Hong Kong retail sees positive momentum amidst policy relaxation: report

This year reflected a significant uptick compared to the previous year with a $2b weekly run rate.

First hand sales across Hong Kong’s retail sector amounted to above $10b in the first week and have maintained this level by the second week since policy relaxation, according to Jefferies Equity Research.

According to the report, the launch of Seasons Place with its first batch of 368 units at 100% sell-through, equivalent to $2.4b contracted sales, sets the sector’s strong momentum to come.
