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 reexports, 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 continues to
link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement
established in 1983.
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 aided a more rapid initial recovery 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 9.4% of
total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2015. 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. Mainland
visitors to Hong Kong declined 3% in 2015 to approximately 45.7 million,
reflecting an overall drop of 2.5% in total visitors to Hong Kong. Hong Kong
has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms
seeking to list abroad. In 2015, mainland Chinese companies constituted about
51% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about
62.1% 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. 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, which took effect in
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. Credit expansion and a tight housing supply have caused Hong Kong
property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased 2.6% in 2016, but
slowed to 2.0% in 2017. Lower- and middle-income segments of the population are
increasingly unable to afford adequate housing.
Hong Kong’s economic integration with the mainland continues to be most
evident in the banking and finance sector. Initiatives like the Hong Kong-Shanghai
Stock Connect, the Mutual Recognition of Funds, and The Hong Kong Shanghai Gold
Connect are all important steps towards opening up the Mainland’s capital
markets and has reinforced Hong Kong’s leading role as China’s offshore RMB
market. Additional connect schemes from bonds to commodities and other
investment products are also under exploration by Hong Kong authorities. In
2017, Chief Executive Lam announced plans to increase government spending on
research and development, education, and technological innovation with the aim
of spurring continued economic growth through greater sector diversification.
