Comment

• Per our view, the pessimism and risk off attitude will continue and be more serious next year due to interest rate continue to hike; land price continue to collapse; developer who need cash will liquidate their asset and inventory; investor and home buyer will be reluctant to hold their asset due to higher interest expenses when interest grace period end; global economy come into recession, affect the income.

We remain Neutral for residential property sector.
