3 COST COMMENTARY REVIEW OF TENDER PRICE MOVEMENTS IN HONG KONG According to Rider Levett Bucknall s Tender Price Index, which measures tender price movements of builder s works in the private sector in Hong Kong, the tender prices remain steady in the first quarter of On a year-on-year basis, the increase was 2.2%. The following are the first quarter year-on-year tender price movements of builder s works in the private sector in the past five years: % +7.5% +10.0% +6.4% +2.2% Disclaimer: While the information in this publication is believed to be correct at the time of publishing, no responsibility is accepted for its accuracy. Persons desiring to utilize any information appearing in the publication should verify its applicability to their specific circumstances. Cost information in this publication is indicative and for general guidance only and is based on rates at 1st Quarter Hong Kong s economic growth continued to slow down and only grew moderately by 0.8% year-onyear in real terms in the first quarter of 2016, compared with the 1.9% increase in the fourth quarter of On a seasonally adjusted quarter-to-quarter comparison basis, real GDP decreased by 0.4% in the first quarter of 2016 over the fourth quarter of According to the Composite Consumer Price Index, overall consumer prices rose by 2.6% in May 2016 over the same month a year earlier, lower than the corresponding increase (2.7%) in April The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and underemployment rate stood at 3.4% and 1.4% respectively in February 2016 to April 2016, same as those in January to March The rising trend of tender prices in Hong Kong since 2009 has come to an end. The overall increase in tender prices from the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2016 was about 57%. With a slowdown in the local economy and the gradual completion of major infrastructure works in recent months, Hong Kong s construction industry is now facing some uncertainties ahead, resulting in competitive bidding by some contractors in a number of projects in the public and private sectors. However, the government is still maintaining its land sale programme and developers have not refrained from bidding for land. The government s planned annual expenditure in capital works including housing, hospitals and infrastructure in the coming years will unlikely be less than that in the past few years. Therefore, a substantial decline in tender prices in the coming months is unlikely and it is forecast that tender prices will move moderately within a narrow range in the second half of Macau According to the Statistics and Census Service of the Macau government, Gross Domestic Product for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by 13.3% year-on-year in real terms. The unemployment rate for February 2016 to April 2016 stood at 1.9%, same as that in January to March The average daily wage of construction workers was MOP779 in the first quarter of 2016, decreased by 1.8% on a quarter-to-quarter basis. The average daily wages of skilled and semi-skilled workers decreased by 1.4% to MOP787 and that of unskilled workers decreased by 0.3% to MOP392. The construction industry in Macau has been relying heavily on the development of major gaming resorts in the past ten years. With the rapid decrease in gaming revenues, future investment in the construction of gaming resorts and hotels has almost stopped. Macau s construction works will be transformed from the gaming sector to non-gaming sectors such as infrastructure and social projects. With less construction activities in the coming months, it is expected that tender prices in Macau will continue to fall gradually towards the end of this year.
