HONGKONG - 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, effective 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 4.4% in 2014, but slowed to 2.9% in 2015. 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.

GENERAL
BASF Hong Kong
Limited [BHKL], incorporated in December 1977, was originally registered as
Ciba-Geigy (Hong Kong) Ltd. [CGHK].
CGHK was a merger of
Ciba and Geigy, two businesses established in Hong Kong in 1947 and 1946
respectively. In 1996, CGHK and Sandoz
were merged; Ciba-Geigy’s industrial divisions spun off to form a specialty
chemical firm - Ciba Specialty Chemicals.
On 15th January, 1997, CGHK was renamed as Ciba Specialty Chemicals
(Hong Kong) Ltd. [CSCHK].
CSCHK was a member of
the Ciba Group. Ciba Holding AG [Ciba
Holding] was the ultimate holding company of Group. Its shares were listed on the SIX Swiss
Exchange, traded on SWX Europe, and its American Depositary Shares traded on
the New York Stock Exchange until 20th July, 2007. Ciba Holding was a global leader in the
discovery and manufacture of innovative specialty chemicals that provide
colour, performance and care for plastics, coatings, paper and other
products. Its products and services were
also used to provide clean water and to treat water streams in industrial and
municipal applications.
CSCHK was a specialty
chemicals manufacturer and trader.
Employing 200 persons and having a laboratory area of 10,000 sq.ft.,
CSCHK was engaged in manufacturing PC boards, multi-layer PCBs, ICs and other
specialty chemicals. CSCHK also imported
and wholesaled specialty chemicals such as additives, colours, consumer care
and performance polymers, etc. Having a
long history and getting a firm foothold in Hong Kong, CSCHK’s business had
been good. On 26th July, 2007, CSCHK
changed its name to Ciba (Hong Kong) Ltd. [Ciba HK].
On 15th September,
2008, BASF SE (or known as BASF Societas Europaea) [BASF] made a public tender
offer to acquire all publicly held shares in Ciba Holding at a price of CHF 50
in cash per share. The offer was
accepted by shareholders in November 2008, and 94.59% of the company’s shares
were acquired by BASF. On 9th April,
2009, BASF completed the acquisition of Ciba Holding. The purchase price was €2,178 million.
Following the
acquisition, Ciba HK became a member of the BASF Group. Subsequently, the name of Ciba HK has been
changed to BHKL which is the present style on 28th December, 2009.
Presently, BASF’s
worldwide business is managed by operating divisions that have been aggregated
into 5 segments since 2013: Chemicals, Performance Products, Functional
Solutions, Agricultural Solutions, Oil & Gas.
Chemicals
In the Chemicals
segment, the Group supplies products to customers in the chemical, electronics,
construction, textile, automotive, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries
as well as many others.
Performance Products
Performance Products
lend stability and colour to countless everyday items and help to improve their
application profile. Its product
portfolio includes vitamins and food additives as well as ingredients for
pharmaceuticals and for hygiene, home and personal care items.
Functional Materials
& Solutions
In the Functional
Materials & Solutions segment, the Group bundles system solutions, services
and innovative products for specific sectors and customers, in particular for
the automotive, electrical, chemical and construction industries as well as for
household appliances, sports and leisure products.
Agricultural
Solutions
Crop protection
products guard against fungal diseases, insects and weeds, increase the quality
of agricultural products and secure crop yields. Its research in plant biotechnology
concentrates on plants for greater efficiency in agriculture, better nutrition,
and use as renewable raw materials.
Oil & Gas
As the largest German
producer of oil and gas, the Group focuses its exploration and production on
oil- and gas-rich regions in Europe, North Africa, South America, Russia and
the Caspian Sea region. Together with
its Russian partner Gazprom, it is active in the transport, storage and trading
in natural gas in Europe.
Other
Activities not
assigned to a particular division are under this segment.
BASF has expanded its
Pudong site in Shanghai, China. In
December 2010, ground was broken on a new Innovation Campus for the Asia
Pacific region which was opened in 2012.
Now, the business of China is administered by Mr. Albert Gerhard Heuser.
In order to serve the
growing market of western China, BASF has built a large MDI plant in Chongqing,
China. The plant has an annual
production capacity of 400,000 tons. The
project broke ground in April 2011, and commercial operation began in mid-2014.
BASF currently has
subsidiaries in 80 countries. In Greater
China it has maintained a number of sales offices, for example in Hong Kong
(the subject BHKL), Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao and
Taipei. BASF’s business in Greater China
includes products such as petrochemicals, inorganics, polymer dispersions,
polyurethanes, engineering plastics, coatings, finishing products for the
textile and leather industries, electronic materials, intermediates, catalysts,
construction chemicals, paper chemicals and care chemicals.
For the year ended 31st
December, 2016, the sales of the Group amounted to €57.5 billion, decreased by
18.0% as compared with €70.4 billion in FY 2015; income from operation
[EBIT] was €6.3 billion, increased by 1.6% as compared with €6.2 billion in FY
2015.
In 2016, the Group
generated 43% of its sales (excluding Oil & Gas) with customers in
Europe. In addition, 26% of sales were
generated in North America; 22% in Asia Pacific; and 9% in South America,
Africa, and the Middle East.
For the 9 months
ended 30th September, 2017, the sales of the Group amounted to €48.4 billion,
increased by 13.3% as compared with €42.7 billion in the same period of
FY 2016; income from operation [EBIT] was €6.6 billion, increased by 32.0%
as compared with €5.0 billion in the same period of FY 2016. The increase in sales was attributable to
good volumes development as well as significantly higher sales prices in the
Chemical segment. Sales were also lifted
by the Chemetall business, acquired in December 2016. All segments recorded slightly negative
currency effects.
For the 9 months
ended 30th September, 2017, the Group had 114,000 employees.
The history of BHKL
in Hong Kong is about 40 years.
On the whole, in view
of the parentage of BHKL, consider it good for normal business engagements.
