Market Chatter: Mainland Buyers Snap Up Properties in Hong Kong as Yuan Appreciates

MT Newswires Live03-12

Chinese mainland homebuyers bought HK$28.2 billion worth of properties in Hong Kong during the first two months of the year, a rise of 136% year on year, The Standard reported Wednesday, citing a report from Morgan Stanley.

According to the bank, a total of 2,600 flats were sold to mainland buyers during the opening months of 2026, a growth of 91% year on year.

The rising sales were thanks to the appreciation in the yuan, which was nearly 7% higher from a year earlier at the end of February.
