HONG KONG (Xinhua): Hong Kong's economy maintains a steady recovery and is expected to record an economic growth of around 6.5 per cent this year, said Paul Chan Mo-po, financial secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government.

Hong Kong's economic recovery benefited from its strong export and fixed investment in the first half of the year, as well as the improvement in private consumption spending, Chan said in a blog post on Sunday.
