Recovery carries on The GBA Business Confidence Index(GBAI),which is based on quarterly surveys of over 1,000 companies operating in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area(GBA)conducted in collaboration with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council(HKTDC),shows that business confidence has further improved in Q2-2021,which bodes well for a strong start to H2-2021.The GBAI’s‘current performance’index for business activity has extended its uninterrupted uptrend since the GBAI’s launch a year ago,to 58.7 in Q2-2021 from 53.0 in Q1.Sub-indices for production/sales,new orders and profits showed the strongest improvements,with the latter being thanks to respondents’abilities to raise prices to maintain margins.
