UBS Group: The trial implementation of the policy for vehicles from Guangdong heading south will directly benefit the retail industry in Hong Kong.
UBS Group released a research report stating that the Hong Kong government will trial the policy of allowing vehicles from Guangdong to enter with a daily quota of 100 reservations. Since these vehicles will enter through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it is expected to primarily target residents from the western part of the Greater Bay Area, including Zhuhai and Zhongshan, which is believed will bring new customers to Hong Kong. Referring to the fact that one in every five Hong Kong vehicles participates in the northern travel quotas, the bank estimates that the demand for southern entry may be equally strong. UBS Group indicated that currently, travelers entering via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge only account for 7% of the total number of Mainland visitors to Hong Kong, significantly lower than the proportions through the High-speed Rail, Lok Ma Chau, Luohu, and Shenzhen Bay, reflecting that the existing sources of tourists are concentrated in the eastern part of the Greater Bay Area and Guangzhou.
Cushman & Wakefield maintains its forecast of a maximum 9% decline in office rents for the whole year, and expects rental prices for first-tier street shops and dining to remain generally stable in the second half of the year.

Deloitte's Executive Director and Head of Hong Kong Research, Deng Shuxian, stated that the atmosphere in the residential market continues to improve in the second quarter of this year. As the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) declined and remained at relatively low levels during the quarter, this helps to reduce mortgage and entry costs, providing favorable conditions for buyers to enter the market. At the same time, developers are seizing the opportunity to launch new projects and attract buyers with competitive pricing strategies, which have invigorated the primary market significantly, leading to a continued high overall Volume of residential transactions. According to Deloitte's estimates, the total number of residential sale and purchase agreements in the second quarter is expected to reach approximately 15,900, an increase of about 30% compared to the previous quarter.
