Panel 3: Filling the Funding Gap: Private Capital in Hong Kong’s Commercial Property Sector
With banks increasingly taking a conservative posture in the face of commercial property defaults and analyst scrutiny over their loan books, private capital is stepping in to plug the growing funding gap in Hong Kong. An array of debt and equity funds, institutional investors, and family office capital has been pursuing a range of financing opportunities, from refinancing to construction loans and the acquisition of foreclosed properties. Hear about the market landscape and opportunities that investors see in the Hong Kong credit market and how these compare to debt and equity opportunities elsewhere.
