The Group recorded a consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders for the year, before taking into account the effects of the increase in fair value of investment properties, of HK$5,396 million, an increase of 61% compared with the HK$3,345 million reported for 2018. Profit attributable to shareholders for the year, after taking into account the effects of the increase in fair value of investment properties, was HK$6,897 million (2018: HK$7,499 million). Earnings per share for the year were HK$4.74, down 8% compared with HK$5.16 per share as recorded in 2018. The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK$0.95 per share for the year. Together with the interim dividend of HK$0.40 per share, the total cash dividend for the year will amount to HK$1.35 per share (2018: HK$1.35 per share). Laying a Firm Foundation for the Future In 2019, global economic activity was adversely affected by escalating trade disagreements and geopolitical tensions. Taking these into account, the Chinese Central Government has introduced measures to steadily realign and improve the country’s industrial structure. China is also committed to enhancing productivity and the quality of growth in an orderly manner. These measures have helped deliver reasonably stable economic growth for the past year.
