The chief economist of the Trade Development Council has claimed that Hong Kong's exports are expected to grow at a slow but sustainable pace in 2005.

Among the areas for export growth are jewellery and watches, according to the Hong Kong government.

According to Edward Leung, total export will rise by 8.5 per cent in value or 7.5 per cent in volume.

Jewellery exports will be helped by global economic rebound and watches are set for steady sales too.

Releasing the Hong Kong's Export Outlook for 2005: A Year of Consolidation report today, Mr Leung claimed that the US and the Mainland will particularly help to boost Hong Kong's exports growth.
