Hong Kong unveils bid-rigging crackdown and building renovation reforms after Tai Po fire
Hong Kong authorities announced reforms following the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire inquiry, including criminalising bid-rigging in building maintenance, amending the Competition Ordinance and Buildings Ordinance, and creating a government-backed company to support owners' renovations. The Hong Kong Bar Association called for clearer criminal thresholds and whistle-blower immunity rules, and an AI system is planned to screen contractors by mid-2027.
