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

 

Living Homeopathy Ltd. is jointly owned by Mr. To Ka Lun, holding 60% interests; Mr. Kou Wai Kun, holding 20%; and Mr. Chan Siu Chung, also 20%.

The subject was set up by To Ka Lun in 1994.

According to the subject, To Ka Lun is an appointed professor of School of Homeopathy of the United Kingdom and Alternative Training and Curing Method College.  In the 90’s, Mr. To has been Australia, the United States and even Europe to learn nutriology.  Subsequently, he graduated from the UK School of Homeopathy and the UK School of Natural Science.  In December 2000, Mr. To registered as a consultant of International Nutrition Consultant Association of the United States.  In 2005, Mr. To set up Hong Kong Living Homeopathy Association.  In 2008, he was permitted by School of Homeopathy of the United Kingdom to translate the classic living homeopathy into Chinese.

The subject is engaged in Homeopathy and marketing all kinds of health foodstuffs.  Besides selling health foodstuffs, the subject is also a school where students are admitted to learn Living Homeopathy.  Those graduated students can be a Homeopath.  Mr. To Ka Lun and the other shareholders are the professors of Living Homeopathy.

Mr. To started to be the professor for the diploma of holistic nutrition since 2004, more than a thousand students benefited in these days.  In 2008, Prof. To went to the UK and since then, he has been co-operating with School of Homeopathy UK [SOH].  His aim is to translate all the courses from English into Chinese, and it will be the very first Chinese Homeopathy course in China, as so far all the homeopathy courses here are either attendance courses overseas or correspondence course in English.  After he has personally finished the whole course from SOH, from theory to practitioner level, from paper to clinical, he was appointed as the lecturer for the Chinese homeopathy course.

According to the subject, it has all along been practicing Mr. To’s principles on health and marketing, from 1994 till now, the prices of all the remedies and service have not gone up with the inflation at all.  Comparing with other similar companies, the service and remedies of the subject are not only in better quality but also in more affordable price.

The contact person of the subject is Ms. Sandy Yiu.  She can be reached at her Hong Kong mobile phone number 852-9231 3085.

The subject imports health foodstuffs from the United States, Canada, Europe, as well as Australia.  Products are marketed in Hong Kong, Macau and re‑exported to the other Asian countries, Europe, etc.  Business is rather active.

As the history of the subject in Hong Kong is over twenty years, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
