Julia Leung, SFC CEO: “This acquisition is cost saving in the long run as the SFC invests in its own assets and eliminates rental expenses. Becoming the owner of the leased office space would spare us the hassle of further office relocation, minimise disruption to our operation and in line with the best practice of an environmentally conscious organisation.”
Notes:
- The SFC has set aside $3.4 billion of its reserves specifically for purchase of permanent office premises. The purchase will be funded by $2.7 billion of that amount and the rest by external borrowing.
- The SFC currently occupies as a tenant levels 45 to 48 and levels 50 to 54 of OIE. Under the sale and purchase agreements, acquisition of the three additional floors – levels 42 to 44 – will be completed between 2026 and 2028.
- The SFC underwent four office relocations since it was established in 1989.
