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.

Gilleman Logistics offers a complete logistics solution to the customers’ needs.  This solution may include sea transportation, warehousing of the goods, stocks management, preparation of orders and organization of the transportation of these products all over Europe.

Armand Gilleman created the Group in Renaix in 1921 which was a representative company for the account of Belgian spinning mills and selling textile yarns exclusively in the Belgian market.

Jean-Jacques Gilleman, Armand Gilleman’s son, joined the agency in 1950 and developed sales in finding new suppliers, mainly in Italy, Spain, China, Thailand and India.

Pierre Gilleman, Jean-Jacques Gilleman’s son, joined the company in 1980.  He has concentrated on trading activities, initiated by his predecessor.  He has developed trading activities in partnership with suppliers all over the world and started selling yarns outside Belgium.

In 1992, the Group increased its capital to 100 MF and in 1998, capital was further increased to €3.75 million.

Since 2001, various subsidiaries has been opened abroad: Gilleman Spain, Gilleman Italy, Gilleman USA, etc. besides the subject.

In May 2004, Pierre Gilleman, in search of extension of his logistics business, decided to take over Smat Belgium.  After the take-over, Gilleman Logistics has not only increased his trucks fleet but also his staff of professionals in logistics services.

In 2006, the Group built a second warehouse located at “Rue Grande Couture” in Tournai.  The new warehouse has added an additional storage capacity of 5,000 cu.m.  In the same year, the Group opened a representative office in Shanghai, China, and opened a representative office in Cheb, Czech Republic.

In recent years, the Group’s Gilleman Logistics Shanghai, a China-based firm, has been put into operation.  This Shanghai Logistics Office is responsible for sourcing and shipping commodities.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active, however, it is closely related to the Group’s Shanghai Logistics Office.

The history of the subject in Hong Kong is over nine years and five months.

Since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on secured basis.
