|
|
|
Tenant churn in retail properties in Hong Kong will continue in coming months, as prominent restaurants close but affordable eateries and fast-food chains thrive amid economic uncertainty and job insecurity among local residents, analysts said.
Hong Kong's food and beverage (F&B) operators have taken a hit during the ongoing economic slump, which shrank retail sales for 14 straight months before a 2.4 per cent rebound in May and a 0.7 per cent gain in June, according to official data.

Hong Kong stablecoin regime a ′double-edged sword′, analysts say (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong's new stablecoin law sets a global standard but might initially sideline innovative start-ups while encouraging big local and mainland financial firms to participate in the cryptocurrency sector's growth, industry experts said.
The city rolled out one of the most stringent stablecoin regimes globally and kick-started the application process for potential issuers on Friday, part of a broader effort to be a leading digital asset hub connected to China's vast economy. The move aims to......

Rebound in Hong Kong′s home prices unlikely to come this year: analysts (SCMP)
|
|
|
The improving sentiment in Hong Kong's property market has spurred hope for a sustainable recovery in home prices, but analysts suggest the rebound is unlikely to come this year due to an uptrend in mortgage rates and a nagging supply glut.
As of Friday, about 9,150 first-hand transactions had been recorded so far this year, a 3.9 per cent increase from a year earlier and a six-year high since 11,580 transactions were recorded in the first half of 2019, according to agents.

Hong Kong housing market bound for gradual recovery: analyst (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong's housing market is poised for a gradual recovery starting in the second half of this year, as population inflows, falling interest rates and a rebound in rental demand restore confidence, according to Bocom International.

Analysts say a weaker US dollar could be both good and bad for Hong Kong (SCMP)
|
|
|
A weaker US dollar could serve as a double-edged sword for Hong Kong, according to analysts.
While a falling US dollar was likely to lure global investors back to Hong Kong's stock and property markets, it could also contribute to higher inflation and lower asset values, analysts said.
Because Hong Kong's currency is pegged to the US dollar, a weaker US currency would also weaken the local currency, making imports more expensive and driving up inflation, said Kai Wang, a market strategist at......
