HONG Kong shares have closed up 0.31 per cent following small gains on Wall Street and with China unveiling measures to help boost the mainland economy.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index added 67.99 points on Friday to 21,968.95 on turnover of HK$44.43 billion ($A6.24 billion).
Extending a week of quiet trade in the Chinese city, volume totalled HK$44.43, down from HK$45.33 billion on Thursday.
At the start of the week turnover was just HK$38.49 billion, the market's lowest point since September.
The slow trade has meant hope the market might push the 22,000 points barrier this week prove elusive.
"We still believe 22,000 is a kind of resistance," Steven Leung, head of institutional sales at UOB Kay Hian, told Dow Jones Newswires.
Investors, he added, were still in profit-taking mode after the index rallied more than 2 per cent on Tuesday.

The index rose 0.91 per cent for the week on hopes for policies to boost economic growth.
