Enhancing Hong Kong’s strength as a global financial centre: 2026-27 Budget

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2026 – In his 2026-27 Budget announced on Wednesday (25 February), Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) outlined areas for comprehensively reinforcing the city’s position as a leading international financial hub.

Despite the complex and ever-changing external environment, Mr Chan noted that Hong Kong’s financial market had performed strongly and the city’s financial system remains robust.

In 2025, Hong Kong ranked first globally for funds raised through initial public offerings.

“We will continue to consolidate our existing strengths, tap into emerging fields, strengthen market systems and risk control and deepen financial co-operation in the Greater Bay Area,” Mr Chan said. “By doing so, we will enhance Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre on all fronts and contribute to the national strategic goal of ‘accelerating China’s development as a financial powerhouse’ “.

With Hong Kong being the world’s largest hub for offshore Renminbi (RMB) business, the Financial Secretary said the city would leverage its unique strengths and proactively align with national development strategies.

For advancing the internationalisation of the RMB, Mr Chan said Hong Kong would facilitate the wider use of RMB in activities such as trade and cross-boundary business; reduce transaction costs; enrich product offerings in the offshore RMB market; improve price discovery in the short-to-medium-term-interest-rate market; and attract high-quality issuers to increase RMB bond issuance in Hong Kong.

In 2025, the stock market delivered a stellar performance. The Hang Seng Index rose by 28 per cent over the year. The daily turnover surged by 90 per cent to a historic high of close to $250 billion (US$32 billion).

Mr Chan said the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) would continue enhancing the securities market, attracting issuers and boosting market efficiency.

“We will also introduce the next stage of reforms, including enhancing the regulatory regime for listed companies, providing specific guidelines for overseas companies seeking secondary listing in Hong Kong, offering more overseas markets as recognised exchanges, and continuing to explore with the market the provision of an over-the-counter trading platform for delisted stocks or those requiring special handling.

“The electronic bond-trading platform will also be launched in the second half of this year, thereby reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a global fixed income and currency hub,” he said.

To attract more family offices and funds to set up in Hong Kong, Mr Chan said Hong Kong would enhance the tax regime, including expanding the scope of “fund” to cover specific funds-of-one, as well as classifying digital assets, precious metals, and specified commodities, etc. as qualifying investments eligible for tax concessions.

Regarding the development of digital assets, the Government published the second policy statement for developing Hong Kong into a global hub for digital asset innovation through the establishment of a comprehensive regulatory framework.

A bill will be introduced this year to establish licensing regimes for, among others, digital asset dealing and custodian service providers.

“We will also explore the adoption of electronic signature for bond issuance documents and the digitalisation of bearer bonds,” Mr Chan said.

To promote the application of fintech and enhance the efficiency of the asset management market, the CMU OmniClear, a market infrastructure operator established by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will establish a digital asset platform this year. It will support the issuance and settlement of digital bonds. The platform will also be gradually extended to other digital assets and linked with other tokenisation platforms in the region, consolidating Hong Kong’s leading role in the realm of digital assets.

In order to build an international gold trading market in Hong Kong, Mr Chan said the Government would explore offering tax incentives for eligible institutions conducting gold trading and settlement in Hong Kong; assist the industry in setting up an industry-led trade association to consolidate resources, step up promotion, and foster ties with industry stakeholders from around the world; and help the industry keep abreast of the latest gold market developments, acquire relevant skills and develop a training framework.

计及非现金项目的投资物业重估亏损(扣减递延税项)6.82亿港元(2024年:重估亏损4.07亿港元),中期年度集团股东应占净溢利为15.33亿港元(2024年:18.20亿港元)。每股盈利为0.17港元(2024年:0.21港元)。集团于2025年12月31日拥有净现金514.02亿港元。

物业销售销售势头持续向好,带动业务分部表现

中期年度内,集团应占物业销售总收入(连同所占联营公司及合营企业)为69.12亿港元(2024:24.48亿港元)。受惠于减息周期、金融市场表现强劲,以及专才与海外留学生抵港,进而带动刚性住房需求,市场信心于2025年下半年显著提升。

集团在过去六个月成功投得两幅政府用地,分别是屯门海珠路(屯门市地段第569号)及佐敦谷彩兴路的(新九龙内地段第6674号),贯彻集团审慎且具有策略性的方针,购入具良好发展价值的用地补充土地储备,也印证了集团对香港长远发展前景的坚定信心。

2026年将推出两个新项目,分别是将军澳的海瑅湾及土瓜湾的荣光街╱崇安街发展项目。于2025年7月1日至2026年2月13日期间,集团共售出2,325套住房(集团权益应占:1,052套),主要受惠于市场对凯柏峰、柏珑III及柏景峰推出的房源反应理想。

多元化和平衡的投资物业组合巩固长期韧性

中期年度内,集团应占总租金收益(连同所占联营公司及合营企业)为17.08亿港元(2024年:17.48亿港元),按年下降2.3%。即便零售市场气氛之后按季有所改善,跌幅主要由于2025年年初零售市场疲软,对重订续约租金造成压力所致。集团投资物业组合的整体出租率表现维持稳定。

香港于2025年全年共有119只新股上市,位列全球首次公开招股(IPO)集资额榜首,反映香港继续充分发挥其国际枢纽和金融中心的独特优势。在香港特区政府的支持下,人才计划反应热烈,而且金融市场蓬勃发展,既提振整体市场信心,更为持续推动经济增长奠定坚实基础。集团正积极透过实施针对目标客群的宣传和推广活动,吸引人流并鼓励顾客在集团旗下零售物业消费。

于2025年12月31日,集团在中国内地、香港、新加坡及悉尼的投资物业及酒店应占楼面面积约13.5百万平方呎。

酒店业务入住率持续上升

中期年度内,集团酒店收入(连同所占联营公司及合营企业)为8.22亿百万港元,而去年同期为7.94亿港元,经营溢利为2.89亿港元(2024年:2.61亿港元)。

2025年,香港旅游业持续强劲复苏,本地盛事活动日益蓬勃,进一步带动访港旅客持续回升。2026年的一连串盛事活动,包括亚太区经济合作组织(亚太经合组织)财政部长会议,令集团对香港旅游业的前景保持信心。

凭借稳健基础及财务状况,集团作好准备把握机遇

集团在可持续发展道路上稳步迈进。中期年度内,信和置业获纳入CDP最高基准—气候变化A级别名单,并在全球房地产可持续标准(Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark,GRESB)房地产评估中获评为发展基准”全球业界领导者”—住宅类别,以及在发展基准和常设投资基准中均获颁发可持续发展标准最高的五星级别。 集团还于MSCI环境、社会及管治(ESG)评级中由”AA”级提升至最高”AAA”级。这些认可再次肯定信和置业推动ESG及可持续发展的努力。

信和置业主席黄永光先生表示:”随着中国内地及香港有望吸纳更多环球投资者的资金流入,我对自2025年下半年以来经济及营商环境的显著改善深感鼓舞。在政府支持措施带动下,至今已有逾27万名人才来港,访港旅客以及家族办公室落户数字近年也录得双位数增长,香港更于去年位列全球首次公开招股集资额榜首,有助提振市场信心及升势。最新公布的《财政预算案》积极配合国家发展策略,在多个重点领域衔接’十五五’规划,推动北部都会区及创新科技发展,进一步体现香港’内联外通、人才汇聚’的独特优势,预期将有助持续吸引人才、企业和资金汇聚,并巩固国际投资者对香港市场的信心。

在市场预期利率进一步下调,以及旅游业稳健复苏的带动下,集团对整体前景依然乐观,并预期住宅市场将可延续动力。我们将一如既往秉持审慎理财原则,致力提升营运效率和生产力。凭借稳健的财务基础及前瞻性的策略部署,我们期望把握未来发展机遇,为投资者持续创造长远价值。”

Results and Business Highlights

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2026 – Sino Land Company Limited (Stock Code: 83) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025 (the “Interim Period”). The Group’s unaudited underlying profit attributable to shareholders, excluding the effect of fair-value changes on investment properties for the Interim Period, was HK$2,220 million (2024: HK$2,241 million). Underlying earnings per share was HK$0.24 (2024: HK$0.26).

Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land, and the Group's management will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity to capture future opportunities.
Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land, and the Group’s management will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity to capture future opportunities.

After taking into account the revaluation loss (net of deferred taxation) on investment properties of HK$682 million (2024: revaluation loss of HK$407 million), which is a non-cash item, the Group reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of HK$1,533 million for the Interim Period (2024: HK$1,820 million). Earnings per share was HK$0.17 (2024: HK$0.21). As at 31 December 2025, the Group had net cash of HK$51,402 million.

Property Sales – Accelerated sales momentum drives strong segment performance

Total revenue from property sales for the Interim Period, including property sales of associates and joint ventures, attributable to the Group was HK$6,912 million (2024: HK$2,448 million). Market sentiment improved notably in the second half of 2025, supported by the interest rate cut cycle, stronger financial market performance, and the inflow of talent and overseas students, all of which helped underpin housing demand.

The Group has won two government land tenders over the past six months, namely Tuen Mun Town Lot No. 569 on Hoi Chu Road in Tuen Mun and New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 6674 on Choi Hing Road in Jordan Valley. These acquisitions continue to reflect our confidence in Hong Kong’s long‑term prospects and our disciplined and strategic approach to replenishing the land bank with projects offering good development value.

Two new projects are scheduled for launch in 2026, namely La Mirabelle in Tseung Kwan O and the Wing Kwong Street/Sung On Street Development Project in To Kwa Wan. Total units sold from 1 July 2025 to 13 February 2026 reached 2,325 (attributable units: 1,052), mainly driven by the well‑received launches at Villa Garda, Grand Mayfair III and ONE PARK PLACE.

A diversified and balanced investment property portfolio reinforces long-term resilience

For the Interim Period, the Group’s attributable gross rental revenue, including share from associates and joint ventures, was HK$1,708 million (2024: HK$1,748 million), representing a decrease of 2.3% year-on-year. This decline was mainly due to the soft retail environment at the beginning of 2025, which put pressure on rental reversions, although retail sentiment improved sequentially. Overall occupancy of the Group’s investment property portfolio remained stable during the Interim Period.

Hong Kong remains well positioned to leverage its status as an international hub and financial centre, highlighted by the 119 new listings that ranked the city first globally in IPO fundraising in 2025. Supported by the HKSAR Government, the strong uptake of talent schemes and robust financial market activity strengthen overall market sentiment and lay a solid foundation for sustained business growth. The Group is actively implementing targeted marketing and promotional campaigns to stimulate foot traffic to its malls and drive retail consumption.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group has approximately 13.5 million square feet of attributable floor area of investment properties and hotels in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.

Hotel Operations – Continuous improvement in occupancy rates

For the Interim Period, the Group’s hotel revenue, including attributable share from associates and joint ventures, was HK$822 million compared to HK$794 million in the last interim period, and the corresponding operating profit was HK$289 million (2024: HK$261 million).

Hong Kong continued to see a solid tourism rebound in 2025, with visitor arrivals recovering amid an increasingly vibrant event calendar. With a diverse pipeline of events scheduled for 2026, including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers’ Meeting, the Group remains confident in the outlook for Hong Kong’s tourism sector.

With solid fundamentals and balance sheet, the Group is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities

The Group continues to make steady strides on its sustainability journey. In the Interim Period, Sino Land was recognised in CDP’s Climate Change A List and named Global Sector Leader in the Residential category of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark, achieving the highest five‑star rating in both Development Benchmark and Standing Investment Benchmark. The Company also received MSCI’s top ‘AAA’ ESG rating, up from ‘AA’. These recognitions reaffirm Sino Land’s commitment to promoting ESG and sustainability.

‘As the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong are poised to attract increasing global capital inflows from investors, I am encouraged by the notable improvement in the economic and operating environment since the second half of 2025. Supported by the Government’s measures, more than 270,000 talent have been attracted to Hong Kong to date, while visitor arrivals and the establishment of family offices have both recorded double‑digit growth in recent years. Hong Kong also ranked first globally in IPO fundraising last year, which has helped strengthen market sentiment and support the upward trajectory. The newly announced Budget is closely aligned with the nation’s development strategy and the 15th Five‑Year Plan across key priority areas. It fosters the development of the Northern Metropolis and innovation and technology, further highlighting Hong Kong’s close connectivity with Chinese Mainland and the world, as well as its large pool of talent. These initiatives are expected to help draw additional talent, enterprises and capital, and to reinforce international investors’ confidence in the Hong Kong market.

Amid expectations of further interest rate cuts and a solid recovery in tourism, the Group remains optimistic about the overall outlook and expects the residential market to retain its momentum. We will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity. With a solid financial position and forward‑looking strategies, we are well positioned to capture future opportunities and deliver sustainable long‑term value for our investors,’ said Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land.

Valle Venia presents new song by LPS feat. Lara: Where will it take me

NEUSTADT AN DER WEINSTRASSE, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 27 February 2026 – The song describes the challenge of trusting the flow, relying on oneself, following one’s own values with confidence.

In a time when everything seems to begin to dissolve, when disorientation prevails more than ever and when one is searching for something to hold on to, certainty can be found in uncertainty.

Lara’s authentic interpretation, with her multi-faceted voice, conveys confidence in finding a way for oneself and others.

In the faceless, noisy crowd, where glances are not returned and touches are not felt, one is pulled away by an invisible hand.

Under the partnership structure, Green SM provides the technology platform, all-electric vehicle fleet, operational standards, and driver development system, while Taksi Komotra contributes its established local expertise and network across Bali. The collaboration integrates electric mobility technology with on-the-ground operational capabilities to deliver a scalable, governance-driven transportation model.

Operations in Bali are implemented under Green SM’s “5 Green Promises” service commitment framework. Established as a foundational operating standard since the company’s inception, the framework ensures that each ride delivers an excellent customer experience, professional drivers, high-quality and safe vehicles, fair and transparent pricing, and a meaningful contribution to environmental sustainability.

The service operates an all-electric fleet that produces no exhaust emissions or fuel combustion. All vehicles are maintained under strict technical and safety protocols to ensure consistent service performance while contributing to cleaner air and quieter urban environments.

A central pillar of the launch is the Green SM Driver ecosystem. Drivers are positioned as professional green mobility ambassadors guided by five core values: Respect, Professionalism, Dedication, Discipline, and Competitive Income with Stable Career Pathways. Structured training, transparent earnings mechanisms, and disciplined service governance aim to elevate driving into a respected profession while maintaining safety and reliability as foundational standards. This framework aligns income stability with environmental responsibility, reinforcing the role of drivers in supporting Bali’s sustainable tourism trajectory.

The launch comes amid rising mobility demand driven by tourism growth and daily transportation needs across the island. The Indonesia Tourism Outlook 2025 report notes a sustained shift toward environmentally responsible travel, underscoring the relevance of electric mobility in long-term development planning. According to projections from Indonesia’s National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), green employment nationwide is expected to reach 4.8-5.3 million by 2029, reflecting the broader economic potential of sustainable industries.

Experiencing an Authentic Chinese New Year in Chinese Gardens Around the World

NANJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2026 – Since 1980, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened “Ming Xuan” modeled after Dianchun Yi of Suzhou’s Master of the Nets Garden, Suzhou gardens have taken root in more than 30 countries and regions. As the Chinese New Year arrives, these gardens have launched Spring Festival celebrations, sharing festive joy and cultural traditions with visitors from around the world.

On Feb. 6, the China Cultural Center in Budapest hosted the “Galloping into the Spring Festival in the Garden” event. Audiences marveled at Kung Fu tea performances, where tea masters skillfully poured water from long-spouted copper kettles in graceful arcs. Artisans demonstrated traditional sugar painting and dough figurine crafting, drawing crowds of curious children, while opera performers in elaborate costumes captivated visitors with refined singing and elegant movements.

Beginning Feb. 17, the Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland launched a series of celebrations, including a ceremony to welcome the God of Wealth, a zodiac handover ceremony, lantern fairs, and dragon and lion dance performances. The garden was adorned with red lanterns and Spring Festival decorations, while Taohuawu woodblock New Year prints, silk scarves, and other cultural creative products were displayed throughout the venue. Interactive experiences such as lantern-making, Year of the Horse paper-cutting, and themed stamp-collecting sites invited visitors to take home New Year blessings.

In Vancouver, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden — North America’s first full-scale classical Suzhou-style garden — marked its upcoming 40th anniversary in 2026 with festive events on Feb. 21 and 22. Gifts from its sister garden, the Humble Administrator’s Garden, added to the celebratory atmosphere. Activities included calligraphy workshops, sugar painting demonstrations, rice cake tastings, and lion dance performances, drawing local families and visitors alike.

Kunqu opera artist Wang Yueli performed an excerpt from The Peony Pavilion and guided audience members in learning basic movements and gestures. Visitors also viewed documentaries highlighting Suzhou’s intangible cultural heritage and classical gardens, further appreciating the refined elegance of Jiangnan culture.

From Budapest to Portland, from Vancouver to Sydney, Spring Festival celebrations in Chinese gardens worldwide have integrated “gardens to be seen” “opera to be heard” and “cultural creations to be taken home.” Together, they present a vivid portrait of Suzhou culture, attracting tens of thousands of local residents and tourists to celebrate a Chinese New Year filled with Eastern charm.
