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.

GENERAL

 

Main Life Corporation Limited [MLCL] is a local-Japanese joint venture established in 1971 to distribute Japanese pharmaceuticals in Hong Kong.  Imported pharmaceuticals are mainly sold to local hospitals and clinics.  MLCL is also engaged in importing, re-exporting, and wholesaling pesticides, western medicines.

In July 1990, MLCL set up a joint venture business known as Shenzhen Main Luck Pharmaceuticals Inc., China [SZMLPI].

Based in Shenzhen, SZMLPI is created by MLCL (Hong Kong), China National Accord Medicines Co., Ltd. (China), and MicroBiopharm Japan Co. Ltd. (Japan).

SZMLPI develops and produces anti-tumor medicines.  It provides 10-hydroxycamptothecin, an anticancer compound; Paclitaxel, an anti-microtubule drug; Docetaxel, a semisynthetic antitumor drug; Inorelbine, a monobasic vinblastine sulfate drug; and Ifosfamide that is used to cure carcinoma of testis, ovarian and breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, malignant lymphoma, and lung cancer.

SZMLPI also offers Mesna, which is applied to combine with cyclophosphamide or iphosphamide to avoid hemorrhagic cystitis; Pirarubicin, an anthracene nucleus broad-spectrum antitumor antibiotic; Aclarubicin, an antitumor antibiotic; and Adriamycin that is used to cure acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma, cancers, sarcoma of bone and soft tissue, embryoma of kidney, neuroblastoma, carcinoma of bladder, cancinoma of prostate, pate prickle cell carcinoma, carcinoma of testis, and gastric carcinoma. In addition, it provides Daunorubicinm that cures acute leukemia; Vincristine, an alkaloids anti-neoplastic agent that is applied in combination chemotherapy; Bleomycin, an antitumor antibiotic; and Lastet, an anti-tumor drug.

Growing by 30% annually during the last decade, SZMLPI has developed into a leading company in the field by comprehensively ranking among the top domestic pharmaceutical companies in the oncology field.

Being one of the earliest anti-caner medicine manufacturers, SZMLPI introduced Japanese GMP management into its quality management system, as well as imported dedicated equipment and instruments from USA, Netherland, Japan, Switzerland and Germany to build up a quality center and establish a sound quality management system.  Therefore SZMLPI was one of the first companies obtaining Chinese GMP certificate, as well as one of the first obtaining Chinese current GMP2010 certificate.

Up to date, Main Luck’s product list includes a series of national new products such as Pirarubicin, Aclarubicin, Doxorubicin, Daunorubicin, Docetaxel, Vincristine, Bleomycin, Lastet, Mesna, Iphosphamide, holding a production capacity of 5 million vials of lyophilized powder for injection, 50 million vials of small volume solution, 10 million capsules and APIs with hi-tech and hi-standard.

By cooperating with well-known domestic and overseas research institutes, such as Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Meteria Medica, Sichuan Industrial Institute of Antibiotics, National Pharmaceutical Engineering Research Center, USA Vanderbilt University, Japan Kumamoto University, Japan Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. etc.  SZMLPI is moving forward to genetically engineered drugs, adjuvant drugs for cancer treatment and some more advanced areas, targeting to the hi-tech and world’s leading new products, monoclonal antibodies; and is developing controlled-release microspheres, liposome and colon targeted drug delivery system, hence progress technologies and upgrade the products in the industry.  Currently, SZMLPI has developed itself from a specialized manufacturer to a comprehensive company with diversified business of pharmaceutical R & D, manufacturing, marketing and distribution.
