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.

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.

 

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.

 

BASF currently has subsidiaries in over 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, 2017, the sales of the Group amounted to €64.5 billion, increased by 12.0% as compared with €57.6 billion in FY 2016; income from operation [EBIT] was €8.5 billion, increased by 34.9% as compared with €6.3 billion in FY 2016.

 

In 2017, the Group generated 45% of its sales (excluding Oil & Gas) with customers in Europe.  In addition, 24% of sales were generated in North America; 22% in Asia Pacific; and 9% in South America, Africa, and the Middle East.

 

BASF supplies products and services to around 130,000 customers from various sectors in almost every country in the world.

 

BASF also works with over 70,000 suppliers from different sectors worldwide.

For the year 31st December, 2017, the Group had 115,490 employees worldwide.

The history of BHKL in Hong Kong is over 40 years and five months.

On the whole, in view of the parentage of BHKL, consider it good for normal business engagements.
