The new Policy Address mentions the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)'s further relaxation of maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) and the re-introduction of the “Principal Payment Holiday” support measures for SMEs, which are believed to help banks manage asset quality risks on relevant segments more flexibly and will have a positive impact on Hong Kong's banking sector, JPMorgan issued a research report saying.

Among Hong Kong banks, JPMorgan preferred BOC HONG KONG (02388.HK) and DAHSING BANKING (02356.HK) as its top picks for their better underlying profit growth.
