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.

GENERAL

 

Hong Kong Industrial Services Ltd. was founded in 1964 as a member of the CDW Group which is chiefly owned by Mr. Cha Chi Ming who is a Hong Kong merchant.

Founded in 1949, the CDW Group has been one of Asia’s leading woven fabric, dyeing and printing organization and has established extensive business relationships, both locally and internationally.  It is closely tied with companies in textile operations in China, Africa and the United Kingdom.  The first member of the group was known as China Dyeing Works Ltd. [CDW].

The subject is a transhipment agent of machines and materials on behalf of CDW Group’s textile interests in Nigeria operating under the names of United Nigerian Textiles Ltd., Zemfara Textile Industries Ltd., etc.

CDW, established in Hong Kong in 1949, has grown to become one of Asia’s leading dyeing and printing fabric suppliers.

The main products of the CDW Group are the followings: Cotton, polyester/cotton, linen, cotton/ silk, rayon, lycra, T400, and their blended, lurex, tencel, compact yarn, bamboo, coolmax, warmtex, plain weave, twill, satin, dobby, velvet, corduroy, moleskin, stretch, yarn dye, seersucker, apparel fabrics and bed linen.

The following firms are some of the Group’s main customers: Calvin Klein, Banana Republic, J. Crew, JCPenney, Jones New York, Gerry Weber, Van Heusen, Vans, EXPRESS, Wrangler, Calvin Klein Jeans, Lee, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, Polo Ralph Lauren, Esprit, SAMOON, Your M&S, L.L.Bean, Gymboree, We Fit Your Life, Limited Too, Nautica, Ann Taylor, Abercrombie & Fitch, Liz Claiborne Inc., etc.

Now, the Group has set up associated companies in Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, the United States, Congo, Togo, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Fasso, China, the United Kingdom, etc.

The subject is in fact a part of The Cha Textiles Group.  The Group principally is engaged in traditional woven textile business and non-woven industrial products.  To keep abreast with the latest technology, the Group has expanded into synthetic fibre and yarn, digital printing, thermoplastic polyurethane chips, spandex filament and tape production.  It has consequently built a global network with operations in Hong Kong, China, West Africa, Europe and the United States.  In addition to textiles and apparel markets, the Group is also involved in different segments.

Certain companies of the Cha Group are publicly listed while most operate collectively as privately-held members of the Cha Group.

The Cha Textiles Group can be categorized into several divisions:-

  • CDW International;
  • Cha Group in Africa;
  • Cha Group in China; &
  • Cha Technologies.

The subject is fully supported by The Cha Textiles Group.  Annual sales turnover is significant.

The Cha Group has over 300 employees in Hong Kong.

The history of the subject in Hong Kong is over 50 years and seven months.

On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
