铺位商厦租售价跌至谷底「小巴大王」儿子马侨生：99%游客「消失」重创经济
疫市下工商铺租售价骤跌，「小巴大王」马亚木长子马侨生表示，今年以来，99%游客「消失」于无踪，重创经济，铺位商厦租售价因而跌至谷底，不过，随着疫情问题解决，市况将会迎来U型反弹。
马侨生说，过去一年，两隻黑天鹅接连来袭，反修例事件后，疫情持续爆发，罕见地「百年一遇」，狠狠打击经济。「现在，香港99%游客「消失」，实在太夸张，任何时候再差，不可能差过现在，我深信市况已见底！」
两隻黑天鹅「百年一遇」
他强调，铺位及商厦租售价已跌至谷底，部分租客更要求提前续约，锁定租金水平，他们视乎情况跟进。2014年以来，铺市经历5年调整，过去一年继续下调，跌得愈深，反弹力愈强！随着《港区国安法》落实，有效杜绝暴力示威，当疫苗一旦面世，可彻底解决疫症问题，市况将迎来反弹。
「市况见底」租客趁势续约
他续说，利好因素支撑市况，低息环境有利生意及投资，与九七年截然不同，近年摸货及短炒皆绝迹，资产未有任何泡沫。不过，中美贸易战才是真正不明朗，虽然贸易逆差向来存在，惟特朗普以此作为政治筹码，兴风作浪，问题难以得到解决。
吁放宽工商铺用家70%按揭
近期工商铺按揭放宽至高达五成，马氏指，政府可为用家放宽至七成水平。「帮助中小企做生意，方便周转，即使工厦小单位或细铺位，都自僱或有员工受僱，促进就业与民生。」
对于政府亦呼吁业主减租，与租客共渡难关，他回应，非常时间不减租不行，这是所有业主在面对的。「没有业主，哪有租客？政府亦应该伸出援手，给业主协助！」他说。
他建议政府该取消双倍印花税，现时税项由1.5%至8.5%，银码愈大税率愈高，逾2173万以上需付8.5%。「对大买卖极不公平，应该调低、兼且划一计算才合理。」
