    2026 property market outlook / Kai Tak Cruise Terminal tender

    On Friday's programme, we talked to experts on Hong Kong's property market outlook in 2026. According to the latest official figures, home prices rose nearly 2.8 percent in the first 11 months of 2025. Are we expecting a continued recovery this year? And will prices continue to rise? We found out.

    After the break, we talked to the Commissioner for Tourism and a scholar about the future of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. The government recently launched an open tender for a ten-year tenancy to operate and manage the terminal, after the agreement with the current operator expires in May 2028.

    Hong Kong's first hydrogen charging station / Master's programmes fee hike

    Presenters:Brian Wong and John Bruce

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we found out more about the potential to develop hydrogen energy in Hong Kong.
    That's after Towngas recently established a partnership with Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks to develop the city's first electric vehicle charging system using purely hydrogen.
    The system in Science Park is expected to start operating in the second quarter of next year. We talked to representatives from both Towngas and the Science Park to learn more about the project, and whether hydrogen is indeed a viable energy source in the SAR.

    After the break, we switched gears and looked at rising tuition charges for master's programmes at local universities. Fees have increased quite substantially in recent years, raising concerns about affordability for local students.

    9:05am-9:30am: Hong Kong's first hydrogen charging station
    Speakers:
    Filla Mak, Chief Operations Officer of Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks
    Don Cheng, Chief Operating Officer of Hong Kong Business at Towngas

    9:32am-10:00am: Tuition fee hikes
    Speakers:
