Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Effect of Lifting Restrictions on Hong Kong Home Prices
- In March, Hong Kong saw an increase in home prices for the first time in almost a year following the lifting of property restrictions, leading to a revival in sales.
- The price index for private domestic homes rose by 1.06% from the previous month of February, breaking a 10-month declining trend.
