Investors are worried about the fallout from months of pro-democracy protests on the local economy while political uncertainties in Greece sapped appetite for risk taking at the year-end.
The Hang Seng index fell 1.1 per cent, to 23,501.10 points, posting its biggest single-day loss in two weeks. The China Enterprises Index lost 1.5 per cent, to 11,844.10 points.
