New World Development $0017.HK, one of Hong Kong’s leading property developers, continues to grapple with a liquidity crunch that has intensified over the past three years. On Friday, the company reported an interim net loss of up to USD 875 million, a result predominantly driven by a prolonged downturn in the real estate market and rising interest rates. This development has caught the attention of financial market analysts, who view it as a potential warning sign for broader investment risks within the property sector.
