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.

However, it added that the prolonged protests are undermining perceptions that Hong Kong is a stable international business hub and that a weaker view of its governance could impact its credit rating directly.In September, Fitch had downgraded Hong Kong's long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to AA from AA+ following months of protests.

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.
