Property Management Services Authority Conducted Exchange with the International Facility Management Association

The Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) met with representatives of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) today, including Chief Executive Officer Mr Michael V. GEARY, Director (Conferences and Events) Ms Ann LOAYZA, Director (Marketing and Communications) Mr Niels PETERS of IFMA from the USA; President Mr Don TSE, Director Mr Kenneth TSANG and Immediate Past President Ms Dora YIM of the IFMA Hong Kong Chapter. The meeting aimed to introduce the work of the PMSA and the latest development about the implementation of the property management (PM) licensing regime in Hong Kong. Both parties also exchanged views on various issues of the facility management industry, including building safety, emergency response, integrity culture, public health, and technology application, etc.

Alan Siu, Chief Executive Officer of the PMSA, said, “The year 2026 marks the significant milestone of the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the Property Management Services Ordinance (Cap. 626) and the establishment of the PMSA. Since its establishment, the PMSA has committed to promoting the professional and quality development of the PM industry. This relies on the continuous support from professional bodies in the industry, including the IFMA Hong Kong Chapter, to ensure the smooth implementation of the PM licensing regime. In the past few years, in addition to encouraging its members who are PM practitioners to apply for licences, the IFMA Hong Kong Chapter has also actively participated in various activities of the PMSA to jointly promote continuous development of the industry.”

Alan Siu added, “The PMSA expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the IFMA Hong Kong Chapter for its unwavering support for the PM licensing regime and the work of the PMSA. We will continue to work closely to encourage the industry to pursue new knowledge and enhance capabilities, actively fulfilling the mission of ‘Property Invigilators’, safeguarding the health, wealth, and safety of the public, contributing positively for the community to work and live in harmony.”

Under the licensing regime, there are now more than 830 licensed PM companies and over 15,000 licensed PM practitioners in the market, providing PM services to approximately 2.4 million units in different types of properties in Hong Kong. This major professional force not only provides professional PM services to the public, but also dedicates itself to supporting the implementation of various Government policies and helps resolve different social issues, actively contributing towards healthy and sustainable development of the community. They are undoubtedly invaluable assets and vital resources of Hong Kong.

Alan Siu will deliver keynote speech at the IFMA World Workplace Asia Pacific 2026 to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on May 7.
