Hong Kong: at the cusp
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong equity markets have reacted well to the appointment of chief executive, Tung Chee Hwa, and further political developments are likely to affect the market positively. Corrections in global markets are likely to have a short-lived impact on Hong Kong, according to SocGen-Crosby. There should be a continued positive flow of global funds since Hong Kong's markets attract investors with their liquidity and size. Trends in China appear favorable and the US interest rate environment appears benign, with both factors helping the Hong Kong market to recover, according to SocGen-Crosby.

Hong Kong: the next boom
Article Abstract:
Morgan Stanley sees a possible business boom in Hong Kong in the three years from 1996 though risks still remain. These risks include political uncertainty and a rise in US interest rates which could affect Hong Kong's stock market. Hong Kong is closely linked to the Chinese economy. Major Hong Kong companies tend to have activities in China. China has reasons of self-interest to carry out a successful transfer of power since this would reinforce its hopes for closer links with Taiwan.

Anybody's guess
Article Abstract:
The Hang Seng index has risen in Feb and Mar 1995, but there is concern over political and economic uncertainty. It is unclear whether reforms will continue or whether central government control will be lost and reforms will be reversed. Hong Kong is also affected by problems in the real estate industry which has been hit by rises in interest rates. Inflation and other problems in mainland China and local problems affect the Hong Kong market.
