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 12.5% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2014. 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 47.3 million in 2014, 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 2014 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 50% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 60.1% 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 4.4% in 2014. 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 2014, Hong Kong and China signed a new agreement on achieving basic liberalization of trade in services in Guangdong Province under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from March 2015, cover a negative list and a most-favored treatment provision, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at Unit B, 9/F., Jonsim Place, 228 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong known as Happy Consultants Ltd. [HCL] which is handling its correspondences and documents.  HCL is also the corporate secretary of the subject.  This firm is an associate of an accountant firm B. Ho & Co. CPA which is also located at the above-mentioned address.  The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

 

To our knowledge, the subject is an associate of Group Indigo SARL [Group Indigo], which is a France-based firm.  Group Indigo commenced business in 2005 and with a registered capital of EUR 7,500.

 

Group Indigo is a service organisation offering expertise in sourcing, product development, quality and technical assurance to fashion retailers and brands in Europe.  The founders of Group Indigo, Ashim Khanna who is the shareholder of the subject, has had a consolidated experience of over 20 years in sourcing apparels, home textiles and fashion accessories for customers in the United Kingdom, France, other European countries and the United States.  Most of its suppliers are in India, China and the other Asian countries.  It seems that India is the main supplying country.  Group Indigo also carries other commodities as entrusted by customers.

 

Group Indigo has set up an office and supplier base in India.  It has had suppliers from the Indian subcontinent namely from countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc.  It also has extensive industry contacts and counterparts to source from the Middle East and Africa (Dubai, Kenya, Madagascar, Egypt, Turkey.).

 

Group Indigo has set up an office in Paris where is the centre of Europe, which allows it to be in the vicinity of its main customers.

 

The Group’s another office is in New Delhi and a production branch office in south India in Chennai, and an office in Pune for Western Indian operations from Bombay.

 

Mr. Ashim Khanna, is the Director of Europe Operations – Customer Management, R&D and Finance management.  Graduated from Delhi University, he has been living in Europe since 2001.  He has got an MBA degree from HEC France and also has got an apparel production technology diploma from NIFT, India.  He had worked for 8 years in a US$14 billion turnover company May Department Stores in its New Delhi office, administering the women’s, men’s and children’s divisions.

Currently, Ashim Khanna is residing in France administering the business of Group Indigo.  The overall business of Group Indigo is active.  Its business in India is also active.  Besides in India, the Group also has had an office in Turkey.

 

The subject is fully supported by Group Indigo.  However, the subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active.  Its history in Hong Kong is over nine years.
