Biz Insight ome foreclosures in Hong Kong have been rising and are likely to Hpick up pace as more owners default on high-interest loans from un reg ulated lenders in a weak economy, according to specialists in distressed property. The city’s authorities don’t officially track foreclosures but data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority show that there are a growing number of homes that are worth less than the amount paid for them. The number of homes underwater reached a five-year high of 1,432 at the end of March, and the HK$4.9 billion (US$631 million) of properties concerned is the highest since the global financial crisis in 2009. At the end of December, there were just 95 cases worth HK$418 million. Non-bank finance companies have seen an increase in delin- quent loans since the fourth quarter of last year and foreclosures are also now picking up. Members of the Hong Kong Property Finance Association n o w h a v e a b o u t 10 d e l i n q u e n c i e s per 100 loans made, compared with five to six last year, and foreclosures are running at around four per 100, up from Residential buildings are seen from the Peak in Hong Kong.

like to take a walk every day after dinner. Usually I walk along Lianhua Road, toward where my old home once stood. I lived in IXingfu Village until its structures were dismantled in 2012 and moved south of Wujing Town. More than 100 people once lived in the village, working farmland of about 13.3 hectares. Two rivers were the source of life in the village. The Cherry River traversed the village. I remember farmers loudly talking with people across the river in Yingwu Village. On the south side of Xingfu Village flowed the Huangpu River. When I was little, ships sailed there, and we were always serenaded by the songs of the boatmen. The riverbanks were spots for social gath- erings. After the day’s farm work was done, villagers congregated on the sandy banks to catch fish, crab, snails and clams. We children dug up reeds that tasted a bit like sugar cane and were a favorite snack. There was only one road in the village. It started on the banks of the Huangpu River and went along to Minhang Old Street. It was a dirt road, less than two meters wide, but it was called Young farmers of Xingfu Village pose in front of the camera.
