the preceding quarter.
