| Agency's First Deputy Managing Director to Speak at AFF 2012 |
HONG KONG, Jan 12, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Hong Kong faces some downside in finance and trade because of the Eurozone debt crisis, according to David Lipton, First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Speaking ahead of next week's Asian Financial Forum (AFF), Mr Lipton also noted that asset and property prices in Hong Kong have "crested," and he predicted that world GDP growth will remain at a "reasonable level" between 3.5 per cent and four per cent this year.
