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.

Having issued 3.5 million ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Hong Kong Baomin Trading Ltd. is wholly owned by Mr. Joe Xu Jiti who is a China merchant.  He is a China passport holder and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.  He is also the only director of the subject.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at MSH3647, Room 1007, 10/F., Ho King Centre, 2‑16 Fa Yuen Street, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong known as HKRTP Ltd. which is handling its correspondences and documents.  This firm is also the corporate secretary of the subject.  “MSH3647” is the file number of the subject in the commercial service firm.

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.  It is an iron and steel trader.  It has got a main associated company in China known as Shanghai Baomin Iron & Steel Group Co. Ltd. [Baomin/Group] which is a China-based firm.  Baomin was established in 2006 in China.

The subject is a member of the Group.

Baomin is trading in hot rolled plate and cold rolled plate.  It is a large complex engaged in steel trading, processing, warehousing and transportation and having eight subsidiaries.

Baomin is also engaged in marketing and processing of various specifications of hot rolled steel coils and galvanized steel coils.  Its cutting centre and warehouse are located in Fuxing Island which is near by Huangpu River, Shanghai, China.  The two facilities cover an area of 60 thousand square meters and the processing plant has been equipped with eight sets state of art cutting equipment and the monthly production capacity is 80 thousand tons of iron and steel.  The products cover all domestic hot rolled steel coils which with 1 mm to 25 mm thickness and 600 mm to 2500 mm width.

At present, Baomin is the agent of the following iron and steel mills in China: Baoshan Iron & Steel Group, Shoudu Iron & Steel Group, Anshan Iron & Steel Group, Ma Steel, Ningbo Iron & Steel, Benxi Iron & Steel Group, Tangshan Iron & Steel Group, Taiyuan Iron & Steel Group, Zhujiang Iron & Steel Group, Shagang, Liangang, Ninggang, Beitai Iron & Steel Group, Baotou Iron & Steel, Wuhan Iron & Steel, etc.

The headquarters of Baomin are in Shanghai, China.  Now it has set up over ten wholly-owned subsidiaries in main cities of China such as Nanjing, Wuxi, Jiangyin, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Shenyang, Chongqing, Quanzhou, etc., apart from the subject.

The total employees of the Group is about 360 persons in China.  Annual sales turnover ranges from RMB6.0 to 6.2 billion Yuan.  It sells over 1.2 million tonnes of iron and steel every year in average.  Business is active and profitable.

The contact person of Baomin is also Mr. Xu Jiti.

The subject is fully supported by Baomin.  However, its business in Hong Kong is not active.  History in Hong Kong is over seven years.

Since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on L/C basis or in very small credit amounts.
