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.

Although Jordache’s popularity had declined in the late 1990s, it continues to manufacture jeans—among other clothing and brands.
Today, the company designs and manufactures a wide variety of denim, apparel and accessories, some distributed internationally. The brands owned by Jordache Enterprises include Jordache, Earl Jeans, KIKIT Jeans, Maurice Sasson, Fubu Ladies, Airport, Blue Star, and Gasoline. Jordache is also an official licensee of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand. Jordache Enterprises also manufactures private label denim for well-known companies, including Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi's, and Abercrombie & Fitch, among others.
Through the initial proceeds from the Jordache label, the Nakash brothers have expanded their interest into real estate, aviation, high-tech (cryptography), maritime ventures, and food. Jordache Enterprises has two separate boards—one comprising six Nakashes and an outside board with 10 nonfamily members. Each male member of the second generation is highly specialized and has a nominal responsibility. The Nakash women have no formal responsibilities.
Spokesmodels for Jordache have included Brittany Murphy, Elizabeth Hurley, Katrina Bowden and the current spokesmodel Heidi Klum.
The Jordache Group is a leader in denim garment distribution. Jordache was set up by three brothers from Israel. Arriving in New York in the early 1960’s, the Nakash brothers, Joe, Ralph, and Avi, opened their first jeans store by 1969. In a few years, they expanded their business to four stores in the United States. Throughout the early 1970’s, the Nakash brothers kept their eyes on the European jeans market. Joe, Ralph, and Avi brought that “European-look jeans” to America and made it the “Jordache look”.
The results were staggering. Sales skyrocketed from US$72 million in 1979 to US$600 million by 1986. Throughout its history, Jordache has remained to be a fashion leader.
Jordache’s owned production facilities are located in Jordan, Madagascar, Kenya, Marocco, Mexico and Mauritius. Each facility is fully integrated with in-house cutting, sewing, wet-processing, sand-blasting, embroidery, finishing and packing capabilities. Jordache’s two distribution centres in New Jersey and Louisiana can support large-scale replenishment programs and are available for use by the private label division.
In addition, the subsidiary of the Private Label division is Jordache which handles products development, technical supporting, raw materials purchasing and finance supporting.
Some of Jordache’s garments are manufactured by contracted factories in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, apart from manufactured by its own factory in the Philippines. In recent years, Jordache’s garments are chiefly sourced from China and Thailand. Main products are trousers, slacks, dresses, skirts, denim products, jeans
