In a bid to stimulate economic recovery, Hong Kong has decided to scrap property tightening measures that were previously in place. This move comes as the city aims to revitalize its economy following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision to remove these restrictions was announced as part of the latest budget plan unveiled by Hong Kong officials. By lifting these measures, the government hopes to encourage more investment in the property market and spur economic growth.

Property tightening measures, such as higher stamp duties and stricter mortgage rules, were implemented in the past to cool down the overheated property market and prevent speculative activities. However, with the current economic climate calling for a different approach, the government has opted to reverse these policies.
