譚文豪茶記「一日三餐」不敵加租下月底結業 食客嘆「俾地產霸權玩晒」
“Three Meals a Day”, a Mong Kok cha chaan teng co-founded by former Civic Party Legislative Council member Tam Man-ho, has announced that it will close on 30 September. In a post on social media last night, “Three Meals a Day” said it had reluctantly decided to close because of factors including continuously rising ingredient prices, pressure from rent increases and an ongoing staff shortage. The Independent Media visited the restaurant at noon today and found a long queue still outside. One diner lamented: “No matter how hard you work, no matter how many people queue up, once the rent goes up you have to leave. Hong Kong has completely been played by property hegemony.”

商界冬眠｜香港PMI年內首次跌穿50 標普：私企疫後重啟增長動力似耗盡
Former Liberal Party chairman James Tien recently told the media that the term “winter hibernation” has become popular in business circles, referring to taking a wait-and-see approach to the future and temporarily refraining from making major investments. The latest Hong Kong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data released by S&P Global showed a reading of just 49.4 in July, falling below the 50 “boom-and-bust line” for the first time this year and reaching its lowest level since November 2022. Pan Jingyi, deputy director of S&P Global’s economics research department, said that the growth momentum from Hong Kong’s private enterprises restarting after the pandemic “appeared to have been exhausted into the second half of 2023”.
前自由黨主席田北俊日前向傳媒稱，商界近日流行一個用語「冬眠」，指對後市觀望，暫時不敢大舉投資。標普全球最新公布香港採購經理指數（PMI）數據顯示，7月僅得49.4，今年首次跌穿50的「枯榮線」關口，創2022年11月以來新低。標普全球經濟研究部副總監潘婧怡指，香港私企在疫情後重啟的增長動力，似乎在2023年下半年初耗盡（The boost from reopening after the pandemic “appeared to have been exhausted into the second half of 2023”）。
