Growth is likely to pick up modestly to about 2 percent in 2017, with private consumption continuing to be a main driver supported by a steady labor market. The current account surplus remained below 3 percent of GDP. Over the longer term, aging pressures may weaken the structural fiscal position, requiring fiscal planning to alleviate the decline, and a housing supply shortage also needs to be tackled.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/011Fiscal policyChinaFiscal policyChinaHong KongInfrastructureimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfReal EstateimfStatisticsimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfEconomic Development: Urban, Rural, Regional, and Transportation AnalysisimfHousingimfFiscal PolicyimfHousing Supply and MarketsimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfProperty & real estateimfBankingimfIncomeimfFiscal policyimfExternal sector statisticsimfIncome distributionimfNational accountsimfEconomic and financial statisticsimfSaving and investmentimfEconomic statisticsimfHong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of ChinaimfFiscal policyFiscal policyInfrastructureMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceReal EstateStatisticsAggregate Factor Income DistributionData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherEconomic Development: Urban, Rural, Regional, and Transportation AnalysisHousingFiscal PolicyHousing Supply and MarketsEconometrics & economic statisticsProperty & real estateBankingIncomeFiscal policyExternal sector statisticsIncome distributionNational accountsEconomic and financial statisticsSaving and investmentEconomic statistics336.201451DcWaIMFBOOK9910162924503321People's republic of China-Hong Kong special administrative region3418187UNINA
