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.

Raja Fashions is a partnership concern jointly owned by two Indian, namely, Mr. Rajkumar Daswani (alias Raja Daswani) and Ms. Shalini Daswani. The two Daswanis have been in Hong Kong for a very long time.
The subject was officially established in 1957 by the grandfather of Mr. Raja Daswani, who emigrated from Northern India to Hong Kong and set up a custom tailored business in Kowloon.
During the 40 year period between the establishment of the subject and the handover of Hong Kong back to China, the Raja Fashions store in Kowloon continued to grew in reputation. When Raja Daswani assumed operations, he started promoting the brand.
Now, the subject is one of the leading tailors offering custom-made clothing, shoes, handbags and leather garments. It is Hong Kong’s leading bespoke tailors specialized in “beautifully crafted custom made garments for men and women”.
However its core business is custom-made garments. Since 1998, the subject also offers online service. Customers can order their shirts and coats via E‑mail.
Now Mr. Raja Daswani is also the chief executive officer of the subject.
The subject has delivered quality hand tailored shirts since 1957. Three generations of tailors, specializing in the craft of making shirts. All its shirts are hand made. It has claimed that “only the finest materials like pure cotton, Egyptian cotton, Swiss cotton, cotton oxford, polyester cotton is used”.
The subject has got large inventory of fine Italian and English fabrics which are warehoused in its own on-site facilities. With over 20,000 fabrics in stock, ranging from affordable to exclusive (including fabrics from top European mills and houses such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Scabal, Loro Piana and more), the subject is able to serve to suit all.
The subject’s local customers comprise executives from large corporations and small companies as well as member of the Rotary Club of Hong Kong.
The subject has got its production base and warehouse in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, China. For orders, the work is done in Hong Kong, whereas postal and Internet orders are directed to Shenzhen.
After the handover of Hong Kong, instead of waiting for customers to come to their store in Kowloon, Mr. Daswani decided to visit his customers in United Kingdom, and began setting stores in 5-star hotels in London and letting his previous customers know by mail that he would be coming to measure people for suits.
These international tours proved profitable, so Raja Fashions quickly adapted this strategy for others cities in the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2009, Raja Fashions embarked on a second round of expansion, establishing hotel shops in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Belgium, and Switzerland. In 2012, Raja Fashions offered service in the United Arab Emirate of Doha for the first time.
Mr. Daswani has been interviewed by local presses and media in the Unit Kingdom.
The subject has been ranked 9th best international tailors in the world.
To our knowledge, the total fix assets of Daswani in Hong Kong amount to HK$300 million. He has six premises in Cameron Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Apart from a tailor, Daswani is also a property investor.
Being a significant tailor in Hong Kong, the subject is considered good for normal business engagements.
