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.
