Hong Kong stocks fell on Monday amid a slowdown in China's consumer spending growth and property investment, resulting in a dampened investor sentiment.

The Hang Seng Index fell 0.88%, or 175.75 points, to close at 19,795.49. The Hang Seng China Enterprises index also lost 0.75%, or 53.9 points, to end the session at 7,132.69.

China's retail sales rose 3% year over year in November, missing a 4.6% forecast by economists polled by Reuters, according to a CNBC report.

The growth was also substantially lower than the 4.8% hike seen in October.

Property investment also logged a 10.4% year-over-year decline in the 11 months ended Nov. 30, up slightly from the 10.3% drop in the January-October period.

Additionally, the year-over-year decline in China's new home prices stood at 5.7% in November, slower than the 5.9% slump the previous month.

Industrial production slightly exceeded expectations and saw a 5.4% boost from a year prior, higher than than 5.3% growth in October and a 5.3% forecast in a Reuters poll.

Property companies, which took a hit from a lack of concrete information on specific stimulus measures from last week's policy meeting, led the decline on Monday.

Shares of Ganglong China Property Group (HKG:6968), Longfor Group (HKG:0960), and Seazen Group (HKG:1030) dropped 10%, 5%, and 3%, respectively.
