S&P reports that Hong Kong lenders may face "more collateral pain" as the commercial property market stabilizes, with office rents projected to fall by 1% and retail by 2% in 2025. Despite signs of stabilization, S&P warns it is too early to declare a market bottom, citing ample office supply and competition. The report anticipates further declines in commercial real estate loans in 2026, although Hong Kong's banking system is expected to remain resilient even under severe collateral value discounts, thanks to reduced exposure and strong earnings. However, small banks with high exposure to non-prime properties may face vulnerabilities.

- An S&P report indicates that Hong Kong lenders will face increased collateral pain as the commercial property market shows signs of stabilization, with moderate rent declines in 2025.  
- Despite expectations of continued downturn in commercial real estate loans in 2026, S&P believes the banking system will remain resilient due to measures taken in recent years to reduce exposure and maintain solid earnings.  
- However, small banks with high exposure to non-prime properties are identified as vulnerable and require close monitoring amid the overall strength of the system.
