The occupancy rate has decreased slightly from 96.9% in the previous quarter to 95.5%, primarily due to a decline in occupancy at MBC and properties in China.  Although Festival Walk's performance remains sluggish and has high negative rental reversion, the reopening of borders between Hong Kong and China on 8 January is anticipated to improve its performance in the upcoming quarters.
