The value of June retail sales reached HK$31.5 billion, or US$4.01 billion, and first-half retail sales increased 9.6% versus the same period in 2025.

SCMP Economy notes that a government spokesman pointed to continued economic expansion, rising local incomes, and a steady increase in inbound visitors as support for the sector, while also flagging external uncertainties as a downside risk.

Within the categories, jewelry, watches, clocks and valuable gifts posted the strongest gain, up 20.1% year over year in June, followed by electrical and other consumer durables, which rose 11.3%.
