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.

hub with its key markets in China and Hong Kong. The Group is actively expanding its business
internationally by providing interoperability and interconnection services to
global telecoms operators. CITIC
Telecom’s main businesses cover Voice Services, SMS Services, Mobile VAS and
Data Services. It also provides a full
range of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, CITIC Telecom International CPC Limited [CITIC Telecom
CPC], across the Asia Pacific region. CITIC Telecom CPC is a preferred partner
of leading multinational corporations and business enterprises.
CITIC Telecom holds 99% interest in Companhia de Telecomunicações de
Macau, S.A.R.L. [CTM], one of Macau’s leading integrated telecoms services
provider. CTM, the only full telecoms
service provider in Macau, is a long-time leader in providing world-class
telecoms services to Macau residents and enterprises while playing a major role
in the ongoing development of Macau.
CITIC Group Corporation, one of the largest commercial organisations in
the People’s Republic of China, is the ultimate holding company of CITIC
Telecom.
Parent company of CTIH, CITIC Pacific Ltd. [CITIC Pacific], is also a
publicly quoted Hong Kong company with a diversified portfolio and unrivalled
expertise in operating businesses in Hong Kong and Mainland China. CITIC Pacific’s core international business
includes special steel manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aviation, property
development, power generation, marketing and distribution as well as
communications. CITIC Pacific also
enjoys strong support from its substantial shareholder, Beijing‑based
conglomerate CITIC Group.
For the year ended 31st December, 2012, the Group reported a total
revenue of HK$6,018.5 million, representing an increase of 66.7% over the
previous year. Profit attributable to
equity shareholders of the Company grew 131.4% year-on-year to HK$1,067.5
million (2011: HK$461.3 million).
Voice services for CITIC Telecom represent the Group’s traditional
telecoms hubbing services. Voice
services revenue decreased by HK$403.3 million or 19.4% to HK$1,676.3 million
for 2013 when compared with 2012. The
Group handled a total traffic of 7.01 billion minutes, a 19.1% reduction
compared with last year. Total China
inbound and outbound traffic for the year has dropped by 18.4% and total
international traffic dropped by 20.4% when compared to 2012. The decrease in traffic is due to the weak
performance of global voice wholesales market.
In order to mitigate the adverse impact, the Group implemented a
strategy in targeting regions with higher margin. As a result, overall revenue per minute was
HK$0.24 which was the same as previous year.
SMS services sustained stable growth in 2013 with turnover reaching
HK$416.5 million for the year ended 31st December 2013, an overall growth of
10.9% as compared to 2012. Owing to the
increasing popularity of social networking applications, the number of Hong
Kong domestic SMS dropped by 29.0% during the year. However, the Group accelerated the
development of corporate SMS to minimise the substitution impact brought by
emerging internet applications. The
number of international SMS achieved strong growth of 22.7% and the increase in
international and corporate traffic has partly offset the decrease in local
domestic SMS.
Although the number of messages handled by the Group has dropped by 8.6%
to 1,691.5 million messages from 2012, the average revenue per SMS has
increased by approximately 25.0%.
As at the end of December 2013, the Group employed a total of 2,016
employees (2012: 900) for its headquarter in Hong Kong and its principal
subsidiaries.
Number of employees in Hong Kong was 482. Employee in mainland China and Macau totalled
1,416. Employees in overseas countries
totalled 118.
The increase in number of employees was mainly due to acquisition
projects completed during the year.
The subject is fully supported by the CTIH Group.
On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
