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 levies excise duties on only four commodities, namely: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. 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 9.1% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2012, an increase of 59% from the previous 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 34.9 million in 2012, 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 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 57.4% 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, and less than 2% in 2012. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly and inflation to rise 4.1% in 2012. 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

 

Hing Fook Jewelry is a sole proprietorship set up in June 2009 and owned by Mr. Rajesh Ganeshbhai Patel who is an Indian.  Being Manager of the subject, Patel is holding an India passport and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in an accountant located at “Room 109, 1/F., Mirror Tower, 61 Mody Road, Tsimshatsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong” known as “P C Yu & C Yip” which is handling its correspondences and documents.  The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

The subject is trading in loose diamonds, single cut diamonds, tapper cut diamonds, full cut diamonds, etc.  Rough, polished and cut diamonds are chiefly imported from Gujarat, India.  Prime markets are Hong Kong, China, Japan, the other Asian countries, Europe, etc.

The subject’s business is just handled by Patel himself.  Business is improving.

It is likely that the subject has got an associated company in India which is also operated by Patel.  The India firm deals with foreign parties under the name of the subject and let foreign firms correspond with the subject’s registered address in Hong Kong.  The India firm also exports commodities to foreign markets under the name of the subject and its registered address in Hong Kong.

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

On the whole, since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on L/C basis.

NOTE:

 

It is to be noted that the company does not have its own operating office in Hong Kong. The company uses the address of its secretariat as its correspondence address only. Subject operates from some other country and does not have a base in Hong Kong. Such companies are registered in Hong Kong just to tax benefit purpose and due to the strict privacy laws prevailing in the country. In such cases, the companies are not required to have any employees in Hong Kong nor do have an office there.
