九龍倉置業(01997.HK):現時環境下首要工作是開源節流
九龍倉置業(01997.HK)主席兼常務董事吳天海在網上會議上表示,由於與零售租戶之間的交易受租約保密協議所限,因此不能透露續租租金減寬,僅透露公司在上半年已作出超過10億元的租金寬免,形容不是少數目。在寫字樓方面,由於經濟出現不明朗,令空置率有上升趨勢,因此租金增速不如以往快,甚至有下調壓力,集團會密切留意情況,希望在出租率及租金上取得平衡。
至於下半年的情況則難以預測,他坦言除了租戶有困難外,業主亦有要面對的困難及開支,例如要支付利息、償還銀行債務、出糧、繳交差餉及地租等。因此,不能只單靠業主去作出紓緩措施,每個持分者都要互相去平衡情況。
他又指,現時的營商環境確是不利,但集團在香港立足多年,不會只看現時的情況,認為此地仍是良好的營商地方,會繼續在此地作投資。目前仍未看到是次疫情徹底改變香港競爭力。在現時經濟環境下,首要做的工作是開源節流,並致力發掘本地市場。
被問及集團會否有意將旗下酒店重建成寫字樓時,他指沒有此想法,因為現時各行各業都受到影響,並不知道未來發展如何,因此不會倉猝地作改變物業用途的決定。
