According RLB’s latest quarterly report, tender
prices in Hong Kong have stabilized after the
rapid fall between the 3rdQ of 2008
continue to rise in the 4thQ of 2009
Looking forward, the rising trend of tender
prices throughout 2010
With infrastructure projects moving, the return of
inflation and the increased activities in the
property market, tender prices in Hong Kong are
expected to rise more significantly in the second
half of the year
