Messi posted, and Huo Qigang responded again
On the evening of February 7, Argentine star Messi posted on Weibo in response to the absence of the Hong Kong game, saying that he regretted that he could not play the first friendly match in Hong Kong because of a groin injury, and hoped to have the opportunity to come back in the future and dedicate himself to the game for fans and friends in Hong Kong.
Messi said, "As I said at the press conference earlier, I regret that I couldn't play the friendly match in Hong Kong because of a groin injury, my injury is swollen and painful. Friends who know me know that I want to give my all in every game, especially when I'm travelling so far with my team-mates and the fans are looking forward to seeing us fit fit. ”
As of press time, the topic of Messi's blog response rushed to the top of Weibo's hot search, with more than 300 million views. And the latest news shows that Messi has played in Japan. On the evening of February 7, Beijing time, the Miami International team and the Kobe Victory team played an exhibition match in Tokyo, Japan, and the much-watched Messi came off the bench in the game. It is worth mentioning that in the pre-match training on the evening of the 6th, Messi participated in the confrontation training with the ball, which was only 2 days apart from the Hong Kong exhibition match.
On the evening of February 7, Huo Qigang issued a long post in response to the incident, saying that Miami International's performance in Japan is to rub salt in the wounds of Hong Kong fans, and it must not stop there. Fok Qigang said, "I support the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region**'s approach, although the current Tatler has given up applying for a ** subsidy of 16 million Hong Kong dollars, it does not mean that this ball game does not involve the public interest." So far, the Consumer Council has received hundreds of complaints, and the number is still rising. The current scene of the Hong Kong ball game is detrimental to Hong Kong's image. There is a significant public interest involved in this incident, and I will continue to follow up on the matter in the hope of getting an answer. ”
Previously, on February 4, the Miami International team played a friendly match with the Hong Kong team at the Hong Kong Stadium, and about 40,000 fans poured into the Hong Kong Stadium that day, most of them for Messi. However, Messi did not appear in the game that day and refused to accept the award after the game, causing strong dissatisfaction among fans and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
Subsequently, the Vice President of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, Fok Kai-kong, expressed his disappointment with the arrangement of the organiser Tatler, and believed that Tatler and the Miami International Team needed to apologize and explain to the whole Hong Kong public. Fok Qigang said that although Messi was unable to play, the team did not increase interaction with the public in other ways to respond to and meet the expectations and support of the public, and the attitude towards the fans and Hong Kong citizens was unacceptable.
On February 6, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee said that he was extremely disappointed that Messi failed to participate as the public expected, and the SAR still asked the organizers to do a good job of explaining the incident. The HKSAR** will urge the organisers to actively respond to the demands of fans who have purchased tickets and give a detailed account of the incident. On the same day, Huo Qigang once again posted on his personal Weibo, "The careful arrangements we prepared for the arrival of the team were trampled on, which is regrettable." Fok Qigang expressed the hope that the organizer Tatler can consider a suitable plan to give fans, tourists and Hong Kong citizens a reasonable explanation and show due respect.
Moody's downgraded New York Community Bank to "junk".
On the evening of February 6, local time, the New York Community Bank in the United States, which was in trouble due to the "thunderstorm", suffered another major blow: the international rating agency Moody's announced that the credit rating of the New York Community Bank was downgraded to "junk level" due to concerns about the "challenges" that the bank is currently facing. The credit rating downgrade is likely to further increase the bank's borrowing costs. On February 6, the stock price of New York Community Bank fell 22% again.
Moody's said the bank could be downgraded again if its credit performance deteriorates further, fails to strengthen its capitalization or challenges the bank's liquidity due to a loss of depositor confidence.
Last week, the New York Community Bank suddenly "exploded", and the company's financial report for the fourth quarter of 2023 showed a loss of up to 2$5.2 billion, far exceeding market expectations of earnings20.6 billion US dollars. In addition, the bank disclosed 5Provision for loan losses of $5.2 billion and a reduction in dividend to 5 cents per share from 17 cents.
Thomas Kanjimi, CEO of the New York Community Bank, said the bank's poor quarterly performance was due to the acquisition of nearly $40 billion in assets, including $13 billion worth of loans, from the now-bankrupt Signature Bank. "Signature Bank" was one of the regional banks that failed during last year's crisis.
The deal to buy Signature Bank brings the total assets of New York Community Bank to more than $100 billion, but it is subject to stricter prudential standards, including risk- and leverage-based capital requirements, liquidity standards, overall risk management and stress testing requirements, Kanjimi said. With this in mind, the bank took action in the fourth quarter of 2023 to strengthen its risk management processes and strengthen capital to support its balance sheet balance.
After the disclosure of the above financial report, the stock price of the New York Community Bank opened the ** mode, and fell 3767%, down 11% on February 1, after **5% on February 2, it fell by more than 10% on February 5, and fell 22% on February 622%。In other words, the New York Community Bank's market capitalization shrank from $7.5 billion to $3 billion in 5 trading days,** by nearly 60%.
According to Industrial Research, judging from the current non-performing rate of commercial real estate loans in the United States other than farms, there has been an upward trend recently, with 1The absolute level of 07% of non-performing is not as high as it was at the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, but it is close to the peak of the epidemic in 2020 (113%）。If we compare the changes in the non-performing ratio of commercial real estate during the initial period of the subprime mortgage crisis, the credit risk of commercial real estate in the United States may still be relatively controllable in the short term, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, it may lead to a rapid increase in the credit risk of related assets in the medium and long term after six months. In addition to New York community banks, M&T Bank, Citizen Finance and regional banks in the U.S. have a relatively high proportion of commercial real estate loans among mid-sized U.S. banks, and if the risks continue to evolve, it is worth further attention.
