Stamp Duty Relief For Hong Kong Foreigners. But Wait …
- Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will deliver his inaugural policy address on the 19 October, where he is expected to announce a number of “ground-breaking” measures.
- One such measure is non-residents who have owned property in Hong Kong for 3+ years may get their extra stamp duty refunded – if they take up permanent residency.
- Secondary home prices have declined 8% year-to-date, and are approaching a five-year low. Goldman Sachs expects home prices to decline 30% in 2023 from last year’s levels.
China VAST: Pre-Condition Fulfilled for the China Jinmao Offer
- China Vast Industrial Urban Development (6166 HK) announced that all the pre-conditions were fulfilled. China Jinmao Holdings (817 HK)’s offer is HK$2.40 per share.
- The key condition is approval by at least 75% of disinterested shareholders (<10% of disinterested shareholders rejection). Shareholders with blocking stakes will be supportive.
- The offer is light, but the headcount test is not applicable. At last close and for a year-end payment, the gross and annualised spread is 0.8% and 4.0%, respectively.
SZSE1000 Index Rebalance Preview: Stock Connect & MSCI/FTSE Eligibility
- Nearing the end of the review period for the SZSE1000 Index, we estimate around 50 changes to the index. The first-order impact on the stocks is not large.
- Stocks that are not currently in Buy/Sell Stock Connect will be added to the list. That makes them eligible for inclusion in the MSCI and FTSE indices in February/March.
- 5 of the potential adds could be added to the MSCI China Index in February and 34 of the potential adds could be added to the FTSE All-World/All-Cap in March.
