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.

The subject is a joint venture between the Germany company and the Hong Kong company.  The equities of the shareholders changed on 15th December, 2014.  The Germany company increased its equity to 63% (formerly was just 51%).

 

TTG has been partnering with AIL for a very long time.  AIL is a member of the Asmara Group of companies.

 

TTG is a German fashion retailer and the subject is engaged in sourcing all kinds of fashions in the Asia Pacific region.

 

TTG was founded in 1962 in Hamburg.  It mainly provides classic and up-to-date casual wear and accessories for men, women, young adults and children.  TTG’s clothes are usually priced in the medium price range.  Its core markets are Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Benelux countries and France.

 

In 2015, TTG’s products were sold in 250 own retail stores, the Tom Tailor E-Shop (Germany, Austria and the Netherlands), 160 franchise stores and 1,790 shop-in-shops in 35 countries around the world.

 

In fiscal year 2011, the Tom Tailor Group generated sales of EUR 411.6 million.  Now, its sales ranges from EUR 450 to 500 million.

 

Dieter Holzer, one of the directors of the subject, is also the CEO of TTG.

 

Now, the subject has become a member of Germany public company Tom Tailor Group.

 

Now, the subject has had associated companies or associated purchasing offices in Indonesia, China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia and Pakistan.

 

Asmara Group is trading in the following commodities: all kinds of home products, garments, fashion accessories, trims, fashion jewellery, etc.

 

Established in 2000 in Indonesia, Asmara has grown into a global sourcing organisation in the areas of apparel as well as home products.

 

The beginning of Asmara was small, it just had an office with four persons in the city of Bogor in Indonesia (about 50 km south of Jakarta, the capital).  Over the following years, offices were opened in India, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.  The original product line of apparel was further expanded to include accessories as well as home products.

 

Today, with about more than 700 professionals located in nine different offices worldwide, Asmara is working in close coordination to offer its customers a wide sourcing platform to cover their broad requirements in different products and at different price points.

 

The subject is fully supported by its two holding companies.  History in Hong Kong is just over three years and five months.

 

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements in moderate credit amounts.
