BENGALURU: Hong Kong's role in global finance is intact, with little evidence to suggest social unrest in the city has adversely impacted that role, global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings said yesterday.

It said yesterday that while Hong Kong's short-term outlook continues to deteriorate, the medium-term prospects seem more positive. The economy has sunk into its first recession in a decade, with businesses under pressure from the protests and protracted US-China trade war.
