Hong Kong Finance publishes 2026 annual report

• Hong Kong Finance Group annual report flagged a stronger year as loan-book expansion lifted interest income, supported by a stabilizing macro backdrop.
• Credit costs fell as asset quality improved, helped by firmer collateral values amid a recovery in Hong Kong’s residential property market.
• Secured property mortgage lending stayed the main earnings driver, while unsecured property owner lending remained a smaller, diversification segment.
• Net interest margin widened as borrowing costs eased, reflecting lower interest expense and reduced average utilization of borrowings.
• Management maintained a cautious growth stance, tightening underwriting, keeping conservative LTVs, monitoring borrowers, and recalling higher-risk facilities.
