|
|
|
Hong Kong's local currency and offshore yuan bonds are expected to maintain their growth momentum in 2026, driven by deepened market benchmarks and demand, according to a senior banker.
The broader Asian bond market, excluding Japan, has had a busy start to 2026, with high-profile issuances in Hong Kong dollars and offshore yuan leading the way, riding on last year's record volumes.
On Friday, Kuaishou Technology sold a 3.5 billion yuan (US$502 million) five-year note – known as a dim sum bond –......

Mainland Chinese buyers pour US$2 billion into Hong Kong super-luxury homes (SCMP)
|
|
|
After several subdued years, 2025 marked a turning point for demand in Hong Kong's most prestigious housing enclaves, as mainland buyers streamed back into scarce ultra-luxury homes once prices stabilised and transaction momentum rolled into the new year.
That shift was most visible in The Peak and Southern district – two low-density, ultra-wealthy neighbourhoods on opposite ends of Hong Kong Island. Mainland purchasers bought about HK$16 billion (US$2.05 billion) worth of homes in the areas in......

Thank you, David Webb, you made Hong Kong a better place (SCMP)
|
|
|
Like many long-time reporters in Hong Kong, I had occasional dealings with David Webb, the market transparency and shareholder rights crusader who died this week of prostate cancer at the relatively young age of 60. Almost all of my encounters with him over the years were annoying and slightly unpleasant. But they made me respect him all the more.
He once chastised me for misstating a relatively obscure Nasa space mission in the 1960s and demanded a print correction. I thought, who cares? But I......

HSBC reviews Singapore insurance unit amid focus on high growth in Hong Kong, China (SCMP)
|
|
|
HSBC Holdings' exploration of options for its insurance business in Singapore may lead to a sale of the unit as the group reallocates resources to its insurance business in Hong Kong and mainland China, according to analysts.
“It makes sense for HSBC to consider an exit from Singapore's insurance market to focus on Hong Kong and mainland China, as so many mainlanders are coming to Hong Kong to buy insurance products here,” said Kenny Tang Sing-hing, chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of......
