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

Biroute Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shun Shing Group International Ltd. [SSGIL] which is a BVI-registered firm.

The subject is a member of the Shun Shing Group of Companies. The directors of the subject are Indian merchants. All are Hong Kong ID Card holders and have got the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

The subject and Shun Shing Resources JTL, a UAE-based firm, belong to the trading division of the Shun Shing Group.

The subject and SSGIL are engaged in the same lines of business, more or less.

SSGIL has developed into a successful bulk-commodity trading, shipping, and investment company. The Group has focused on vertical integration in its evolution; linking together a supply chain process to optimise efficiency.

As an international trading house, SSGIL has gained recognition as a leader in the import and export of dry bulk commodities, and those include: clinker, limestone, fly ash, gypsum, blast furnace slag, chemical fertilizer, cement, iron ore, etc.

Anchored with a strong hold in Asia’s Cement industry, the Group has expanded to trade soft commodities and energy including: wheat, crude degummed soyabean oil, coal, crude palm oil, grain, etc.

SSGIL’s combined trade of raw materials exceeds 6 million Metric Tonnes annually; sourcing and supplying commodities worldwide with a focus into the Asia Pacific region.

SSGIL’s landmark investment in 2001 was the establishment of a 500,000 MT Cement Grinding Mill located in Kaligonj, Bangladesh. The Mill is 38km away from the capital Dhaka. By the end of 2012, SSGIL’s cement production was 3.1 million MT, with increased capacity at the current site and a new plant in Khulna city, to cover the Southwest market. The group’s own cement brand, SEVEN RINGS, has been elevated to become a market leader – culminated by years of building trust and providing consistent quality to consumers.

The group’s shipping division offers chartering, operating, freight trading, and technical management services – backed by professional teams and its own fleet of bulk carriers. This division is responsible for handling 7 million MT of in-house and third party dry bulk commodities ranging from coal, iron ore, cement related items, food grain, and other bulk commodities.

With a combined staff of over 1,500 dedicated professionals working in its headquarters (Hong Kong) and branch (Bangkok, Beijing, Chittagong, Dhaka, Dubai, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai, Singapore) offices across the core trading regions, SSGIL is able to provide customers with all kinds of materials sourcing services.

SSGIL’s strong performance record and commitment to working with reputable buyers and sellers has made the Group a renowned name in the bulk trading market.

The subject’s business is active and steady. Most of its customers are in Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc.

The annual turnover of the Group is very significant.

As the history of the subject is over 26 years and a month in Hong Kong, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
