The Group adopted a prudent strategic approach, advancing steadily while dynamically assessing new market opportunities.During the Year, the Group's loan origination volume in the Chinese mainland reached RMB58.45 billion. Cumulative registered users increased to 171 million, representing an increase of 8.2% from the end of 2024. The Group's total income remained relatively stable at RMB3,870.9 million.Prudently Optimizing Business Structure and Consolidating High-Quality Customer BaseFacing changes in the macroeconomic environment, the Group strengthened risk control and cost optimization, advancing its business prudently and gradually shifting its focus toward relatively higher-quality customer segments and more sustainable business models. By deepening ecosystem partnerships with multiple industry platforms, the Group refined its end-to-end intelligent customer acquisition and operation systems, and continued to optimize its funding partnership structure to enhance business resilience.Building upon its continuously enhanced technological capabilities, the Group focused on maintaining its base of high-quality users, intensifying collaborations with premium platforms across various sectors, including a leading comprehensive retail e-commerce provider, online travel service platforms, smart devices companies, and a map service provider. By establishing an intelligent outreach system integrating "smart SMS and AI-powered outbound calls," the Group created a full-cycle customer acquisition closed loop, encompassing precise screening, layered outreach, and efficient conversion.In operating its existing customer base, the Group implemented a two-dimensional strategy combining willingness models with risk models to execute refined and differentiated operations and services for various customer segments.

The application of the AI-powered marketing robot effectively contributed to improvements in customer acquisition conversion and customer value.Simultaneously, intelligent agent technologies, such as the "Digital Operations Engineer," have extended automation capabilities across the entire R&D and operational lifecycle. Currently, approximately 30% of code generation and standardized operational procedures are automated, solidifying the efficiency foundation. To address long-term technology trends, the Group has initiated specialized research on financial vertical large language models in collaboration with scientific research institutions and continues to explore technological integration with traditional finance and the Web3.0 ecosystem. The Group's research and development expenses for the Year increased by 43.9% year-on-year, reflecting the Company's continued investment in technological capabilities.Steadily Advancing International Exploration and Expanding New Business HorizonsWhile deepening its core consumer finance business in the Chinese mainland, the Group continued to advance its strategic expansion into new markets. Its Hong Kong business, "CreFIT," consistently deepened collaborations with high-quality platforms to broaden its customer base and launched a loan service featuring instant approval via WhatsApp, seeking to embed financial services into users' daily scenarios. Meanwhile, the Group formally entered the Indonesian market by launching its licensed Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services (LPBBTI), marking an important milestone. Leveraging its proven operational experience, the Group looks forward to creating sustainable value for shareholders of the Group.Outlook: Focusing on Quality and SustainabilityLooking ahead, VCREDIT noted that the macroeconomic landscape and industry regulatory framework are evolving dynamically. The Group will continue to leverage its established capabilities in risk management and technology, while rationally embracing industry trends and innovations. Future strategies will focus on: refining and adapting credit solutions to serve high-quality customers; improving operational efficiency and risk management capabilities by continuously advancing AI technologies in core business scenarios; reinforcing long-term partnerships with licensed financial institutions and premium cross-industry scenario partners; and cautiously evaluating potential investment opportunities, pursuing appropriate arrangements as they align with long-term goals to support steady and high-quality business development.

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年3月31日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.(“Datavault AI”或“公司”)(NASDAQ: DVLT),作為數據變現、身份認證、數字互動以及現實世界資產(RWA)代幣化技術領域的領先企業,與Coppercore Inc.(“Coppercore”)今日宣佈,雙方已完成一項具有約束力協議的簽署與交割,旨在對重要銅資源進行數字化和代幣化。該交易使Datavault AI能夠部署其專利的IDE®、DataScore®及DataValue®區塊鏈代幣化平台,創建Coppercoin™數字代幣,以代表對應地下銅資源的按比例所有權權益。該項目初期計劃鑄造不少於1億美元的數字銅代幣(Digital Copper Tokens)。Coppercoin™代幣的結構設計為:每枚代幣對應五磅高品位銅資源,其定價直接與COMEX銅基準價格(按每磅計)掛鈎。該機制為投資者提供了可分割、透明且具流動性的數字化所有權,同時使投資回報與實物銅市場動態及未來產量增長潛力保持一致。首期1億美元項目預計將在本年度第二季度末前啟動,從而實現銅資產代幣化的全球全天候投資可及性。Coppercoin™引入了一種全新的數字資產類別,可帶來市場效率與機遇的提升,包括流程升級以及未來銅工業產品(如銅精礦、沉澱銅及精煉銅(陰極銅))的生產。銅是推動全球能源轉型、人工智能基礎設施建設、電氣化、可再生能源系統以及脫碳進程的基礎金屬。全球銅需求預計將大幅增長——到2035年增長24%(Wood Mackenzie),到2040年最高可達50%(S&P Global)。這一增長主要由AI數據中心、電氣化進程以及全球能源擴張所驅動,而供應受限可能導致顯著的供需缺口。傳統銅市場(主要通過London Metal Exchange(LME)和COMEX進行交易)依然較為複雜,對全球眾多投資者而言可及性有限。Coppercoin™通過提供透明、可分割且具流動性的數字化所有權(支持全天候24/7交易),改變了這一現狀,為全球投資者提供了一種便捷、合規的方式參與銅市場機遇。Nathaniel T. Bradley,Datavault AI首席執行官表示:“我們今日與Coppercore達成的協議,是我們全球RWA代幣化戰略的重要里程碑。通過對銅資源進行代幣化,我們為投資者提供了機構級、可驗證且具流動性的數字化所有權,同時直接支持為人工智能、電氣化及能源轉型提供動力的關鍵礦產供應鏈。此次合作驗證了我們的專利平台作為戰略性自然資源合規代幣化基準基礎設施的地位。”Antonio Treminio,Coppercore Inc.首席執行官補充道:“與Datavault AI的合作,使作為一家以勘探、開發和生產為導向的銅礦企業,Coppercore能夠通過現代區塊鏈架構,加速我們高品位銅及銀資產的價值創造。Coppercoin™為全球投資者提供了一個合規、全天候(24/7)的數字化路徑,以持有並交易銅資產敞口,並在我們邁向商業化生產的過程中把握產量增長帶來的收益潛力。”這些代幣化資產將依託Datavault AI專有的智能合約技術,實現所有權的可驗證性、基於人工智能的價值評估,以及與商業化銅生產相關的未來收益參與權。本次交易進一步鞏固了Datavault AI在戰略性自然資源代幣化領域的領先地位,並確立Coppercoin™作為合規且具流動性的數字礦產資產行業標杆。關於Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™(NASDAQ: DVLT)是Web 3.0環境中以人工智能驅動的數據體驗、資產估值與變現領域的先行者。公司基於雲的平台通過其聲學科學(Acoustic Sciences)與數據科學(Data Sciences)兩大業務部門,提供全面解決方案。Datavault AI的聲學科學部門擁有WiSA®、ADIO®及Sumerian®等專利技術,專注於空間音頻與多聲道無線高清音頻傳輸,涵蓋音頻時序、同步以及多聲道干擾消除等核心知識產權。數據科學部門則利用Web 3.0及高性能計算技術,實現體驗式數據感知、估值及安全變現。該平台服務於多個行業,包括體育與娛樂、活動與場館、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療健康、能源等領域。信息數據交換平台Information Data Exchange®(IDE®)通過將現實世界中的實體對象與不可篡改的元數據安全綁定,實現數字孿生(Digital Twins)及姓名、形象與肖像權的授權,從而推動具備完整性與責任性的人工智能發展。Datavault AI的技術套件具備高度可定制性,涵蓋人工智能與機器學習自動化、第三方系統集成、精細化數據分析、營銷自動化及廣告監測等功能。公司總部位於美國賓夕法尼亞州費城。更多信息請訪問:https://datavaultsite.com  。關於Coppercore Inc.Coppercore Inc.是一家以勘探、開發及生產為導向的銅礦公司,專注於推動高品位銅及銀資源向商業化生產階段發展。網址:www.coppercore.co前瞻性聲明本新聞稿包含有關Datavault AI Inc.(“Datavault AI”、“公司”、“我們”)及其所處行業的“前瞻性聲明”(根據經修訂的《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法案》及其他證券法律的定義),涉及風險與不確定性。在某些情況下,您可以通過諸如“可能(may)”、“或許(might)”、“將(will)”、“應當(shall/should)”、“預期(expects)”、“計劃(plans)”、“預計(anticipates)”、“可能(could)”、“打算(intends)”、“目標(target)”、“項目(projects)”、“設想(contemplates)”、“相信(believes)”、“估計(estimates)”、“預測(predicts)”、“潛在(potential)”、“目標(goal/objective)”、“尋求(seeks)”、“可能性較大(likely)”或“持續(continue)”及其否定形式或類似表述來識別前瞻性聲明,這些表述通常涉及我們的預期、戰略、計劃或意圖。即使未包含上述詞語,也不意味著相關表述不屬於前瞻性聲明。此類前瞻性聲明包括但不限於:有關未來事件的陳述、與Coppercore合作的預期收益、公司專有IDE®、DataScore®、DataValue®及Data Vault®平台通過基於區塊鏈的代幣化對Coppercore銅銀礦資源所有權權益進行數字化的預期部署情況,以及公司商業戰略的預期運營、技術和商業成果,以及與數字資產相關監管變化的預期方向及其市場影響等。這些陳述均基於公司及其管理層認為合理的估計和假設,但其本質上具有不確定性。敬請讀者不要過度依賴本新聞稿中的這些及其他前瞻性聲明。由於多種風險和不確定性,實際結果可能與上述前瞻性聲明所示存在重大差異,這些風險包括但不限於:對安全高性能數據處理的市場需求變化;公司專有IDE®、DataScore®、DataValue®及Data Vault®平台在通過區塊鏈代幣化對Coppercore銅銀礦資源所有權權益進行數字化方面的性能、實施時間或成功程度;市場對Datavault AI服務和產品需求的變化;經濟、市場或監管環境的變化;與代幣化資產相關的監管框架演變風險;技術開發與整合相關風險;以及Datavault AI向美國證券交易委員會(SEC)提交的文件中更為詳細描述的其他風險與不確定性,包括其截至2025年12月31日止年度的Form 10-K年報及其不時向SEC提交的其他文件(可在SEC網站www.sec.gov查閱)。上述因素均可能導致實際結果與預期存在差異。本新聞稿中的前瞻性聲明僅反映聲明作出之日的情況。除法律要求外,Datavault AI不承擔更新本新聞稿中任何前瞻性聲明的義務,無論是因後續事件、情況變化、新信息或未預見事件的發生。Datavault AI未必能夠實現其前瞻性聲明中披露的計劃、意圖或預期,投資者不應對該等前瞻性聲明給予過度依賴。此外,Datavault AI的前瞻性聲明未反映其未來可能進行的任何收購、合併、資產處置、合資或投資所帶來的潛在影響。欲了解更多信息,請訪問:https://datavaultsite.com 或聯繫投資者關係部門。資料來源:1.

A Closer Look at Fosun International 2025 Annual Results: ‘One-Off Risk Clearance’ Paves Way for ‘RMB10 Billion Profit’

HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On the evening of 30 March, Fosun International announced its 2025 annual results. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s total revenue reached RMB173.43 billion, and adjusted industrial operation profit was RMB4 billion.Compared to prior years, Fosun’s results have remained solid. However, pursuant to the principle of prudence, Fosun made one-off non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain real estate projects with impairment indicators and goodwill and intangible assets of certain non-core business segments, resulting in a book loss of RMB23.4 billion in 2025, of which real estate-related impairment accounted for approximately 55%, while impairment of non-core assets accounted for approximately 45%.Fosun emphasized in the announcement that these provisions do not affect the Company’s overall operations and cash flow. However, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, offered a sincere apology in this year’s Letter to Shareholders, stating that “A loss is never desirable.” He further explained that, “Under the current market conditions, some of the projects we invested in years ago are now valued differently from what we expected at the time of investment. Accordingly, the Board has taken a prudent decision to complete this asset impairment, allowing Fosun to focus its resources and efforts more effectively on core, high-growth areas. At a time when the global economy is generating opportunities amid volatility and China’s innovation-driven industries are gaining growth momentum, deepening our strategic focus now allows us to optimize our asset structure and helps us secure a stronger position in key sectors, positioning Fosun as a leaner, healthier, and more sustainable company.”In recent years, Fosun has steadily advance its strategy of “streamlining operations and strengthening the business, focusing on core businesses”, generating approximately RMB75 billion in cash returns from asset and business divestments. This round of impairments marks Fosun’s decisive step to clear accumulated risks on a one-off basis and shed “historical burdens”. While the book loss appears significant, from the capital market’s perspective, Fosun’s share price has rebounded more than 10% since the announcement of its results preview on 6 March, indicating the market has recognized and accepted its “risk clearance”.In his Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang described this asset impairment as “repairing the roof on a sunny day”. Fosun International’s results announcement offers a clear illustration. Fosun’s core businesses has continued to deliver steady profits, reflecting solid operating fundamentals. At the same time, its long-established innovation and globalization strategies have become the core growth drivers for the Company. Collectively, these achievements underpin Fosun’s confidence in proceeding with “risk clearance” at this stage.Business fundamentals remain solid, pharmaceuticals and insurance segments deliver strong resultsLet’s start with Fosun’s business fundamentals. In 2025, Fosun International’s four core subsidiaries generated RMB128.2 billion in revenue, accounting for 74% of the Group’s total revenue. This demonstrates the results of Fosun’s strategic adjustment of “focusing on core businesses”, effectively addressing prior market concerns over “diversification”.Among them, Fosun Pharma, a core subsidiary of Fosun, achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent of RMB3.371 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.69%. Fosun Pharma’s biopharmaceutical innovation platform, Henlius, recorded revenue of RMB6.667 billion and net profit of RMB827 million, delivering growth in both revenue and net profit for the third consecutive year.Next, let’s take a look at Fosun’s most important overseas subsidiary, Fosun Insurance Portugal. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal achieved strong growth in revenue and net profit. Its net profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to EUR201 million, up 15.8% year-on-year, establishing it as a stable contributor to Fosun’s profitability. Fosun Insurance Portugal has benefited significantly from Fosun’s global ecosystem, expanding its presence from Portugal to overseas markets such as Europe, Latin America and Africa. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal received its inaugural A rating from S&P Global, reflecting international recognition of its asset quality and risk resilience.In Chinese mainland, Fosun’s two insurance companies have also performed well. Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance’s premium income for the year reached RMB13.28 billion, up 41.6% year-on-year, while net profit surged over 492% to RMB650 million. Meanwhile, Fosun United Health Insurance recorded insurance income of RMB7.84 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 50.1%, with net profit reaching RMB139 million, marking five consecutive years of profitability.Core drivers: innovation and globalization strategiesFosun Pharma and Fosun Insurance Portugal embody Fosun’s two core strategies: innovation and globalization.Since its establishment, Fosun has always regarded “innovation-driven research and development (R&D)” as its core strategy, and began its global expansion following its listing in Hong Kong. After years of intensive investment and exploration, innovation and globalization strategies have become the core driving forces behind Fosun’s development, consistently delivering results that generate “compounding returns” over time.The biggest change for Fosun Pharma in 2025 was strong growth in its innovative drug breakthroughs. During the Reporting Period, Fosun Pharma’s revenue from innovative drugs reached RMB9.893 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.59%, accounting for 33.16% of its pharmaceutical business revenue. Fosun Pharma had 16 indications of its 7 innovative drugs approved for marketing in China and overseas markets, while marketing applications for 6 innovative drug candidates were accepted.During the Reporting Period, nearly 40 of Fosun’s innovative drug clinical trials were approved by regulatory authorities in China, the United States and Europe, while multiple core products entered key clinical phases, laying a solid pipeline foundation for subsequent commercial growth.Henlius’ HLX43 remains the main focus of market interest. As a PD-L1-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with potential best-in-class characteristics and broad anti-tumor activity across multiple tumor types, HLX43 has shown significant advantages, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gynecological tumors, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and other indications. On 27 January 2025, it was approved for clinical trials in Chinese mainland, positioning it to become another landmark product for Fosun.This year, Fosun’s international business development (BD) efforts for innovative drugs made a notable impression on the market. For example, at the beginning of 2026, Fosun Pharma entered into an agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. in relation to HANSIZHUANG, with a potential total value of over USD300 million. At the end of 2025, Fosun Pharma’s subsidiary, Yao Pharma, signed a global exclusive licensing agreement with Pfizer, with a potential total value of over USD2 billion; Fosun Pharma Industrial entered into a strategic collaboration with biotechnology company Clavis Bio, with Fosun Pharma eligible to receive up to USD7.25 billion in payments.In terms of globalization, Fosun has established a profound business presence in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide. Today, it has achieved comprehensive globalization across products, services, and brands. In 2025, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB94.86 billion, accounting for 54.7% of total revenue, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.4 percentage points. Fosun’s globalization strategy has evolved from “acquiring globally” to “earning globally”.Club Med, a subsidiary of Fosun Tourism Group, operates 67 resorts worldwide. During the Reporting Period, Club Med once again achieved record-high performance, with revenue reaching RMB18.07 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.6%, while operating profit reached RMB1.44 billion, up 4.6% from 2024.Hainan Mining, a subsidiary of Fosun, has now developed into a global resource + new energy company and has made remarkable strides in its global expansion. Hainan Mining’s model of “overseas resources + processing in Hainan” entered a substantive operational stage in 2025. Its Bougouni Lithium Mine in Mali produced 45,000 tons of lithium concentrate, with the first shipment of 30,000 tons arriving at Yangpu Port in Hainan in January 2026. Additionally, through its subsidiary Roc Oil and the newly acquired oilfield project in Oman, Hainan Mining has accelerated the building of a “minerals + energy” network spanning West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.International rating agencies affirm Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”Fosun’s financial position remains the market’s primary focus.According to Fosun International’s results announcement, during the Reporting Period, cash, bank balances and term deposits amounted to RMB61.1 billion; unutilized banking facilities amounted to RMB144.6 billion; total debt to total capital ratio was 57%. Fosun has maintained a healthy financial position, with ample cash reserves. International rating agencies have broadly affirmed Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”.Guo Guangchang stated in his Letter to Shareholders that, at present, Fosun’s core businesses remain solid, liquidity position is robust, and banking relationships remain stable. The Company’s major shareholder and management team have announced plans to increase their holdings in the shares of the Company and the Company will also proceed with a share buyback program. With Fosun’s core businesses continuing to grow and strategic plans firmly on track, “We are confident in our ability to support a return of the share price to fair value and better protect the long-term interests of our shareholders.”In addition to its results announcement, Fosun announced that it is committed to increasing its dividend payout ratio, targeting an increase from the current 20% to 35% for the 2026  financial year. Based on the accumulated distributable profit of the Company, the dividend for the 2026 financial year is expected to be not less than HKD1.5 billion.We can reasonably expect that this round of “strategic streamlining” will inject greater certainty into Fosun’s future business growth.In this year’s Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang also disclosed Fosun’s medium-term financial goals: “We strive to gradually restore annual profit to the RMB10 billion level; at the group level, we aim to generate RMB60 billion in cash returns, reduce total debt to below RMB60 billion, and strive to achieve an investment-grade rating.” He stated that, “Fosun has always stayed true to its original aspiration: to do the right things, the difficult things and the things that take time to develop. For Fosun’s future, we do not seek short-term gains; we seek to build a foundation for lasting success.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

The initial program targets the minting of $100 million or more in Digital Copper Tokens.Coppercoin™ tokens are structured such that each token corresponds to five pounds of underlying high-grade copper resources, with pricing directly linked to the COMEX copper benchmark on a per-pound basis.This mechanism provides fractional, transparent, and liquid digital ownership while aligning investors' returns with physical copper market dynamics and future production upside. The initial $100 million program is scheduled for launch by the end of the second calendar quarter of this year, making tokenized copper accessible to global investors around the clock.Coppercoin™ introduces a new digital asset class that delivers market efficiencies and opportunities, including upgrade of processes and the future production of copper industrial products such as Cu concentrate, Cu cement, and Cu refined copper ("Cathodes").Copper is the foundational metal powering the global energy transition, AI infrastructure, electrification, renewable energy systems, and decarbonization. Global copper demand is projected to surge dramatically - 24% by 2035 (Wood Mackenzie) and up to 50% by 2040 (S&P Global), driven by AI data centers, electrification, and global energy expansion, while supply constraints risk significant deficits. Traditional copper markets (primarily trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Commodities Exchange Inc. (COMEX) remain complex and less accessible for many investors worldwide. Coppercoin™ changes this by offering transparent, fractional, and liquid digital ownership - tradeable 24/7 - providing global investors an easy, compliant way to participate in the copper market opportunity.Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: "Today's agreement with Coppercore represents a major milestone in our global RWA tokenization strategy. By tokenizing copper resources, we are delivering institutional-grade, verifiable, and liquid digital ownership to investors while directly supporting the critical minerals supply chain that powers AI, electrification, and the energy transition. This partnership validates our patented platform as the benchmark infrastructure for compliant tokenization of strategic natural resources."Antonio Treminio, CEO of Coppercore Inc., added: "Partnering with Datavault AI allows Coppercore, as an exploration, development, and production-oriented copper mining company, to accelerate value creation from our high-grade copper and silver assets through a modern blockchain structure. Coppercoin™ provides a compliant, 24/7 digital pathway for investors worldwide to own and trade copper exposure, capturing production upside as we advance toward commercial output."The tokenized assets will leverage Datavault AI's proprietary smart-contract technology for verifiable ownership, AI-driven valuation, and future revenue participation rights tied to commercial copper production. This transaction further solidifies Datavault AI's leadership in tokenizing strategic natural resources and establishes Coppercoin™ as the benchmark for compliant, liquid digital mineral assets.About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

Hong Kong exporter sentiment moderates amid global uncertainties

HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Amid ongoing global trade and economic uncertainties, Hong Kong exporters have adopted a more cautious stance in the first quarter of 2026, despite a strong export performance in the last few months, according to new research from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). The HKTDC 1Q26 Export Confidence Index, released today, showed moderate declines for two key indicators, the Current Performance Index and the Expectation Index. For 1Q26, the Current Performance Index stood at 46.5. Meanwhile, the Expectation Index returned a figure of 46.9, reflecting caution among survey respondents in light of the uncertain external environment.Trade value expectations, however, remained relatively steady. The Trade Value Sub-Index stayed near the neutral threshold, with the Current reading at 50.9 and the Expectation reading at 49.1. This suggests that unit prices are expected to hold firm in the next few months. Meanwhile, both the Current and Expected Inventory Sub-Index rose above 60, indicating inventory rundown amid growing shipments in the early months of the year.Market outlook: Cautious optimismCommenting on the findings, HKTDC Director of Research, Bruce Pang, said: “The outlook for many of Hong Kong’s major markets has moderated somewhat, including the ASEAN bloc and the Chinese Mainland, largely on account of ongoing geopolitical developments. In the longer term, however, fundamental demand – especially for electronics and other consumer sectors – remains resilient. Hong Kong’s trade prospects should stay positive, yet remain cautious, pending the further easing of global geopolitical conflicts.”Sector performance: Jewellery and clothing outperformDespite the overall softening, several key sectors outperformed the overall Index. Most notably, the jewellery sector rallied impressively, supported by robust sales and sizeable new orders. The jewellery sector’s Current reading climbed to 57.1 (up 5.9), while its Expectation reading rose to 56.0 (up 1.1). The clothing sector also showed considerable improvement, with its Current Index rising to 52.1 (up 6.1) and its Expectation Index increasing by 9.2 points to 53.4. However, sentiment among electronics exporters weakened, with a Current reading of 44.9 and an Expectation reading of 45.6, signalling disruptions over the Chinese New Year period.Cost pressures showed signs of stabilising. Although still in negative territory, the Cost Sub-Index improved significantly, with the Current reading rising 15.2 points to 38.1 and its Expectation reading up by 8.5 points to 41.3. This indicates potential sustained relief from cost pressures, despite recent surges in oil and energy prices triggered by developments in the Middle East. The impact of the recent conflict in the region was not factored into this survey as the fieldwork was carried out in January and February.E-commerce as a growing sales channelAs part of the same survey, HKTDC Research also conducted a thematic assessment of Hong Kong exporters’ cross-border e-commerce business. The findings showed that 46% of respondents were already engaged in cross-border e-commerce, while a further 20% plan to enter the sector within the coming year. Among companies already engaged in cross-border e-commerce, the Chinese Mainland ranked as the leading e-commerce sales destination (24%), followed by the EU27 & UK (17%) and Canada & the US (15%), while the ASEAN bloc (14%) continued to emerge as a promising market with notable growth potential.Kenneth Lee, HKTDC Section Head of Special Project & Business Advisory, added: “Market diversification remains a key strategy for Hong Kong traders to mitigate risks. At the same time, more companies are leveraging e-commerce channels to boost sales and enhance business sustainability amid an uncertain external environment.”ReferencesHKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q26: Hong Kong Exporters Stay Cautious Amid Uncertaintieshttps://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjI4MDE5MDc3OQHKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/Photo download: https://bit.ly/4s5kh7oHKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang (right) and Section Head of Special Project & Business Advisory Kenneth Lee (left), announced the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for 2026’s first quarter at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Bruce PangHKTDC Section Head of Special Project & Business Advisory Kenneth LeeMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications and Public Affairs Department:Johnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAgnes WatTel: (852) 2584 4554Email: agnes.ky.wat@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
