HK seen slipping into recession with Q3 GDP

By Andrea Ricci

HONG KONG, Nov 26 (Reuters) - It may be no secret to anyone who has lost a job, taken a pay cut or watched the value of their home slide, but Hong Kong is expected to confirm on Friday what everyone already suspects: the territory has slipped into recession.

Economists polled by Reuters on average expect third-quarter data to show the economy contracted 2.07 percent in the quarter year on year. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the concensus among economists making a projection is for a 1.2 percent fall.

The economy grew 0.5 percent in the second quarter year on year but contracted 1.7 percent on a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally adjusted basis. Another negative quarter-on-quarter figure would satisfy the common definition of a recession.

And it's not the bottom yet.
