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 40.7 million in 2013, 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 48.5% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 56.9% 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. As of year-end 2014, the Democracy protests that began in late September probably will have some adverse effects on economic growth, particularly retail sales.

GENERAL

 

Haier International (HK) Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haier Technology Co. Ltd. which is a BVI-registered firm.  The ultimate holding company of the subject Haier Group Corporation [Haier] is a China-based firm.  Haier is in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China.

The subject is responsible for marketing the Group’s products.  It is sharing the office with the following two associated companies:

Haier Global Business Corporation Ltd.

Haier International Business Corporation Ltd.

These two associated companies are registered in Hong Kong.

Haier is primarily a producer of household appliances (white goods), including air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators.  Its headquarters are in Qingdao, Shandong, the People’s Republic of China.  Haier is the fourth-largest white goods manufacturer in the world.

Haier was founded as Qingdao Refrigerator Co. in 1984.  With China opening up to world markets, foreign corporations began searching for partnerships in China.  One of these, Germany’s Liebherr Group, entered into an agreement with Qingdao Refrigerator Co., offering technology and equipment to its Chinese counterpart.  Refrigerators were to be manufactured under the name of Qingdao-Liebherr.

Having diversified its product line beyond refrigerators, the company adopted a new name in 1991.  Qingdao Haier Group was further simplified in 1992 to Haier Group, the company’s current name.

Its place in the domestic market secure, Haier moved onto the international stage with the goal of building a global brand name.  The company opened a production facility in Indonesia in 1996, and the Philippines and Malaysia in 1997.

Haier looked to make further inroads in the North American market by moving into the full-sized refrigerator category.

Haier continued its expansion into other international markets as well.  Production facilities were constructed in Pakistan in 2002 and Jordan in 2003, greatly strengthening its position in the Middle East market.  In Africa, Haier has plants in five countries: Tunisia, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and South Africa.  The company also purchased a factory in Italy, as part of its continued drive into the European market.  Haier has been successful in placing its products in most major European retail chains, either under its own brand or under OEM agreements with foreign partners.

Haier has had a subsidiary company Haier Electronics Group Co. Ltd. [Haier EG] which is a listed firm in Hong Kong.  Haier EG is listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd.  It and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the research, development, production and sale of washing machines and water heaters under the brand name of “Haier”.

Haier EG’s immediate holding company, Qingdao Haier Co. Ltd. (SHA: 600690), is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, China.

Haier’s global presence allows it to localise its production and build high-quality products tailored to local needs.  With 5 Research and Development centres around the world, Haier is equipped to stay on top and meet our goal of providing a large range of durable products.

In 2014, Haier’s global revenue and profit reached RMB200.7 billion Yuan [2013: RMB180.3 billion Yuan] and RMB15.0 billion Yuan [2013: RMB10.8 billion Yuan] respectively.

In 2014, its online trade volume reached RMB54.8 billion Yuan, a year-on-year growth of 2391%.  According to the statistics of Euro-monitor, an authoritative consumer market survey organ, Haier brand accounted for 10.2% of the global retail volume, becoming the top large household appliance brand in the world for the 6th consecutive year.

So far, Haier has had 5 research and development centres, 21 industrial parks, 66 trading companies and users across 100 countries and regions.

Now, a great number of makers and microenterprises gather on the two platforms of Qingdao Haier and Haier Electronics, where they innovate and grow with Haier’s ecosystem resources and gain many user resources.  By 2014, the number of Haier’s registered users has reached 36.85 million

The subject is fully supported by the Haier Group.

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