India, Nov. 13 -- Hong Kong's economic growth improved as initially estimated in the third quarter, the latest data from the Census and Statistics Department showed Friday.

Gross domestic product advanced 5.2 percent year-over-year in the third quarter, following a 4.2 percent growth in the second quarter. That was in line with the flash data published on November 3.

The acceleration in growth was underpinned by a further pick-up in already buoyant external trade growth and solid domestic demand, the agency revealed.
