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 has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise duties on
only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: 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, its continued reliance on foreign
trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global financial market
volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. 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 12% of total system
deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. 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 total trade 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. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have
caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by
more than 4% in 2013. 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. In 2013, Hong Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer
Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between
Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014,
cover services and trade facilitation, and will improve access to the
mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies.
