Hong Kong - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, it again faces a possible slowdown as exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 7.8% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2011, an increase of over 59% since the beginning of the year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's exports by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 28 million in 2011, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2011 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 43% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 56% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Growth slowed to 5% in 2011. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly in 2010 and inflation to rise 5.3% in 2011. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

GENERAL

 

Having issued 200,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Terratec Ltd. is wholly owned by Terratec Group Inc. which is a Cayman Island-registered firm.  The only director of the subject Juan Parreno Fernandez is a Hong Kong ID Card holder and has got the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

 

The subject in fact is an associated company of Terratec Asia Pacific Pty. Ltd. [TAPP] which is an Australia-based firm.  Including the subject, TAPP and its associated companies form the Terratec Group [Terratec/Group].

 

Incorporated in 1990, Terratec is the world-renowned Australian designer and manufacturer of Tunnel Boring Machines, Raise Boring Machines and other custom-made products for tunnelling and mining applications.

 

Terratec’s main products are TBM, RBM, Conveyor Systems, others.  It also offers customers with after-sales services.

 

Terratec has had an experienced engineering team.  The team includes engineers with over 40 years experience in the design and manufacture of tunneling and mining machines who have also worked on some of the world’s largest underground projects.

 

Terratec’s products have been claimed to be well-known in the industry as “Robust, Durable and Safe”, basic principles which must prevail in the conception of any equipment made to work in the extreme conditions encountered underground.  As a provider of Total Tunnelling Solutions, Terratec’s scope of work extends to include operation and maintenance of boring equipment during the execution of works as well as supply of ancillary equipment.

 

Today, Terratec is well placed to meet the growing global market.  Now, Terratec has set up associated companies in the United States and India in order to penetrate the international market further.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is chiefly handled by Juan Parreno Fernandez.  The contact person Ms. Vicky Wong is the personal assistant of Juan Parreno Fernandez.

 

The main business territories of the subject are Hong Kong, China, Southeast Asia, etc.

 

As the history of the subject is just about four years in Hong Kong,

on the whole, consider it good for normal credit requirements in small credit amounts.
