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.

HISTORY

 

The subject was incorporated on 16th April, 2010 as a private limited liability company under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

 

Formerly the subject’s registered address was located at Suite 605, 6/F., China Insurance Group Building, 141 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong where was the operating address of a commercial service provider known as Prima Secretaries Ltd.  The subject’s registered office moved to the present address with effect from 26th October, 2016 as it has changed its commercial service provider since then.

 

Apart from these, neither material change nor amendment has been ever traced and noted.

 

 

GENERAL

 

Best Oasis Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Priya Blue Industries Private Ltd. [Priya Blue] which is an India-based firm.  The subject is a member of the Priya Group of companies.

The subject also has issued 62.4 million preference shares of which 75% are owned by Mr. Gauray Sanay Mehta and 25% are owned by Mr. Bhansali Rishikumar.

 

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at “20/F., Champion Building, 287-291 Des Voeux Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong” known as “Akin Professionals Ltd.” [APL] which is handling its correspondences and documents.  APL is also the corporate secretary of the subject.  It was appointed on 26th October, 2016.

 

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

 

The subject has four directors while three of them are India passport holders, one of them Mr. Gerd Walter Leopold is a Germany passport holder.

 

The head office of the subject is in India [hereinafter is referred to BOL].

 

BOL is part of Priya Blue Group.  It is engaged in the ship recycling industry.

 

BOL is engaged in multiple jobs which acts as a purchaser, seller and financer.

 

In 2010, Mr Sanjay Mehta set up the subject in Hong Kong for the sole purpose of cash buying of vessels for recycling at Alang, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China.

 

BOL has purchased and sold over 120 ships with an aggregate tonnage of 1,600,000 LDT and sales valued at USD 700 million.  Apart from this, BOL is also one of the leading Cash Buyers in the German KG-container market.

 

Priya Blue is one of the established and leading recycling units in Alang/Sosiya (Gujarat, India).  It is also a member of the Priya Group of Industries.

Ship recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent wastage of potentially useful materials.  Priya Blue has been one of the companies in India which is able to achieve its purposes.

 

Now, Priya Blue is in Gujarat, India.  It also has had a ship breaking yard which is also in Gujarat, India.

Sanjay Prataprai Mehta was the founder of the Group which was established in 1983.

During the course of business from 1983 to 1990, the Group had served well‑known Corporate Bodies, Enterprises, Star Trading House, Government Undertakings, etc. in India.

 

The followings are the highlights of the Priya Blue Group:

Priya Blue had joined hands in the past as selling agents with the renowned M/s. Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan, in business of cash buying and has sold 27 Vessels weighing about 500,000.00 LT.

The Group has recycled over 50 ships out of which 8 are ULCC’s and 7 were VLCC's ships totalling approx. 883,000 tons valued at over US$ 300 Million.  Total LDT over 1.5 million.

 

The Group has bought and recycled the legendary vessel "ST MONT / Ex Jahre Viking / Knock Nevis" (83,000 LDT) the biggest vessel ever built.  And the world longest passenger vessel "BLUE LADY / Ex – SS Norway / SS France", both of which were recycled as per actual international Green recycling standards at our in-house Green Ship Recycling yard in India.

 

The Priya Blue Group is seeking for opportunities in the Asia Pacific region in order to increase its business portfolio.  Especially from China.  Now the Group also has set up associated company in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates and Hamburg, Germany besides the subject in Hong Kong and India.

 

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active.  History in Hong Kong is about eight years.

 

Since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on L/C basis or in small credit amounts.
