HONG KONG: Fitch: Hong Kong Protests Highlight Economic, Governance Risks
- Disruptions to economic activity from recurring protests in Hong Kong present
a downside risk to our GDP growth forecasts, but are unlikely to undermine the
territory's considerable financial buffers in the near term, Fitch Ratings says.
However, the unrest and apparent rising distrust in government runs the risk of
damaging business confidence and eroding the quality and effectiveness of
governance, which supports Hong Kong's three-notch positive sovereign rating
differential with mainland China.
