The Census and Statistics Department announced that the current diffusion index on business receipts of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) edged down from 44.3 in the contractionary zone in Mar 26 to 44 in Apr 26, while the business receipts outlook diffusion index for the next month (i.e. May 26) was 47.5. Analyzed by sector, the current diffusion index on business receipts for some surveyed sectors declined in Apr 26 compared with the previous month, notably the restaurants sector (from 40.6 to 38.1), the import and export trade sector (from 46.3 to 45.4), and the wholesale sector (from 42.2 to 41.3).

The current diffusion index on new orders for the import and export trade sector decreased from 46.8 in Mar 26 to 46.1 in Apr 26, while the new orders outlook diffusion index for the next month (i.e. May 26) was 47.9.

A government spokesperson said that SME business sentiment remained cautious in Apr 26 amid persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, but the situation stabilized slightly. The current diffusion index on business receipts for SMEs edged down, while the outlook index increased. Meanwhile, overall employment conditions remained broadly stable.

Looking ahead, developments in the Middle East conflict remain a major uncertainty affecting local business sentiment. However, the continued growth of the Hong Kong economy will provide support. The government has introduced targeted measures to alleviate the impact of high fuel costs and assist SMEs in coping with the current volatile market environment, and will continue to closely monitor the situation.
