134、by the Group.The factors below set out those risks and uncertainties,which in the opinion of the Directors principally affect the Group s businesses,results of operations,financial conditions or prospects.Such factors are by no means exhaustive.There may be other risks and uncertainties which are no
135、t identified for the time being or turn out to be material in the future.(i)Economic conditions and property market in Hong Kong and the USPart of the Group s revenue and operating profit are derived from the leasing of the properties in Hong Kong.The Group also shares results of the Mission Street
136、Group which owns a property in San Francisco,the US.As a result,the performance of the Group is currently susceptible to the economic conditions in Hong Kong,and the US,particularly the performance of the property market.Any adverse changes in the social,political,economic and legal environments in
137、the relevant markets,unfavorable government policies on the property market,increase in supply of properties,global financial crisis or interest rate hikes may adversely affect the relevant property market.These are beyond the control of the Group and,may adversely affect the revenue and profitabili
138、ty of the Group and thus the value of the Group s properties.(ii)Business partnersThe leasing and management of the units and car parking spaces in Regent Centre are conducted by independent service providers under close supervision of the Group s management.However,there can be no assurance on the
139、performance of the leasing agent.Any unsatisfactory performance of the leasing agent may potentially lead to drop in property occupancy and passing rent,chances of improper property maintenance and/or repairs of damaged property facilities and increased tenant dissatisfaction,resulting in an adverse
140、 impact on revenue and profitability of the Group and thus the value of Regent Centre.In addition,our business partners may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Group,take action contrary to the Group s policies and objectives,be unable or unwilling to
141、 fulfil their contractual obligations or cease to provide services out of their own accord.These may result in an adverse impact on the Group s businesses,results of operations,financial conditions or prospects.(iii)Financial resources to fund property acquisitionsProperty development and property i
142、nvestment are capital intensive.The Group s ability to obtain funding for property acquisition and development is dependent on a number of factors such as general economic conditions,the Group s financial performance,willingness of banks to lend and/or investors to invest and monetary policies in Ho
143、ng Kong and the US,which are predominately beyond the control of the Group.As a result,there can be no assurance that the Group will obtain funding from the capital or debt markets on commercially reasonable terms or at all.This may potentially lead to increased funding costs and perhaps an inabilit
144、y to capitalise on potential investment opportunities.(iv)Staff continuityThe operation of the Group will continue to be dependent on the services of its employees.Competition for skilled and experienced workforce is intense in the property industry.Any significant staff turnover with no suitable re
145、placements being identified in a timely manner may cause disruption to the Group s businesses.The ability of the Group to expand may also be hindered if the Group is unable to identify,hire,train and retain suitably skilled and qualified employees for its businesses.VANKE OVERSEAS INVESTMENT HOLDING

175、nging unprecedented challenges to the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,with the cancellation of most of the remaining anti-COVID measures in Hong Kong,the full reopening of the China-Hong Kong border,resumption of travel between Hong Kong and the rest of the world,we believe that year
176、2023 will be full of hopes of normalisation.Yet,the challenges like rising interest rates,global geopolitical tension,and potential global recession may add hardship to many businesses of all sizes and across all industries including the property market.Despite these challenges,the Group will use it
177、s best endeavors to explore investment opportunities in the property markets in 2023 and continues to leverage on the network of VPHK and its subsidiaries to penetrate into the global market with a view to expanding its customer base both locally and overseas.On the positive note,we are cautiously o

179、n other real estate markets in the world,which have good development and investment potential with the objective of being open-minded about new opportunities for growth and expansion of the Group s business and value creation for its shareholders as a whole.The Group s investment property in Hong Ko
180、ng,Regent Centre,is expected to maintain the occupancy rate and passing rent in 2023.The Group s Investment Instruments are expected to generate less revenue and profit in 2023 due to the collection of principals on the Investment Instruments during the year which lead to the decrease in the amounts
