Hong Kong's MTR Corporation is in the process of significantly altering its business model to meet a financial commitment of HK$165 billion for rail service improvements.
The company is moving away from its traditional "rail-plus-property" approach, seeking new revenue streams while implementing cost-cutting measures.
Amid ongoing pressure from a weak property market and governmental financial constraints, MTR Corp is considering measures such as selling minority stakes in its commercial properties.
The financial outlook is challenging, with projections of a HK$100 billion deficit for the government, which holds a 75% stake in MTR Corp.
Plans to expand rail services include a potential doubling of the network, focusing on upcoming projects like the Tung Chung line extension and the Northern Link.
