New from Business Monitor International: "Hong Kong Real Estate Report Q4 2009"

Nov. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- This is the first edition in BMI's new series of reports on real estate sectors around the world. We have sought to incorporate data and insights from our reports on infrastructure and commercial banking - as well as our own forecasts for the economies of the various countries that we survey. Key issues - Hong Kong We suggests that the following are the key issues to monitor for the real estate sector in the coming year or so:  The growth rate in the construction sector, which is very low and not anticipated to increase much in the short-to-medium term. Bank lending and the growth rate of bank lending, which are currently at reasonable levels. Property prices, which are experiencing a steady but unspectacular growth.  These conclusions are based on our proprietary Real Estate/Construction Business Environment Rating (RECBER), the component factors of which we discuss in detail. The conclusions are also set against recent conditions in the commercial office market - for which we have used office rents in major cities as a proxy and in the residential real estate market - for which we have used housing prices as a proxy. A major trend throughout all our real estate reports is that - mainly due to the global financial crisis, access to funding will be more important than usual. Accordingly, we have incorporated overviews of conditions in the commercial banking sector - both globally and in the region of each country. We have also looked at the issues that will drive the fortunes of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) over the coming months.
