Hong Kong's education minister, Christine Choi, is considering allowing more junior secondary pupils to use English as their medium of instruction (MOI) due to improvements in the education sector. Currently, only the top 40% of students can learn in English, but Choi suggests relaxing this threshold. However, schools will face further resource cuts in the next two years as the government tightens its budget. The existing MOI policy allows limited English instruction, and Choi is open to reviewing the criteria and duration of the MOI cycle.

The credit quality of the Hong Kong banking industry has deteriorated, with the ratio of classified loans rising to 2.01%. The Vice President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Yuang Guoheng, stated that this is mainly related to exposure in commercial real estate, emphasizing that credit risk will be monitored this year, and banks are required to classify and provision in a timely manner. Despite improvements in the overall economic environment, certain industries still face pressure, particularly the transportation and construction sectors. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority will guide banks in credit reviews to ensure that the sales processes for investment products are in place to protect investors

The number of births in Hong Kong fell to a record low of 31,100 in 2025, despite a slight population increase to 7.51 million. The Census and Statistics Department reported 50,000 deaths and a net inflow of 29,100 residents. The government attributed the population rise to talent attraction and labor importation measures. In response to declining birth rates, a "baby bonus" scheme was introduced, offering HK$20,000 to new parents, and a tax allowance of HK$130,000 for two years will be available for parents starting in the 2026-27 financial year.

- In 2025, the number of babies born in Hong Kong dropped to a record low of 31,100, while the estimated population grew by 0.1% to 7.51 million.  
- The government attributed population growth to measures such as talent attraction and labor programs, despite the significant decline in birth rates.  
- To combat low birth rates, a cash incentive plan for new parents and increased tax deductions for newborns were announced to encourage higher fertility in the coming years.

Hong Kong's retail banks experienced a 7.3% growth in pre-tax profits last year, down from 8.4% in 2024 and significantly lower than the 62% surge in 2023. Rising bad debts, particularly in commercial real estate, and a slim net interest margin of 1.52% impacted profitability. The bad debt ratio rose to 2.01%, slightly above the historical average. Despite challenges, the HKMA reported that banks remain profitable with a capital adequacy ratio of 25.1%. Total deposits increased by 11.8%, and fee income rose due to improved market sentiment and demand for wealth-management products.

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)has evolved into a hybrid market that reflects China’s economic cycle more than Hong Kong’s domestic fundamentals. Its performance is increasingly driven by mainland policy follow-through, earnings durability in platform and financial stocks, and cross-border capital flows via Stock Connect. Valuation alone is no longer a catalyst; sustained upside depends on whether policy support translates into real profit recovery and renewed confidence from long-term global investors.

The exchange rate of HKD against USD is rising rapidly. Will there still be big opportunities in Hong Kong stocks? $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $Hang Seng TECH Index(STECH.HK)

While the US stock market hovers under the shadow of tariffs, the Hong Kong stock market is experiencing a liquidity-driven structural frenzy. But is this 'Hong Kong stocks feast' the beginning of a trend revaluation, or a short-lived bubble induced by capital?From a macro perspective, the weak dollar cycle and the abundance of Hong Kong dollar liquidity are the core drivers of the Hong Kong stock market. In May, US tariff revenue surged to a peak of $22 billion, yet the CPI remained stable, coupled with the potential impact of immigration policies on the job market, the probability of a Fed rate cut in June-July is extremely low. The US stock market remains in a tug-of-war between 'chicken ribs market and downside risk.' In contrast, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has quickly slid from the strong-side guarantee to the weak-side edge, HIBOR rates are nearly zero, and the abundant liquidity is flooding into new consumption, innovative drugs, and A/H premium targets, driving both blue-chip dividend stocks and growth assets higher.However, the sustainability of the structural revaluation of Hong Kong stocks is highly dependent on the liquidity environment. The current extremely low level of HIBOR has deviated from the US benchmark interest rate. If the Fed's policy shifts or there are changes in the supply and demand of funds, a liquidity retreat could trigger a valuation correction. More critically, the structural premium of the same asset in Hong Kong stocks compared to A-shares lacks fundamental support. In a market dominated by southbound funds, caution is needed against the risk of valuation overshoot under 'capital frenzy.'In the short term, as long as the cost of borrowing in Hong Kong dollars remains low, there is still room for liquidity-driven revaluation to continue. However, in the long term, whether Hong Kong stocks can escape the 'capital market' dilemma depends on whether corporate earnings can take over liquidity as the anchor of valuation. Investors need to closely monitor changes in HIBOR rates and maintain sensitivity to risks amid the liquidity feast. $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)When the Hong Kong dollar triggers the strong-side convertibility undertaking, the Hong Kong government will be forced to issue Hong Kong dollars to buy US dollars (unless Hong Kong abandons the linked exchange rate system due to another crisis caused by excessive base money).Short-term may benefit the Hong Kong stock market.

On a weekly basis, the southbound capital flow in Hong Kong stocks was a net outflow in the past week. This is unusual, as it's the first time this has happened in at least over a year. $HSTECH ETF(03032.HK) $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $XIAOMI-W(01810.HK)

Another day protected by southbound capital! At 13:30 in the afternoon, the southbound capital suddenly surged, and the intraday chart skyrocketed after a 10-minute delay (did you day trade during these 10 minutes? 😂).Unlike yesterday, the southbound capital first rose and then fell in the morning, showing overall weakness. By 13:30, the net purchase was only 1.5 billion. After the surge, the cumulative net purchase for the day reached 5.15 billion. Compared with yesterday, I'm more convinced that there is a will behind the southbound capital.$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $BABA-W(09988.HK) $TENCENT(00700.HK)
