Hong Kong must ease listing rules to attract more angel funds and start-ups: HKEIA (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong would need to ease its listing rules and transaction requirements to attract more angel funds and become a hub for start-ups to go global, according to a leading industry body in the city.
The city has only around 100 active angel funds – private investment vehicles targeting very early-stage innovative enterprises. This was far fewer than Shenzhen, which had about 400 such institutions, according to Samson Tam Wai-ho, honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Electronic Industries......

New vs old: why new-builds are far outselling used homes in Hong Kong (SCMP)
|
|
|
A clear divide has opened up in Hong Kong's property market in recent months: sales of new-build homes have surged, but the recovery in the secondary market has remained far more modest.
The contrast between the two segments is not a coincidence – and is likely to persist for some time, according to analysts.
The trend is largely being driven by developers slashing prices on new-builds to clear their inventories ahead of expected interest rate rises in the coming months. This is making new homes......

Hong Kong faces limited impact if Fed curbs access to US dollar funding facility: analysts (SCMP)

A US lawmaker's call for a review of Hong Kong's access to a Federal Reserve facility that provides short-term US dollar funding would have limited impact on the city as it is not a regular source of financing, according to analysts, who said any restriction could instead weaken the US dollar's global dominance.
John Moolenaar, chairman of the House China Committee, has written to US Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Warsh urging a review of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) access to the......
