香港已成为中国内地有钱人青睐的保有资本的地方。自2011年初以来，与美元挂钩的港元对人民币汇率已下跌6%，同时抵押贷款利率处于历史低点。

The government says non-local buyers bought almost a fifth of all new properties last year, compared with 5.7 per cent in 2010. Chan Ka-keung, secretary for financial services and the treasury, on Sunday said there were signs that measures were having an effect. Anecdotal reports indicate that the number of mainland Chinese buyers fell drastically at the weekend.

香港政府表示，去年非本地购买者购买了几乎五分之一的新建物业，而2010年这一比例仅有5.7%。香港财经事务及库务局局长陈家强周日表示，有迹象表明相关政策正在奏效。坊间消息称，中国内地购房者数量周末大幅减少。

Anthony Cheung, secretary for transport and housing, on Sunday warned of similar measures in the commercial property sector if it was targeted by speculators.

香港运输及房屋局局长张炳良周日警告说，如果商业地产领域成为投机者的目标，港府将对这一领域也采取类似措施。

In his election campaign, Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong’s chief executive, pledged to make housing affordable and promised to intervene if necessary.

香港特首梁振英在竞选期间曾保证平抑楼价，并誓言在必要时采取干预措施。
