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.

CITIC Telecom International Ltd. is an international telecommunication
service provider. It is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International Holdings Ltd. [CTIH] which is a
public listed firm in Hong Kong.
CTIH now is the holding company of the CTIH Group.
Established in 1999, CTIH’s shares have been listed on the Main Board of
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. with stock code 1883 since 3rd April,
2007. CTIH is one of the leading
telecommunications hubs to provide telecom services in the Asia Pacific
including voice service, mobile SMS and other value added services (signaling
transit, prepaid roaming and VAS applications), data service and telecom
solutions to telecom carriers, mobile operators and ISP.
With carrier-grade platforms, intelligent network management,
high-quality customer services and advanced technology, CTIH is committed to
best‑in‑class levels of communication services for telecom carriers
and mobile operators around the globe.
It has already established its worldwide connectivity with around 527
telecom operators in 68 countries or regions globally carrying voice, mobile
signaling, SMS, data and IP traffics with absolute reliability and service
quality on its network.
Parent company of CTIH, CITIC Pacific Ltd. [CITIC Pacific], is also a
publicly quoted Hong Kong company with a diversified portfolio and unrivalled
expertise in operating businesses in Hong Kong and Mainland China. CITIC Pacific’s core international business
includes special steel manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aviation, property
development, power generation, marketing and distribution as well as
communications. CITIC Pacific also
enjoys strong support from its substantial shareholder, Beijing‑based
conglomerate CITIC Group.
For the year ended 31 December, 2012, the Group’s profit attributable to
equity shareholders increased to HK$461.3 million (2011: HK$458.2 million) while
turnover rose to HK$3,609.8 million (2011: 3,196.8 million).
The followings are the financial highlights of the Group in FY 2012:-
·
1.8 billion SMS carried.
·
Turnover from Data Services increased by 29.7% to
HK$952.0 million;
·
Turnover from Mobile VAS increased by 15.0% to
HK$202.7 million;
·
Voice traffic handled over 8.6 billion minutes.
The Group recorded revenue of HK$2,079.6 million from voice services in
2012 (2011: HK$1,939.1 million), a year-on-year increase of 7.2%.
There was however a drop of 4.9% in total traffic volume, which was
mainly due to our decision to focus on areas with high margin traffic.
On 13th January 2013, the Group entered into two sale and purchase
agreements with Sable Holding Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cable &
Wireless Communications Plc) and Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A., PT Participacoes
SGPS, S.A. and PT Comunicacoes, S.A. respectively to acquire their entire
interests in CTM (being a total of 79% interest), for a total cash
consideration of US$1,161,300,000 (approximately HK$9,058,100,000), subject to
adjustments as set out in the relevant sale and purchase agreements (together
referred to as the “Acquisitions”). Upon
completion of the Acquisitions, the Group will hold a 99% interest in CTM,
which will then become a subsidiary of the Group. The completion of the Acquisitions will be
subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the relevant sale and
purchase agreements.
As at the end of December 2012, the Group employed a total of 900
employees (2011: 554) for its headquarter in Hong Kong and its principal
subsidiaries. Employees overseas and in
mainland China totalled 432. The
increase in number of employees was mainly due to acquisition projects
completed during the year.
The subject is fully supported by the CTIH Group.
On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
