< p > Hongkong's retail sales plunged 9.8% in April, the biggest decline in 5 years.

Because the number of free pedestrians in the May 1 Golden Week and Dragon Boat Festival has dropped, the retail sales value in May is also expected to be roughly the same as in April.

P, the chairman of the Retail Management Association, said that if the annual retail sales value could increase by 5%, it would be better or lower.

"All the data tell us that free regulation has already been made, and that free regulation in the free market has made the retail industry slide.

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the forecast of our retail management association increased by 9% to 12%. Before we lowered it to 7%, I believe that it is unlikely that even if the growth is substantial in the second half of this year, the base in the second half of last year will be lower. It is unlikely that the annual data will be increased by half a year. If there is 5%, we will feel that there is growth.
