The local banking industry has swiftly launched two rounds of support measures for the No. 5-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, remarked Eddie Yue, Chief Executive at Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). The authorities have maintained close contact with the industry and will update the measures when necessary.

The banking sector has provided a pre-approved six-month principal and interest repayment grace period for the affected residents' mortgages. Subsequent mortgage arrangements will depend on insurance, resettlement arrangements, and legal procedures before announcing the plan.
