The coverage of industries in the business sector is based on the Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification Version 2.0 which has been adopted since 2008. Figures for the years of 2008 or before did not cover: sewerage, waste collection, treatment and disposal activities, materials recovery and remediation activities and other waste management services. Nevertheless, those industries had only slight effect on the overall figures.
Figures on GDP refer to the latest statistics released in May 2021.
