Hong Kong New Normal Tracking Study - More stability and less pessimism but still not the end of the tunnel
Covid-19 remains the top concern for Hong Kong residents, nearly one in four (23%) claiming it is the main challenge facing the SAR today, based on the latest poll from our New Normal tracker. Unsurprisingly, a similar proportion (21%) think inflation is the second main challenge for the Territory, with health being the third (19%).
While the relaxation of covid restrictions will help restore some normality and Hong Kong residents are less pessimistic, the Territory will continue facing headwinds in 2023. A majority of our survey respondents (70%) expect inflation to go up over the course of the year. As a result, four in 10 (41%) residents expect their disposable income and standard of living to decline over the next 12 months.

Ipsos Update – August 2022
With recent record-high temperatures in Europe in mind, Ben Page introduces this month’s edition with reflections on whether the more urgent threat of inflation threatens to overshadow the global public’s concern about climate change. We explore this in more detail with articles on perceptions of inflation in the MENA region, and deep dives into concern about climate change in Switzerland and support for net zero policies in the UK. We also look at the perception of traditional and non-traditional media across the EU and how technology will influence the future of music.
