1 Market Analysis Macro-Economic Highlights Hong Kong s economic status in the first half of 2017 has remained stable with a GDP growth of (+) 4.3%, demonstrating current market resilience and prolonged performance from Q4 of 2016. However, the impact of declining tourism since mid-2015 is still being felt and is having an overall residual effect despite GDP growth Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ), and more notably Year-on-Year (YOY). Q1 and Q2 figures from 2017 also suggest there is no current volatility in the market hinting at potential private sector sentiment in the second half of the year around property purchasing, which aligns well with the decrease in inflation to 0.8%. Construction Costs Material prices have seen a general increase across core construction products with steel continuing its mild rise from Q4 2016, but cement and general architectural products have shown stability. Diesel has been consistent over the past five years providing a reasonable level of stability and cost certainty. The Labour Wage Index (LWI) continues to rise steadily across Hong Kong with public sector construction labour showing a YoY movement of 5.5%. This continued alignment reflects an anticipated rise as the construction industry is working hard to attract and retain a younger skilled workforce. It s also noteworthy that this rise is aligning construction wages with the general Hong Kong indices and doesn t present an overall destabilization. Supply and Demand Private sector consent rates do not indicate any clear signs of deviation and remain stable with a small off-shoot of growth in the first half of 2017, cumulating in a level of private investor confidence. The 12-month average in private commenced projects still remains historically high, but there is a slight movement off-peak that needs to be considered. 2016 saw a stable level of completed projects which is expected to continue in 2017 with no sign of deviation with private sector projects being the main driver for stability. Hong Kong Outlook Hong Kong can expect to see the overall inflation rate pressure soften and help contractors and developers determine cost certainty, removing assumption around pricing to enable a greater steer around project profit and stabilization of a medium term, low risk environment. Public sector projects are seeing a decline throughout the consent, commencement and completion of floor space approvals due to a slowing of legislative authorization, creating greater levels of competitiveness amongst contractors. There is also a dimming in confidence despite some contract approval as there is an expected lag in feeling the financial impact until after the planning section is completed. Comparatively, the private building floor rates are stable and showing above average performance in consent and completed projects, with commenced projects showing strong performance in comparison over the last decade. Importantly, the Tender Price Index (TPI) is showing a relative medium term stability as it continues the flattening out that has been experienced over the last two years. However, the TPI has experienced a slight (-) 0.55 % decrease QoQ with a further expected movement of up to (-) 2% for the remainder of 2017 but this is not expected to create any major fluctuation with an anticipated further flattening in 2018. 2

1 Market Analysis China Outlook After a rebound in Q4 of 2016, Q1 2017 has seen the major material prices rise sharply at a rate of around 20%. In contrast there is a mild increase in the cost of concrete and copper at around 5%. Labour wage has also been increased by 3.6%. The implentation of government policies to tighten property transaction and mortgages have been extented to 40 cities in mainland China since October 2016 despite the govement increasing the supply in both residential and commerical land. The Top 5 cities of residential land turnover area are Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Wuhan, Xian and Chongqing (according to statistics of the China Index Academy), which are all located in the middle-west area of mainland China. These policies may increase construction output in future. On the other hand, according to Belt and Road initiative, Chinese investors and contractors have been pushed hard to look outside of China. It is anticipated that construction activities along the Belt and Road routes will increase, creating the stimulus in the demand for construction material. It is foreseen that the demand for construction materials may increase due to current strong competition within the construction market, which is also paired with a low inflation rate of 1.5% p.a. The construction market price level is anticipated to rise slightly throughout the remainder of 2017. 3

To give an illustration of the price trend over time, Arcadis applies a hypothetical calculation to derive the data table and chart as above, basing on the following understanding and assumptions: 1. Only indices from 1st Quarter 2003 and onwards are published. 2. For 2002 and before, indices were only published annually. This annual index indicates that the average fluctuation of 2002 was moderate. Arcadis own in-house data further substantiates that the construction costs in 2002 were rather stable throughout the year. 3. Changes between quarters in 2002 are assumed to be evenly distributed throughout the year. This establishes a notional relationship between the four quarters in 2002 and can be compared with the published data for 2003 to find their notional quarter-on-quarter changes. 4. For comparison purposes, 4th Quarter 2002 is referred to as base and the base index as 100. 5
