Hong Kong property tycoon David Chiu Tat-cheong, chairman of Far East Consortium, is urging a cautious approach to Hong Kong's development given global economic uncertainties. Speaking in Beijing at the "two sessions" political meetings, Chiu suggested prioritizing stability over accelerating projects like the Northern Metropolis. He cited potential disruptions from geopolitical events, such as US military actions and attacks on Iran, impacting supply chains and potentially influencing US interest rate policies, which could affect Hong Kong. Chiu expressed concern that the new land disposal approach for the Northern Metropolis, requiring developers to manage multiple projects, might exclude smaller companies. He emphasized that businesses and the Hong Kong government have limited control over the global situation and should avoid moving too quickly in a volatile environment.
