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.

The Suzlon Group is ranked as the world’s fifth largest wind turbine supplier, in terms of cumulative installed capacity, at the end of 2011.  The Group’s global spread extends across Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa and North and South America has over 21,500 MW of wind energy capacity installed in 30 countries, operations across 33 countries and a workforce of over 13,000.

The Group offers one of the most comprehensive product portfolios – ranging from sub-megawatt on-shore turbines at 600 Kilowatts (KW), to the world’s largest commercial 6.15 MW offshore turbine – with a vertically integrated, low - cost, manufacturing base.  The Group – headquartered at Suzlon One Earth in Pune, India – comprises Suzlon Energy Limited and its subsidiaries, including REpower Systems SE.

Suzlon was set up by Mr. Tulsi Tanti’s venture into the textile industry.  Faced with soaring power costs and the infrequent availability of power, he looked to wind energy as an alternative.  Beginning with a wind farm project in the Indian state of Gujarat in 1995, with a capacity of just 3 MW - he set forth to acquire the basic technology and varied expertise to set up Suzlon Energy Limited - India’s first home-grown wind technology company.

Mr. Tulsi Tanti is also a director of the subject.

Suzlon has over 21,500 MW of installations across the world.  It has earned a global cumulative market share of 7.6%.  Suzlon in India has a cumulative installed base of over 7500 MW across 8 states, acquired over 43% (as on September 2012) cumulative market share and is the market leader for the last 14 consecutive years.

With world-class design, R&D teams, and state-of-the-art facilities in Belgium, Germany, India and The Netherlands, Suzlon has set up an R&D team.

Suzlon, in joint venture partnership with REpower, has established the Renewable Energy Technology Center [RETC] in Hamburg.  RETC provides cross-industrial and interdisciplinary expertise in the areas of Research, Technology development, Testing, Validation and Consulting in cooperation with an international network.

Suzlon Group’s current annual manufacturing capacity stands at 5,900 MW (Suzlon 4,200 MW + REpower 1,700 MW).  Its manufacturing facilities employ over 4,000 people worldwide.

Suzlon has had customers in China.  Its significant China customers are Huaneng Group and Datang Group.

For the year ended 31st March, 2012, Group revenue amounted to INR 210,823.7 million (2011: INR 178,791.3 million).  However, the Group made losses in the two years.  It suffered from a loss of INR 4,785.8 million in 2012, INR 13,239.7 million in 2011.

Suzlon also made a loss in FY 2010.  On 24th January, 2013, the Group is going to restructure its domestic debt by the Empowered Group of Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active.  History in Hong Kong is over four years and seven months.
