    Falling property prices / Climate change and food security / Liverpool's Premier League victory

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we looked at Hong Kong's property prices.

    The prices of residential homes in the city have declined for the fourth consecutive month, reaching their lowest levels in nearly nine years. Experts attribute this downturn to a combination of global uncertainties as well as natural economic slowdowns.
    Data from the Ratings and Valuation Department shows the city's official price index dropped to 284.2 in March, while rents increased by 0.1 percent to 193.3. What do these trends reveal about the state of our property market?
    After the news, we learned more about climate change’s impact on coconut production and food supply in general.

    And in the last part of the show, we spoke to a local Liverpool fan about the team’s victory in the Premier League.

    Private sector pay trends / Cathay Pacific's financial performance and airport departure tax increase

    主持人:Raymond Yeung and Mike Rowse

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're delving into the latest pay trends. A recent survey of hiring managers reveals that workers can expect salary increases of up to five percent this year and this even as the government announced pay freezes for civil servants.

    Workers in IT and banking can expect to get the most generous increases, as companies in those fields seem to be the most eager to retain top talent. But will this lead more public sector employees to consider a move in the private sector?  

    In the second half of the show after the news, we’ll take a look at the financial performance of Hong Kong’s flagship airline – Cathay Pacific – and whether a planned increase to the airport departure tax could impact some segments of the aviation industry.


    9:05am-9:30am: Private sector pay trends

    9:05am-9:30am: John Mullally, Managing Director at Robert Walters Hong Kong

    9:15am-9:30am:Vera Yuen, Lecturer in Economics, HKU Business School, The University of Hong Kong
