“The decline of ANZ-Roy Morgan Hong Kong Consumer Confidence is expected, given the poor performance of the stock market. People tend to be increasingly pessimistic about their own financial condition as well as the economic outlook.

"The US Fed is about to increase interest rate in December, indicating a shift of monetary policy regime. Such a change will have a significant implication on global asset prices including Hong Kong’s property prices. Any negative wealth effect may affect domestic consumer confidence subsequently. This is a risk the policymakers need to be aware of.”
