Business Prospect

The economy of Hong Kong in 2022 was dampened by the severe fifth wave of the COVID-19 outbreak starting in late 2021 and further by the deteriorated external environment and tightened financial conditions, including but not limited to the increase in interest rates and supply chain bottlenecks. In spite of the removal of strict COVID-19 restrictions in Hong Kong recently, the Group still expects to encounter great challenges in the short term. However, as supported by the 2022 policy address of Hong Kong, the Government of the HKSAR will develop land resources in a persistent manner to satisfy the housing demand. Therefore, the Group expects that the business of the Group will remain stable in the fitting-out industry in Hong Kong in the long term.

The Group will adjust its business strategies as needed to ensure corporate sustainability.
