Quick Glance: Effect of Lifting Restrictions on Hong Kong Home Prices
- In March, Hong Kong saw an increase in home prices for the first time in almost a year following the lifting of property restrictions, leading to a revival in sales.
- The price index for private domestic homes rose by 1.06% from the previous month of February, breaking a 10-month declining trend.
- However, analysts express doubts about the sustainability of this growth as developers work to reduce excess inventory amid high borrowing costs impacting demand.
- The anticipation of prolonged higher interest rates is expected to exert further pressure on the market, potentially causing home prices to decline by an additional 5% to 10% this year if the Federal Reserve's rate adjustments fall short of expectations.

Quick Glance: Hong Kong Real Estate Market: Price Recovery in March
- In March, Hong Kong's real estate market saw a price recovery after the financial city lifted restrictions to boost the ailing market.
- Prices dropped by 1.8% in the first quarter, following a 20% decline from their 2021 peak due to higher mortgage rates and a weak market outlook.
- Nevertheless, prices are expected to remain subdued as property developers rushed to introduce new sales with discounts of up to 30%, attracting buying interest from the secondary market.
- A recent report by real estate agency Ricacorp revealed that 30% of transactions for second-hand homes were sold at a loss in the first quarter, with this trend likely continuing into the second quarter.

Quick Glance: New Global Record: Electric and Hybrid Car Sales Surge in 2024
- Electric and plug-in hybrid car sales will reach a new global record in 2024 despite slowing growth in some markets, according to forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
- The IEA predicted that 17 million battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will be sold in 2024, up over 20% from 2023.
- The IEA also mentioned that most electric cars are expected to be priced equivalently to petrol cars by 2030 as prices decrease. Tesla recently reduced prices to maintain its market share against strong competition from Chinese rivals like BYD, the world's largest battery electric car producer.
