Money Talk

The private sector in Hong Kong continued to expand last month but at a slower pace. The IHS Markit Hong Kong PMI was at 51.3 in July, little changed from 51.4 a month earlier. This was the sixth straight month of growth in the private sector, as the COVID-19 pandemic was under control, with both output and new orders expanding for the fourth straight month.

Growth in China's services sector accelerated in July, a private survey showed on Wednesday, but the spread of the Covid-19 Delta variant across the country threatens to undercut the recovery. The Caixin Services PMI came in at 54.9 last month, compared to expectations of 50.5, and the previous month’s reading of 50.3.

On today’s Money Talk, we’re joined by Andrew Freris of Ecognosis Advisory and Carlos Casanova from Union Bancaire Privée. With a view from Taiwan is Ross Feingold at SafePro Group.

Backchat

On Thursday's Backchat, possible development in the wetland; and red tides. Your hosts will be Jim Gould and Jenny Lam.

The government said on Monday that it would consider loosening restrictions on development around wetland areas.

Secretary for Development, Michael Wong, said wetland buffer areas, as they are known, are not necessarily "off-limits" and their development potential has to be considered.

But the statement draw a backlash from environmentalists. Green groups said allowing higher-density development would affect the whole wetland habitat, as fishponds and wetlands usually provide food and habitat to migratory birds.

What do you think? Would this be a way to provide much needed new housing? Would the environmental cost be too great?

From 9:15am-9:30am, we'll be discussing the increasing number of red tides phenomenon in Hong Kong.

Let us know your thoughts. You can leave a message on our Facebook page, Backchat on RTHK Radio 3, email us at backchat@rthk.hk or give us a call on 23388266.

A Sentimental Journey

Take a trip back in time with Peter King through the midnight hour of “Pete's Magical Mystery Tour” here on Radio 3. Stay with Peter after 12 for an hour of music from a different era. An era of the big bands, classic ballads, wonderful cinema, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Glenn Miller, and some of the greatest love stories ever told in music. Between 12 and 1 every Tuesday to Saturday morning enjoy a ‘Sentimental Journey’ with Peter King, here… on Radio 3.

R3 new evening line-up

With the retirement of Uncle Ray Cordeiro, Radio 3 has a new evening line-up of programmes, starting from May 17. Long-standing presenter Peter King moves from his mid-evening show to the late-night hours with Pete’s Magical Mystery Tour. The style of music will be similar to that already enjoyed by listeners, with hits from the sixties and seventies in the first hour, followed by more of a nostalgia feel as midnight approaches, and golden oldies in the final hour’s sentimental journey. (Mon – Fri 10pm – 1am)

From 7pm to 9pm every weekday evening you can listen in to another of Radio 3’s long-established DJs, Simon Willson, bringing you the best in international music. Simon will also continue to host his live show on Sunday afternoons. (Mon – Fri, 7pm -- 9pm; Sundays, 1.10pm – 4pm)
