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.
Excess liquidity, low interest rates and a tight housing supply have
caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly. The lower and middle-income
segments of the population increasingly find housing unaffordable.
Hong Kong's open economy has left it exposed to the global economic
situation. Its continued reliance on foreign trade and investment makes it
vulnerable to renewed global financial market volatility or a slowdown in the
global economy.
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 surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 47.3 million in
2014, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. After peaking in
2014, overall tourist arrivals dropped 2.5% in 2015 and 4.5% in 2016. The
tourism sector rebounded in 2017, with visitor arrivals rising 3.2% to 58.47
million. Travelers from Mainland China totaled 44.45 million, accounting for
76% of the total.
The Hong Kong Government is promoting the Special Administrative Region
(SAR) as the preferred business hub for 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, RMB trade settlement is allowed, and investment schemes such as the
Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) Program was first
launched in Hong Kong. Offshore RMB activities experienced a setback, however,
after the People’s Bank of China changed the way it set the central parity rate
in August 2015. RMB deposits in Hong Kong fell from 1.0 trillion RMB at the end
of 2014 to 559 billion RMB at the end of 2017, while RMB trade settlement
handled by banks in Hong Kong also shrank from 6.8 trillion RMB in 2015 to 3.9
trillion RMB in 2017.
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 50% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and
accounted for about 66% 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
(CEPA), 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. On the basis of the Guangdong
Agreement, the Agreement on Trade in Services signed in November 2015 further
enhanced liberalization, including extending the implementation of the majority
of Guangdong pilot liberalization measures to the whole Mainland, reducing the
restrictive measures in the negative list, and adding measures in the positive
lists for cross-border services as well as cultural and telecommunications
services. In June 2017, the Investment Agreement and the Agreement on Economic
and Technical Cooperation (Ecotech Agreement) were signed under the framework
of CEPA.
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 Hong Kong- Shenzhen Stock Connect the Mutual
Recognition of Funds, and the Bond Connect scheme are all important steps
towards opening up the Mainland’s capital markets and have reinforced Hong
Kong’s role as China’s leading offshore RMB market. Additional connect schemes
such as ETF Connect (for exchange-traded fund products) are also under
exploration by Hong Kong authorities. In 2017, Chief Executive Carrie 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.
