Overseas firms buy 1% HK homes

(China Daily) Updated: 2012-11-15 11:16

Overseas companies accounted for 1 percent of total residential property transactions in the first nine months of the year, the Acting Secretary for Financial Services and Treasury Julia Leung said on Wednesday.

Leung said the recently introduced measure imposing 15 percent tax on overseas buyers of residential properties will prevent "further exuberance" in the market.
