一 | 香港8月14日电（记者郑静霞）香港特区政府14日表示，由于今年上半年实际经济表现好于预期以及短期前景向好，将2026年全年实质本地生产总值增长预测由2.5%至3.5%上调为3.5%至4.5%。 特区政府表示，得益于对外贸易蓬勃和内部需求强韧，二季度香港经济继续蓬勃扩张。二季度香港实质本地生产总值同比增长4.3%，一季度同比增长5.9%。上半年，香港实质本地生产总值同比增长5.1%，为近5年来最强劲的半年度表现。 出口方面，二季度香港整体货物出口增速加快，同比实质增长28.9%；服务输出同比实质增长3.4%，所有主要服务组别的输出均持续增长。 The decision says the state-level department “will recognize any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat … as eligible for the Georgia individual income tax dependent exemption,” explaining that the new rule follows from the US Supreme Court’s June ruling in Dobbs vs. Jackson and a US Court of Appeals decision in Sistersong vs. Kemp that was handed down on July 20.,The former overturned the 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling, removing the federal right to an abortion, and the latter allowed Georgia’s so-called “heartbeat bill,” signed into law in 2019 but blocked by a judge, to take effect.,Beginning on July 20, 2022, taxpayers filing a claim can get a tax exemption of $3,000 per embryo, but may need to provide "relevant medical records or other supporting documents,” the department says.,The Georgia law claims to ban abortions after what it calls a “fetal heartbeat” is detectable, which can be as early as six weeks after conception, when most people don’t yet know that they’re pregnant. However, the situation it describes in that way is not actually a heartbeat, but a series of electrical impulses from a cluster of cells that will eventually grow into the heart’s “pacemaker” if the pregnancy develops normally.,Opponents have said the concept is not scientific and is an attempt to ban abortions at an extremely early time.,Before the high court struck down Roe vs. Wade in June, the 1973 ruling had banned restrictions on abortion access during the first trimester, which typically ends around week 12 of the pregnancy, and only allowed restrictions, but not bans, during the second trimester. However, with those rules now gone, several restrictive laws passed years ago but blocked because they violated the court’s ruling have now been allowed to take effect, as have abortion-banning laws from before the Roe ruling that were never removed from the books, and so-called “trigger laws” written to take effect whenever Roe was overturned.,Thus, according to the law in Georgia, the moment an embryo (it’s not technically a fetus yet) in a pregnant person’s uterus has a detectable series of “pacemaker” electrical signals, it’s officially a person.,However, more liberal areas of the Peach State have vowed to oppose the two court rulings, with district attorneys in the Atlanta area pledging they will “not be using precious tax dollars allocated to this office to pursue prosecutions” under the abortion-restricting law.,In other US states with similar “heartbeat” laws, the effort to extend legal personhood to fetuses and embryos has hit rockier terrain. An Arizona judge blocked a bill on the subject last month, calling it “constitutionally vague.”,Taxation isn’t the only unexpected change caused by the Dobbs ruling: a woman in Texas has tried to argue that her unborn fetus should count as a passenger in her car, allowing her to drive in the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane on the highway.。
二 | 内部需求在消费和投资两方面均保持强韧。二季度香港私人消费开支连续第5个季度扩张，同比实质上升2.8%；整体投资开支同比实质增幅进一步扩大至4.4%。 展望未来，特区政府经济顾问范婉儿表示，下半年香港经济将保持稳健增长。全球对人工智能相关电子产品的需求旺盛，将继续支持香港的商品贸易表现，相关物流服务也将受惠。服务输出将受惠于访港旅客的持续增长，以及对香港金融及商业服务的稳定需求。在稳定的劳工市场状况、良好的营商环境和消费信心的支持下，内部需求将保持坚挺。
