(Jan 30): Hong Kong’s beleaguered housing market is staging a comeback, the latest sign that the city is on the road to recovery following years of gloom.

Slower rate cuts by the Fed, which would slow the pace of easing in Hong Kong, could also crimp the recovery. “Banks remain wary of lending to commercial real estate projects,” said Thomas Chak, head of capital markets & investment services at Colliers Hong Kong. Hong Kong has seen more than 230,000 new arrivals via the scheme since 2023.
