Hong Kong posted strong trade figures for March on the back of what officials said was a sharp rebound in global demand.
Latest government figures showed exports last month jumped 26.4 percent year on year.
Imports, meanwhile, spiked 21.7 percent from a year ago.
In a statement, a government spokesperson said there had been a jump in exports to many major markets, including the mainland, Taiwan and India.
It said while the global economic recovery should continue to support Hong Kong's export performance going forward, authorities would keep a close watch on the pandemic development as well as other risk factors such as Sino-US relations and other geopolitical tensions.
