The aggregate value of RMLs in negative equity increased to HK$66,252 million at end-December 2022 compared with HK$3,006 million at end-September 2022.

Residential mortgage loans in negative equity: End of December 2022

31st Jan 2023 – The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced today (31 January) the results of its survey on residential mortgage loans (RMLs) in negative equity at end-December 2022.

The estimated number of RMLs in negative equity increased to 12,164 cases at end-December 2022 from 533 cases at end-September 2022. These cases were related to bank staff housing loans or RMLs under mortgage insurance programme, which generally have a higher loan-to-value ratio.

The aggregate value of RMLs in negative equity increased to HK$66,252 million at end-December 2022 compared with HK$3,006 million at end-September 2022.

The unsecured portion of these loans increased to HK$2,517 million at end-December 2022 from HK$59 million at end-September 2022.

Since the first quarter of 2011, there have been no RMLs in negative equity with delinquencies of more than three months.

It is important to note that the figures derived from this survey relate only to RMLs provided by authorized institutions on the basis of first mortgages and which the reporting institution knows to be in negative equity (i.e. the outstanding loan amount with the reporting institution exceeds the current market value of the mortgaged property). Not included in these figures are RMLs associated with co-financing schemes which would be in negative equity if the second mortgages were taken into account. The extent to which such RMLs are in negative equity is not known because authorized institutions do not maintain records on the outstanding balances of the second mortgages.

The mortgage portfolios of the surveyed authorized institutions represent about 99% of the industry total. The survey results have been extrapolated to estimate the position of the banking sector as a whole.
