Note: Indexes from January 1982 onwards are based on the SITC (Revision 2). Earlier years' indexes are based on SITC (Revised) for comparison with the preVious base year of 1973. * Unit value and quantum indexes for January 1982 onwards have been revised using market price survey data. These indexes are not strictly comparable to those in the past due to expansion of item

coverage as well as the change in method of pricing.

SPECIAL REVIEW

A REVIEW ON THE PERFORMANCE AND INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

This article analyses the performance and structure of the construction sector for the period 1982 to lst quarter 1984 with reference to information obtained from the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors (in respect of the year 1982) and the Quarterly Survey of Construction Output (in respect of the period 1983 to lst quarter 1984).


SPECIAL REVIEW

A REVIEW ON THE PERFORMANCE AND INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

1. Introduction

1.1 Construction covers two broad categories of activities, namely, new construction and maintenance work. New construction includes the erection of new buildings and structures and installation of constituent service facilities such as utility fittings and ventilation systems, as well as all major alterations and additions to existing buildings and structures. Demolition and site formation work preceding the actual erection of buildings and structures is also regarded as new construction. Repair and maintenance work, on the other hand, refers to the restoration of existing buildings and structures to their normal condition.

1.2 Developments in the building and construction sector attract attention because of the sector's significance as a major source of capital investment and its importance as a key indicator of economic development. The sector accounted for about 6. 7% to 7.5% of the total Gross Domestic Product of Hong Kong between 1980 and 1982, which is about one-third of that of the manufacturing sector and roughly the same as that of the transport, storage and communication sector<!).

1.3 The present article is aimed at depicting the performance and structure of the sector during the period 1982 to 1 st quarter 1984. For the year 1982, reference will be made to the statistics obtained from the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. For 1983 to lst quarter 1984, the Quarterly Survey of Construction Output<2 > is the chief source of data.

2. Sub-contracting system in the construction sector

2.1 Sub-contracting is a long established practice in the local construction sector. By sub-contracting some construction work to others, a contractor has greater flexibility in coping with the relatively erratic fluctuations in job orders which characteristise the construction industry. Furthermore, the contractor can save certain overhead costs and have better control of his costs and budget. Contractors find it more economical to engage sub-contractors when necessary than to maintain a large workforce permanently. For the industry as a whole, the sub-contracting system enables a greater mobility of labour and plant resources among the various contracts requiring their specific inputs. This is particularly so for buildings which involve a multitude of techniques with specialized labour and equipment that can hardly be provided by a single contractor.

2.2 A contractor can either be a main contractor or a sub-contractor depending on the role assumed in a construction contract. A main contractor is one who secures a contract directly from the developer or client of the project and sets out to implement the project according to the design and specifications laid down by the architect or client. He assumes full responsibility for its satisfactory completion and ensures that work allocated to sub-contractors is carried out properly. A main contractor at building and construction sites must be registered under the Buildings Ordinance for undertaking site construction in the private sector, or be included in the Lands and Works Lists of Contractors that are eligible for tendering for government building and civil engineering projects.

2.3 A sub-contractor is one who carries out some construction tasks on the instructions of another contractor. In some cases, particularly buildings, the real estate developer may appoint certain sub-contractors to perform such specialized tasks as the installation of lifts, electricity, water supply and drainage systems. These are called nominated sub-contractors. The standards of work of the sub-contractors, whether nominated or not by the real estate developer or client, are the responsibility of the main contractor.

2.4 Sub-contractors may further be distinguished into "fee-sub-contractors" who provide the building materials, labour and other support services as required for the work sub-contracted to them, and "labour-only sub-contractors" who are mostly gang leaders supplying labour to work on a job-to-job basis.

2.5 Within various construction stages, there are some jobs that can be delineated very specifically and be carried out by special trade contractors e.g. concrete work, steel bending, masonry, scaffolding, carpentry, painting, plumbing, gas works, electrical fitting, lift installation, etc. They differ from the general trade contractors, whether they be main or sub-contractors, in that the latter's activities are more general and wide-ranging. A special trade contractor may either serve as a sub-contractor at new construction sites, or as a minor works contractor undertaking maintenance and repairs, fittings, decoration and minor alteration work on existing buildings.

3. Structure of the construction sector

3.1 In 1982, 536 establishments had operated as main contractors and 360 establishments as sub-contractors at building and construction sites. Another 271 establishments were engaged in demolition and minor new construction works, 1 959 establishments in renovation and maintenance at erected buildings and structures, and 2 270 establishments as special trade contractors. The number of persons directly employed by these establishments, their gross value of construction work performed and value added in 1982 are shown in Table 1 below:~

OJ Source: "Estimates of Gross Domestic Product, 1966 to 1983", Census and Statistics Department.

(ZJ Both the Annual Survey and Quarterly Survey are conducted by the Census and Statistics Department. The latter is a new series which was started in 1983 with the purpose of providing a prompt indicator of current output in the construction sector. It supplements the Annual Survey which collects more comprehensive statistics than the Quarterly Survey. In addition to output statistics, the Annual Survey also obtains information on such economic variables as operating outlays and capital expenditures.

tValue added is derived by deducting the value of all intermediate consumption from the gross value of construction work performed. Intermediate consumption includes the consumption of materials and supplies, sub-contract work and other services provided by other establishments.

3.2 The above figures do not include those oflabour-only sub-contractors, which are not directly enumerated in the Annual or Quarterly Survey. However, the output of these sub-contractors and their workers are already included in the gross value of construction work performed by those contractors commissioning their services. Their receipts are basically remunerations for the supply oflabour.

3.3 Compared with pre-erection and erection work at building and construction sites, the sub-contracting system is less prevalent in demolition, minor construction work and renovation and maintenance. Hence, establishments in these activities are not categorized into main and sub-contractors in the Annual or Quarterly Survey.

3.4 It should be noted that a construction establishment may act as a main contractor in one project and as a sub-contractor in another. For the purpose of classification in the Annual or Quarterly Survey, an establishment is classified as a main contractor at building and construction sites if it acted as main contractor for one or more active construction sites during the survey reference period. A further breakdown of the gross value of construction work performed by all contractors (except labour-only sub-contractors) into that performed as main contractors and that as sub-contractors at different types of location in 1982 is given below:~

SPECIAL REVIEW

3.5 Because of the sub-contracting system, there is considerable double-counting in the total gross value of construction work performed by all contractors. To remove this, one only looks at the gross value of construction work performed by establishments acting as main contractors, which was $26,353 million in 1982. Of this, the value of work performed at building and construction sites merits particular attention as an important indicator of new capital formation. Further analysis of the construction work performed by main contractors at building and construction sites is included in Section 4.

4. Performance of the construction sector since 1982

4.1 The output of the construction sector during the period 1982 to lst quarter 1984 was on a declining trend, largely due to the depressed state of the real estate market. Total gross value of work performed by all contractors in 1983 was $34,674 million which represented a decrease of9% from 1982. The drop continued in the first quarter of 1984 as output decreased by 7% from the previous quarter and by 2% compared with the same period of last year.

SPECIAL REVIEW

4.4 The client of a construction project may belong to the public or private sector. The former includes the Building Development Department, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, Engineering Development Department, Housing Department, other Government bodies and the Mass Transit Railway Corporation. Of the total site construction in 1982, public works projects accounted for about 41 % of the total. With the gradual shrinkage of private construction, the share due to public projects increased to 47% in 1983. Major categories of public projects included building of public housing estates and construction of transport infrastructure, notably the Mass Transit Railway Island Line. Private construction, on the other hand, has dropped persistently since 1982 because of the property slump. Compared withA982, the total gross value of work performed by main contractors at private sites was 8% lower in 1983 and the decline continued in lst quarter 1984.

4.5 New construction on buildings accounted for 70% of the total site output in 1982. However, with the occurrence of the property slump, its share dropped to 66% in 1983 and further to 62% in lst quarter 1984. On the other hand, the relative share of structures and facilities showed a corresponding increase. In particular, construction for transport facilities had been on an increasing trend since 1980.

4.6 Among the various categories of building works, residential building was the most important category in terms of output value. In 1982, the category alone accounted for 29% of the total site output performed in the year. A considerable drop in output level (-18%) was experienced in 1983. There was some sign of picking up in lst quarter 1984 when the output value of residential buildings was 4% above that in the previous quarter, although it was still 3% below that in the same quarter last year. Commercial building, the next largest category in terms of output value, exhibited significant slowing down in 1983 with an annual growth of output of only 3% as compared with a growth of 30% for 1982. The level was also very low in lst quarter 1984, being 20% lower than that in 4th quarter 1983 and 51 % lower than that in lst quarter 1983. As regards industrial and storage buildings, the performance was even poorer as output in 1983 decreased by 44%. Output in lst quarter 1984 was 7% below that in the previous quarter and 15% below that in the same quarter last year.

5. Cost composition of the construction sector

SPECIAL REVIEW

5.2 Payment to fee-sub-contractors was the largest outlay of the construction sector, accounting for 33 % of the gross value of work performed. The next largest expenditure item was material consumption, which accounted for 30%. Compensation of employees and payment to labour-only sub-contractors (who would pay the workers under their charge) accounted for some 26%.

5.3 Clearly, new construction work at building and construction sites relies more heavily on sub-contractors than anybody else. Total expenditure on sub-contract work by these establishments was about 41 % of the gross value of work performed. Special trade contractors were the least dependent on sub-contracting, spending only some 10% of the value of gross output on it. Of course, some of these contractors were themselves in fact sub-contractors to others.

5.4 Value added expressed as a percentage of gross output (which may be derived from the statistics in tables 1 and 7) ranged from 32% for contractors of new construction sites to 41 % for the special trade groups, whilst profits averaged around 8% for all activities.

Outlook of the construction sector

5.5 The operational problems presently faced by the contractors are quite different from those they experienced a few years ago when demand for both building and civil engineering construction was at a particularly high level. Today, instead of being troubled by the shortage oflabour, rising labour cost and material prices, contractors are more concerned with the depressed state of the real estate market and the resulting reduction in the demand for construction by the private sector. They are concerned with the likely injection of new public works projects in the near future. With the contraction in the total demand for construction, competition among contractors, both local and from overseas, has become very keen. The profit position of contractors is under pressure. To sustain his competitiveness, a contractor has to implement such measures as more efficient management of resources, more careful costing and budget control, and improvement of overall productivity through the adoption of more advanced technology and a higher degree of mechanization.


EXPLANATORY NOTES

PART I REGULAR TABLES Section 1 CLIMATE Statistics of meteorological observations are taken from the records of the Royal Observatory, King's Park and Waglan Island stations. The normals for various meteorological items refer to the averages during the period 1947-1976.

Section 2 VITAL STATISTICS Statistics relating to births, deaths and marriages refer to such events as were registered with the Director of Immigration during the period covered, and do not necessarily equate exactly to the number of events which occurred during that period. The marriage figures include marriages performed at the official registries and at licensed places of public worship; they include also marriages other than first marriages.

Statistics of deaths by cause are supplied by the Medical and Health Department.

Section 3 LABOUR Labour force statistics refer to the land civilian non-institutional population aged 15 and above. The 1977-1980 annual figures are averages of the March and September Labour Force Surveys while figures for 1981 are averages of the 1981 Population Census and the August to October 1981 General Household Survey. Animal figures for 1982 are averages of the quarterly General Household Surveys. For the quarterly estimates, figures for any two consecutive moving quarters do not reflect the quarterly movements as two months are overlapping in the quarters. To measure quarter-to-quarter changes, comparison should be made of the reference quarter and the quarter three months ago. As the proportion of first-time job-seekers (e.g. people who have just left school) varies from month to month, unemployment rates which have been seasonally adjusted for the variation in first-time job-seekers are given for making comparisons over time.

Prior to April 1980, statistics of employment and vacancies were compiled quarterly from separate employment surveys in various sectors.

Starting from April 1980, statistics of employment, vacancies and payroll were collected quarterly by an integrated survey of employment, vacancies and payroll. In terms of the United Nations International Standard Industnal Classification (1968), the survey covers the following economic sector:

I.S.I.C. Major Division Economic Sector

2 Mining and Quarrying 3 Manufacturing 4 Electricity, Gas and Stearn 6 Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels 7 Transport, Storage and Communication 8 Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services 9 Community, Social and Personal Services

For Major Divisions 7 and 9, the coverage is incomplete. Major expansions of industry coverage in these two major divisions took place in 1970, 1976 and 1977. As for Major Division 8, there was also a major expansion of industry coverage in 1973. Complete coverage of industry was attained in 1975. Economic activities not yet covered by the survey are:

l.S.I.C. Economic Activities Major Division Not Covered

I Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing (whole division) 6 Hawkers; street vendors; retail pitches (other than market stalls); canteens in

plants, offices and schools; restaurants attached to clubs and organizations Taxis, public light buses, marine cargo handling services and tow boats Veterinary services, religious organizations, authors and other independent artists, domestic Serv~nts, and miscellaneous recreational and personal services

For the construction sector, employment statistics are collected for site workers only at building and construction sites which include:

(a) sites in the private sector: all construction sites registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, including those super-structures on sites above the Mass Transit Railway Stations or the Kowloon-Canton Railway Stations which were registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, e.g. those real-estate development projects developed jointly with private developers.

(b) sites in the public sector: all sites under the charge of Building Development Department, Engineering Development Department, New Territories Development Department, Water Supplies Department or Housing Department; including Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation sites not registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, for which construction work was committed, contracted or started before 1.2.1983.

(c) railway construction sites: construction sites contracted out by Mass Transit Railway Corporation and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation that are not registered with Buildings Ordinance Office. In the case of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation sites, only those contracted out after 1.2.1983 are included. Those contracted out before 1.2.1983 are included under (b).

Construction sites for village-type houses registered with the New Territories Administration are excluded. Statistics exclude minor alterations and additions, repairs, maintenance, partitioning and interior decoration work on existing buildings.

Following the re-organization of the Public Works Department into several Departments in April 1982, the description of the statistical series on persons engaged at sites contracted by 'Public Worlcs Department' given in table 3.2 is revised to read as sites contracted by 'other government departments'.

Statistics of employment and vacancies in Government service are compiled from quarterly returns made by Government departments. Classification of Government departments and sections by purpose is based on the System of National Accounts Classification for Goverument expenditure with some modifications. The formerly Kowloon-Canton Railway Department has been separated from the Government with effect from 1.2.1983 and accordingly its employment is excluded from Government employment. The statistical series for "Agriculture, fisheries and forestry" has been revised as from the October 1983 issue of this Digest as a result of the exclusion of two organizations due to reclassification.

An 'establishment' is defined as an economic unit which engages, under a single ownership or control, in one (or predominantly one) kind of economic activity at a single physical location.

'Persons engaged' refer to working proprietors, active business partners, unpaid family workers and all employees of the establishment who are either at work for pay or profit, or are temporarily absent from work, i.e. on short-term leave such as sick leave, casual leave or paid vacation. Excluded are outworkers, and persons on indefinite leave and on pension. Part-time and casual employees and unpaid family workers who worked for less than 3 hours of the normal working time on the reference date are also not included.

'Reported Vacancies' refer to those unfilled, inunediately available job openings for which the establishment is actively trying to recruit personnel.

'Payroll' refers to wages and salaries, bonuses and gratuities, commissions and allowances and cash payment in other forms paid directly to all employees. Profits earned by proprietors and business partners, pensions, and payment to outworkers are however excluded.

Indexes of employment (persons engaged) and total monthly payroll show in percentage terms the current levels of employment and total payroll as compared to those in the base period which were taken to be 100. The 'nominal index of payroll per person engaged' is a derived figure obtained by dividing the employment index into the total payroll index. The 'real index of payroll per person engaged' is obtained by dividing the nominal index by the Consumer Price Index (A) to adjust for changes in purchasing power.

'Payroll per person engaged' should not be interpreted as average income of employees. Firstly, the time period covered by employment figures is not the same as that covered by monthly payroll figures. Employment figures refer to a reference date, while montly payroll is obtained by aggregating cash payments made over the whole month. Secondly, 'payroll' refers to payments to employees, whereas 'persons engaged' includes more than just employees. It also includes working proprietors, business partners and unpaid family members who normally are not on the payroll. Finally, as far as income is concerned, employees' income usually is not just limited to cash payments for work as reflected in payroll figures. Furthermore, because of the fact that 'persons engage4' includes some who are not on the payroll and the magnitude of such persons varies between sectors, comparison of absolute values of payroll per person engaged between sectors is not meaningful. However, movements in the nominal and real indexes of payroll per person engaged can be used as indicators of changes in average earnings of employees provided that the employment structure remains stable over time.

As from June 1980, establishments manufacturing knitwear from yarn were grouped under textiles. Before June 1980, they were grouped under wearing apparel. In the tables, figures before


June 1980 have been adjusted to conform to the new classification scheme so that a continuous series can be obtained.

In 1978, an economic census was conducted for Major Division 6 for the year 1977. Upon analysis of returns, it was found that a number of establishments had changed their activities and/or commodity groups. As the changes were quite extensive and had accumulated over some time, activities of the affected establishments were reclassified with effect from June 1979. Similar reclassification was also made for Major Division 3 by utilizing the product information obtained in the 1978 Survey of Industrial Producation.

Concurrent with September 1982 round of the survey,· an industry updating exercise was performed. Results of this exercise have been used to update information on business activities of each and every establishment in the manufacturing sector (i.e. ISIC Major Division 2, 3 & 4) as from the third quarter of 1983. Statistics since this quarter analysed by industry are therefore not strictly comparable with those in the previous quarters.

To enable users to analyse the effect on the statistical series of this industry updating exercise. statistics for the third quarter of 1983, both before and after incorporating the results of this exercise, are given in the December 1983 issue of the Quarterly Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. At'the same time, indexes of employment, total monthly payroll (nominal) and payroll per person engaged (nominal and real) have been spiced as from the fourth quarter of 1983 in such a way that comparison can be directly made.

Figures of establishments, employment and vacancies refer to March, June, September and December of the year. But prior to the second quarter of 1980, figures for Major Division 7 and 8 referred to February, May, August and November of each year; and those for government service referred to January, April, July and October of each year.

The Census and Statistics Department had, since 1964, compiled and published wage indexes to measure the changes in wage rates, both including and excluding fringe benefits, of manual workers in selected industries mainly in the manufacturing sector, based on the findings of a half-yearly Wage Survey.

In March 1982, a new quarterly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits was introduced to replace the half-yearly Wage Survey. A number of improvements were made, including the collection of statistics on wage rates at more frequent intervals, the use of a larger sample (about 2 OOO establishments) to achieve a higher degree of precision in the estimates for each industry covered, and an extension in coverage to include the non-manufacturing sectors and non-manual workers so as to make the statistics more representative (employees at the administrative and professional levels are, however, still excluded). The details of the differences between the old and the new survey are given in the "Quarterly Report of Wages, Salaries and Employees Benefits Statistics for March, June and September 1982, Volume I".

Based on the findings of the new survey, a Nominal Wage Index and a Real Wage Index are compiled. These wage indexes measure the "pure .. changes in wage rates by holding the structural ·pattern of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment the same as that of March 1982, which is the based period of the Wage Indexes. While the Nominal Wage Index measures the changes in wage rates in money terms, the Real Wage Index, which is obtained by deflating the Nominal Wage Index by the Consumer Price Index (A), measures the changes in the purchasing power of the amount of money earned. Apart from basic wages and salaries, wage rate is defined to include also cost-of-living allowance, meal benefits, commission and tips, good attendance bonus, night shift allowance, year-end bonus and other guaranteed and regular bonuses and allowances. There is no distinction made between wage rates with and without fringe benefits in compiling· the New Wage Indexes. Since all the wage elements mentioned above are included in compiling the New Wage Indexes, they are roughly equal to the definition of the wage rate including fringe benefits in the old survey.

In reading the wage statistics, users are reminded to note that the change in the wage index for a particular industry between any two months may be different from the change derived by comparing the published wage rate figures for that industry of the corresponding months. As the wage index is designed to measure the "pure" change in wage rates by holding constant the structure of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment, the movement as indicated by the wage indexes should always be used to measure changes in wage rates.

There are differences in the interpretation of wage and payroll indexes. Essentially, the wage indexes, which measure the changes in the price of labour, are concerned with the movements of wage rates which indicate the amount of remuneration for normal time of work. On the other hand, per-capita payroll indexes reflect the changes in the amount of cash earnings workers receive during a particular period. The movements of the per-capita payroll indexes are affected by changes in wage rates, as well as changes in such other factors as the amount of time actually worked, the composition of the labour force and the incidence of the payment of bonuses and back-pay. As a result, the movements of the wage indexes do not necessarily agree with those for per-capita payroll.

Statistics on reported accidents, industrial accidents and industrial work stoppages are supplied by the Labour Department.

Reported accidents refer to all accidents reported to the Labour Department which have resulted in the death of an employee or the total or partial incapacity of an employee for more than three days.

Industrial accidents refer to accidents occurred in industrial undertakings and arising out of industrial activities.

Statistics on industrial work stoppages refer to number of work stoppages and the corresponding number of working days (or man-days) classified by International Standard Industrial Classification major divisions. These figures cover stoppages of work arising from disputes connected with terms and conditions of employment. Stoppages involving fewer than ten workers or lasting less than one day are exclucded, unless the aggregate of working days lost exceeds I 00. The number of workers involved is the number who actually cease work at the establishments where the disputes occur.

Section 4 PRODUCTION The indexes of industrial production, which relate to net output at constant prices, are based on results of the Quarterly Survey of Industrial Production, conducted by the Census and Statistics Dep~ent, covering all manufacturing establishments engaging 500 or more persons and a sample of the smaller establishments. The production index for an industry is obtained by aggregating the production quantity relatives or deflated value indexes of the primary products or industrial services of the industry, using sales or work done values as weights. Deflated value indexes are adopted for those heterogeneous products that are not suitable for quantity measurement. Value added is used as weights in aggregating the production indexes of different industries. The weights are derived from the 1981 Survey of Industrial Production.

The indexes of industrial production in Table 4.1 cover the whole manufacturing sector, including the spinning and weaving industries. Statistics for the latter industries are also shown separately in greater detail in the ongoing series oflndex of Textile Production and Textile Production Statistics in Tables 4.2 and 4.3.

Items 3 to 6 in Table 4.3 exclude the contribution from establishments engaged principally in providing supporting services to spinning and weaving, but these establishments are also classified as spinning and weaving establishments and their details included in items I and 2. Examples of such supporting services are: yarn doubling, yarn winding, texturizing, fabric mercerizing, fabric shrinking and webbing. Commodity items with a quantity of less than 100 OOO units are not individually listed. They include materials such as man-made (staple) fibre yarn, woollen yarn, metallic yarn, elastic thread and glass fibre yarn; products such as silk/man-made fibre piecegoods, elastic bands and laces.

Statistics of mining production are supplied by the Commissioner of Mines and those of cement production by the cement manufacturing companies.

Section 5 EXTERNAL TRADE External trade statistics comprise movements of cargo between Hong Kong and other trading partners, by land, air and water and to a limited extent by post, with the exception of the following classes of goods: I. Transhipment cargo under through bill of lading or through air waybill; 2. Transit cargo; 3. Articles imported or exported by the armed forces of the Crown; 4. Ships' stores, including bunker fuel; aircraft stores, including aviation fuel; 5. Personal baggage and possessions of travellers, not including motor vehicles; 6. Advertising materials supplied free of charge and samples of no commercial value or valued at

less than one thousand dollars; 7. Marine fish arriving direct from fishing grounds on fishing craft registered or licensed in Hong

Kong; 8. Gifts of a personal nature where no payment has been made by the receiver; 9. Articles temporarily imported and exported solely for exhibition and subsequent return; 10. Articles (mported or exported under and in accordance with an A.T.A. carnet for the

temporary admission of goods; 11. Circulatory used freight containers and the like; 12. Banknotes after issue into circulation, being legal tender in any country.

The trade ac_counts relate to movements of merchandise only, and do not include those of bullion and specie.

Imports are c.i.f. values, exports and re-exports are f.o. b. values. Due to the adoption of Standard International Trade Classification (Revision 2) as from January

1978, figures for earlier years are not strictly comparable with those for 1978 onwards. The monthly figures are subject to adjustment of errors which may arise from various sources,

such as mis-classification of commodity or country of consignment, wrong reporting of values or quantities, and lodgement of more than one declaration for the same consignment. As from 1978, adjustments to these errors for consignments relating to earlier months are made to the cumulative totals only. It follows that the sums of the monthly figures may differ from the cumulative totals.

The trade index numbers are compiled from value and quantity data as published in the Hong Kong Trade Statistics. The unit values for domestic exports and re-exports are on an f.o.b. (free-onboard) basis while those for imports are on a c.i.f. (cost, insurance and freight) basis.

The unit value for each commodity classification item is the quotient of the value over its corresponding quantity. As such, the unit value series (as opposed to market prices) are not free of the effect of change, especially improvements, in quality or of change in product mix and markets or sources included within a commodity classification.

Quantum index numbers are derived by dividing the value index numbers by corresponding unit value index numbers; and as a result are derived as a residual and subject to the limitations mentioned above. The. unit value index numbers are base-weighted while the quantum index numbers are current-weighted. The monthly value and quantum indexes are derived by comparing trade figures in the current month with the average monthly data of the base year 1981.

As from March 1983, prices of selected imports (c.i.f.) and exports (f.o.b.) were collected and used to compile price indexes. These price indexes which are based on product specifications, are intended to substitute the unit value indexes where problems exist of changes in quality, product mix, markets and sources, etc.

The terms of trade index, which was up to December 1982 the ratio of the unit value index for domestic exports to that for imports, has been re-defined as the ratio of the unit value index for total exports (i.e. domestic exports and re-exports) to that for imports.

For inclusion in the compilation of the trade index numbers, 737 items out of a total of 1 874 items for domestic exports, I 518 out of 3 162 for imports and 1 039 out of 2 638 for re-exports are selected. In terms of value, the selected items accounted for 69 per cent, 71 per cent and 71 per cent for domestic exports, imports and re-exports respectively in the base year 1981.

Index

CPI(A) CPI(B) Hang Seng CPI

Approximate percent of households covered

50 30 10

Monthly expenditure range in 1979 /80

$1,000-$ 3,499 $3,500-$ 6,499 $6,500-$19,999

The remaining 10 percent of households - at top and bottom of the household expenditure scale -are excluded.

A special review article introducing the seasonally adjusted consumer price indexes was published in the May 1983 issue of this Digest. Information on the objectives, method and interpretation of the figures can be found in the article.

The retail sales indexes are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department based on data collected from a monthly survey of retail sales. The survey covers some 1 200 establishments drawn from all the retail establishments registered with the Business Registration Office (BRO) of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), and market stalls registered with the Urban Services Department (USO) and the Housing Department (HD). Excluded from the survey are hawkers, street vendors and retail pitches.

The restaurant receipts indexes are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department based on data collected from a quarterly survey of restaurant receipts and purchases. The survey covers some 750 establishments drawn from all the catering establishments registered with the BRO of the IRD, the USD and the HD. Excluded from the survey are cooked food stalls operated outside the main structure of buildings, canteens attached to organizations open to members only, and catering outlets operated by and situated within hotels.

The value indexes measure the changes in value terms, while the volume indexes obtained by deflating the value indexes by specially constructed price indexes measure the changes in real terms.

Section 9 FINANCE Statistics on the money supply and on banks and deposit-taking companies, in Tables 9.1 to 9.11, are supplied by the Secretary for Monetary Affairs, with the exception of the figures for average liquidity in Tables 9.3 and 9.4, which are supplied by the Commissioner of Banking/Commissioner of Deposit-taking Companies. The Commissioner also supplies the data in Tables 9,11, 9.14-and 9.15. Data supplied by the Secretary for Monetary Affairs are not available before December 1980.

Statistics on the money supply and on banks and deposit-taking companies were previously supplied by the Commissioner of Banking/Commissioner of Deposit-taking Companies: these statistics are not available after December 1981.

The definitions of money supply (Table 9.1) are: Money supply definition 1 (Total): Notes and coins with the public, plus customers' demand deposits with licensed banks.

II

Money su~ply definition 2(Total):M1 plus customers' savings and time deposits with licensed banks, plus negotiable certificates of deposit issued by licensed banks and held outside the monetary sector. Money supply definition 3 (Total): M2 plus customers' deposits with licensed and registered deposit-taking companies plus negotiable certificates of deposit issued by deposit-taking companies held outside the monetary sector. HK$Ml, HK$M2 and HK$M3 are the Hong Kong dollar components of these definitions.

All deposit-taking institutions are defined here to include licensed banks, licensed deposit-taking companies and registered deposit-taking companies.

The banking statistics (Table 9.3) exclude certificates of indebtedness issued by the Exchange Fund, and the equivalent note issue.

The method of com1mting the average liquidity during the month for banks (Table 9.3) and for depos1t-takmg compames (Table 9.4) is prescribed m Section 18 of the Banking Ordinance and in Section 24A of the Deposit-taking Companies Ordinance respectively.

Short-term deposits in deposit-taking companies are demand deposits, deposits repayable within 7 days or at? days' notice or less, and time deposits where the depositors may obtain repayment before maturity.

Bank's quoted best lending rate, which refers to the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation and Chartered Bank's quoted best lending.rate for general guidance of other banks, as well as interest rates paid to depositors are supplied by the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. Interest rates for deposits over 12 months are determined by agreement between individual depositors and the banks concerned.

The inter-bank lending rates are obtained by the Census and Statistics Department from 'Wah Kiu Yat Po'. Figures of bank cheques cleared are supplied by the Clearing House of The Hong Kong Association of Banks.

Liabilities to and claims on banks outside Hong Kong are analysed ·by the country of the branch making or accepting the deposit, and not by the country of that branch's head office-e.g. a claim on the London branch of a US bank is shown against the United Kingdom, and not against the United States. . Claims ~n non-~ank ~ustomers ~ncorporated outside Hong Kong are analysed by the country of mcorporat10n, while claims on unmcorporated customers are analysed by their recorded address. Columns I to 4 of Table 9.14 include liabilities to and claims on the head office (if any) overseas, and on any other branches overseas of the reporting bank in Hong Kong.

The figures for liabilities to banks outside Hong Kong, for claims on banks outside Hong Kong, and for claim~ on non-bank ~usto!llers ?utside Hong Kong in Tables 9.14 and 9.15 do not excactly corres~ond wit~ the appropriate items m Tables 9.3 (Banks) and 9.4 (Deposit-taking Companies) respectively. This results from differences in classification of some accounts.

Statistics of exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar and currencies of selected countries are compiled by t~e ~ensu~ and ~tatistics Department from quotations supplied mainly by the Hang Seng Bank L1m1ted. Figures In Table 9.16 refer to average closing middle-market telegraphic tr~nsfer rates. In Tables 9.17 and 9.18, the effective exchange rate indexes are based on closing m1ddl~-market telegraphic transfer ~ates while other exchange rate figures are closing selling telegraphic transfer rates. The currencies are selected for those countries which are major trading partners of Hong Kong. The exchange rates of the SOR are derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar value of the SOR as published by_ the IMF by the appropriate exchange rates of Hong Kong dollar agamst U.S. dollar as published m the tables. The effective exchange rate indexes measure movements in the weighted average of nominal exchange rates of Hong Kong dollar against the currencies of 15 principal trading partners. The principal trading partners are selected on the basis of their merchandise trade with Hong Kong and their relative importance in world trade. The weighting system derived from the trade pattern in 1981 has been adopted since 3 January 1983. The base date is 18 December 1971 when the Smithsonian Agreement was reached. For more details on the tradeweighted effective exchange rate index, see the Special Review in 'Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics' January 1983. The following table shows the weights attached to each of the three indexes:

Section 10 LAND, HOUSING, BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION Living quarters statistics are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department. A living quarter is defined as 'a dwelling unit used exclusively by one household or shared by a number of households for eating, living and sleeping, internally connected so that the occupants could move between rooms/cubicles without going outside onto a public corridor, landing or staircase, and having direct external access to the street, a corridor, a landing or staircase without going through another household's accommodation'. These statistics include permanent and temporary living quarters for residential purpose only, non-domestic quarters with persons staying overnight a'nd vacant quarters.

Public housing comprises Housing Authority estate blocks, Home Ownership and Housing Society buildings. Statistics on Housing Authority blocks are supplied by the Housing Department; statistics on Housing Society buildings are obtained from the Hong Kong Housing Society and details contained in the monthly returns of the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building Development -Qep3:rtment. With regard to private housing, statistics are supplied by the Lands Department for small village-type houses; for all other private building projects, statistics are compiled from the monthly returns of the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building Development Department.

A building is said to be 'completed' upon the issuance of an Occupation Permit by the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building Development Department in the case of a Housing Society building or a private building (except small village~type houses); and in the case of a small village-type house, a compliance certificate issued by the Lands Department; a Housing Authority block is 'completed' when it has been certified as substantially completed by the Chief Architects of the Housing Department.

'Consents' to commence work are issued by the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building J?evelopm.ent Department for Housing- Society buildings and private buildings except small village-type houses where consents are issued by the Lands Department. In the case of Housing Authority blocks, 'consents' are not required and the date of award of contracts by the Housing Authority is taken as the consent date.

The 'usable floor area' of a flat is defined as the total floor area within the flat excluding any staircases, lavatories, water closets, kitchens and other common areas of the building.

The 'lettable floor area' of a fiat refers to the total floor area inside the flat measured to the outside of the external walls and to the centre lines of the party walls, including the balcony, kitchen and water closet inside the flat. All common areas of the building are excluded.


The 'gross floor area' of a building is defined as 'the aggregate of the areas of the floor(s) in a buildin .'

Buil:Jkg statistics in Tables 10.7 and 10.8 include only building activities in the private sector but exclude small village-type houses.

Statistics on the gross value of construction work performed are obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Construction Output conducted by the Census and Statistics Department since 1983 for the purpose of providing a prompt indicator of current developments and output trends in the construction industry. All main contractors of building and construction sites, irrespective of their employment sizes, and other construction establishments engaging 100 persons or more are fully enumerated in the Survey. As regards the other establishments in the frame, a random sample stratified by trade and employment size is enumerated. New construction work and renovation and maintenance includes the erection of new buildings and structures and installation of service facilities such as utility fittings and ventilation systems, major alteration and conversion works on existing structures, demolition, site formation, piling and other sub-structure work preceding the actual erection of structures, and the restoration of existing buildings and structures to normal condition. Special trades refer to those contractors that specialize in delineated job areas such as steel bending, scaffolding, masonry, carpentry and painting. A main contractor IS one who enters into a contract directly with a real estate developer or client of the project, as distinct from a sub-contractor who obtains the job from another contractor. Because of the sub-contracting system in the construction sector, there is some element of double-counting in the total gross value of construction work performed by all contractors. To serve certain data uses, separate statistics covering activities of main contractors only are shown.

Statistics on disposals of Crown land ·are supplied by the Lands Department. Letter 'A' and 'B' tender system in the New Territories: when it is necessary for Government to

acquire land for public purposes the Government exercises its power under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance. Where land is required within an area embraced by an approved layout plat!, the policy is to give the lessee of private land the opportunity of surrendering his land voluntarily in exchange for the right to be granted Crown land at some future date. This right is contained in a Letter called Letter 'A' or Letter 'B'.

The realised premium ofland acquired by a land exchange entitlement is calculated by deducting the Government's value of the resumed land from the value of the land to be granted prevailing at the time when the exchange entitlement letter was issued. The realised premium of land acquired through auction or public tender is the auctioned/tendered price of the land.

Land for special low cost housing projects, Home Ownership Schemes, for public utilities, schools, churches, temples, clinics welfare and certain charitable purposes is usually granted by private treaty, and in such cases, the premium charged varies from nothing for non-profit-making purposes up to the full market value for public utilities.

Section 11 TRAVELLING AND TOURISM Statistics on arrivals and departures of passengers by air, sea and land are compiled from the reports of the Immigration Department and refer exclusively to international movements of passengers. Particulars on incoming visitors and hotels are supplied by the Hong Kong Tourist Association.

These statistics are revised from time to time as information on current situation of hotel industry becomes available. Room occupancy rate is based on surveys conducted monthly among HKTA members.

Section 12 SOCIAL STATISTICS Statistics of reported crime are supplied by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and the Independent Com.mission Against Corruption. If a person is prosecuted on two or more occasions he is recorded once on each occasion; and when a person is prosecuted on the same occasion for two or more offences, one offence is selected for tabulation.

Statistics on public assistance schemes and special needs allowance schemes are supplied by the Social Welfare Department.

Section 13 ENERGY Statistics on electricity and gas are supplied by the public utilities companies and those on petroleum products are obtained from the monthly returns submitted by the leading petroleum companies.

Section 14 MISCELLANEOUS Government revenue and expenditure statistics are supplied by the Treasury; the analyses of

revenue by source and expenditure by functional purpose are made by the Census and Statistics Department.

Information on instruments registered and companies registered and dissolved is supplied by the Registrar General. The terms used in Table 14.3 are explained as follows: 'Assignment': a deed transferring property from one part to another. 'Lot': a piece of Crown land originally granted by the Government by auction, tender or private treaty grant. 'Share of lot': a lot can be shared jointly by two or more persons, the entitlement of each is called a share oflot. Unlike a 'section', a share is just a percentage value with no explicit boundary defined as in a 'section'. Assigrunents of discrete fiats are included here if the relevant building is located in an undivided lot. 'Section': a lot can be carved into a number of smaller parts called sections.The sections may be of varying size and the area of each is clearly defined and labelled accordingly. 'Share of section': same meaning as 'share of lot' except that the land is a section instead of a lot. Assignments of discrete fiats are included here if the relevant building is located in a particular section of a lot. 'Building mortgages': mortgages secured for the purpose of financing building construction. 'Mortgages other than building mortgages': highly varied and the mortgagee is not obliged to state the purpose of the mortgage. Many of these relate to mortgage arrangements for the purchase of residential fiats and other building premises. 'Reassignment and certificates of satisfaction':-.vhen a loan is fully repaid and the mortgage redeemed, a 'reassignment' or 'certificate of satisfaction' will be prepared and registered at the Land Office. 'Agreements for sale and purchase': an agreement for future sale or purchase of property. The property may be a building under construction or a completed building. 'Tenancy agreements': agreement between a lessor and lessee concerning property letting. 'Exclusion orders issued under the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance': landlords of pre-war buildings who wanted to re-develop the property have to apply for an Exclusion Order with respect to Part One of the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance which mainly protects the interests of the existing tenants. 'Miscellaneous': all other types of transaction. Statistics on water supplies are supplied by the Water Supplies Department and refer to fresh water supply only (while salt water for flushing purposes is excluded). The maximum capacity of the existing 18 storage reservoirs is 577 .896 million cubic metres; before storage at the High Island Reservoir (since August 1977) began the maximum capacity was 305.396 million cubic metres. Figures for water imported from China are slightly different from those published in Hong Kong Trade Statistics. They refer to the quantity of water received from 09:00 hours on the first day of the month up to 09:00 hours on the first day of the following month whereas those published in the Hong Kong Trade Statistics represent the quantity of water paid for from the morning on the last day of the previous month to the morning on the last day of the month.

The fire services statistics are supplied by the Fire Services Department and refer to operational and preventive work.

PART II SPECIAL TABLES Section 15 POPULATION The de facto method was applied in the population censuses; that is to say, all persons who were actually found within the territory at the census moment, regardless of whether they were local nationals, permanent foreign residents or transients, were included.

The mid-year and end-year_ population figures are estimated by adjusting the 1981 Population Census results for total births, death and balance of migration whether legal or illegal, over the period.


The mid-year or end-year estimates are de facto. They include local nationals, permanent foreign residents as well as transients at a point of time, i.e. 30 June or 31 December each year.

The birth rates, death rates, rates of natural increase and infant mortality rates refer to calendar years and were calculated by relating the known births and deaths for each year to the respecitve mid-year population. Births and deaths of Vietnamese refugees were excluded. The population growth rates refer to annual periods from 1 July to 30 June.

Section 16 EDUCATION Statistics of schools and enrolment are supplied by the Education Department except those for the Universities and Polytechnic which are supplied by the University and Polytechnic Grants Committee. The figures for institutes and enrohnent by type of education refer to both day and evening classes. Enrolment for the Universities include undergraduates and postgraduates but exclude participants of extra-mural courses. Post-secondary colleges include the approved private post-secondary colleges and schools operating courses at the posHecondary level.

Section 17 NATIONAL ACCOUNTS Gross domestic product is an aggregate measure of the value of goods and services produced by residents within the domestic boundary of a country or a territory, net of their imported contents, before provision for depreciation (or capital consumption). Gross domestic product at current market prices is valued at current penod transaction prices, inclusive of indirect taxes less government subsidies. The constant price estimates are obtained by deflating the current price estimates of different categories of goods and services by the appropriate price indexes or by revaluing current period quantities at base year prices.

Estimates of gross domestic product are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department using both the expenditure approach and the production approach.

I. Expenditure-based estimates The expenditure-based estimates measure the total value of goods and services produced for final

use, net of their imported contents, and comprise the following major components:

( 1) Private consumption expenditure: This covers all expenditure by the household sector, including private non-profit making bodies,

on goods and services for current use. It is the sum of the estimates of consumption expenditure on goods and services in the domestic market and the expenditure of Hong Kong residents abroad less the expenditure of non-residents in the domestic market.

Data sources for compiling the estimates include trade statistics, administrative statistics from government departments and various organizations, data collected from economic censuses/Sur· veys, household surveys and other expenditure surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department.

(2) Government consumption expenditure:

Government consumption expenditure refers to the current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading government departments. Trading departments are distinguished from non-trading departments in that the former are engaged mainly m the production of goods and services for sale to the public.

Current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading departments is the sum of compensation of employees and purchases of goods and services less receipts from sales of goods and services. The estimates are compiled based on an analysis of government accounts and other supplementary information supplied by government departments. Disbursements which are transfer payments are not included.

( 3) Gross domestic fixed capital formation:

This represents the gross value (i.e. no allowance being made for capital consumption) of investment expenditure in land, building and construction, real estate developers' margin, plant, machinery and equipment by the public and private sectors.

Transfer cost of land and buildings are the expenditure incurred in connection with transfer of ownership ofland and buildings. Building and construction estimates for years from 1979 onwards were based on the results of the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sector. For the earlier years, private sector building and construction estimates are based on statistical information from the Building Ordinance Office and results of the annual/quarterly surveys conducted on the construction sector by the Census and Statistics Department. Estimates for the public sector are derived from data obtained from the government accounts and the Mass Transit Railway Corporation. Real estate developers' margin is the difference between the selling price of the newly developed property and its land and construction cost which is taken as the measure of the ~i:S~.'.ti=:.~esR~~ ~~t:: S::,~. developers. Data are collected from the Survey of Building,

Investment in plant and machinery is compiled from trade statistics, data from the government accounts and statistics on local production.

( 4) Increase in stocks:

The estimates refer to the change in the value of work-in-progress and stocks of goods held by manufacturers and distributors. The information is based on the opening and closing book values of stocks reported by the establishments in censuses/surveys. Increase in stocks reflects changes in the physical quanti~ of stocks. ·Adjustments have b"."11 made for stock appreciation (i.e. the mcrease/decrease m value of stocks attributed to pnce changes) by revalwng the opening and closing stocks at the average current prices of the period.

( 5) Exports of goods less imports of goods:

Exports of goods include domestic exports and re-exports of merchandise recorded on an f.o. b. basis, exclusive of monetary gold. Imports of goods are valued at c.i.f., covering all merchandise imports and a proportion of retained imports of gold which is considered as non-monetary.

( 6) Exports of services less imports of services:

These comprise transactions in services between Hong Kong residents and the rest of the world. Data for compiling various items of imports and exports of services originate from the Hong Kong Tourist Association, various sources of administrative statistics, and the Survey of Imports and Exports of Services.

The expenditure-based estimates presented in this edition are based on the revised series, replacing the original series published in the previous editions, i.e. 1983 and before.

II. Production-based estimates

The production-based estimates measure the sum of 'value-added' or 'net output' of all productive units in the economy, for example factories, shops, service organizations. The value-added of a productive unit is equal to the value of total production by the unit (gross output) less the value of materials and services consumed in the process of production (intermediate input). Value-added can be equated with the sum of 'compensation of employees' and 'operating surplus'; the former includes wages and salaries, payments in kind and employer's expenditure on social security and the latter refers basically to profits of the productive units subject to detailed definitional adjustments. Data sources for coml'i!ing the estimates are based on economic censuses and surveys conducted by the Census & Statistics Department, government accounts and other administrative records. A full set of production-based estimates for all economic sectors is available from the reference year 1980 onwards while for the earlier years, the estimates are available for selected sectors only.

Economic sectors covered by the production-based estimates are classified broadly into the following; agriculture and fishin~ ~g and quarrying; manufacturing; electricity, gas and water; construction;. wh?lesale ll1lil: retajl, unport/export trades, resb!urants and hotels; transport, storage and comm.umcatJ.on; financmg, msurance, real estate and business services; comm.unity social and personal ~ices; ~wn~ship of I?remises and the no~ sector. Ownership of premises is treated as an econormc activity m the national accounts. This sector covers rental services which owners of premises like households, government and private non-profit making organization provide to themselves and rental services provided to tenants by owners of premises in their individual capacity. An imputed estimate of rent is introduced into the national income calculations to reflect the value of services rendered by the former kind of properties. The nominal sector may be described as a provision for the adjustment for financial services. An imputed service charge, equal to net inter".'t receipts (~terest received minus interest paid) is included in valuing the output of the bankmg sector. It is necessary to charge other economic sectors for the use of this imputed service. However, there is virtually no basis to enable this allocation to be made, and the internationally accepted practice is to create a dummy or nominal account to which is debited the total imputed banking charge. The value-added of the nominal sector is negative and is of the same magnitude as the imputed banking charge.

Further details on the methods and data sources for compiling the estimates of gross domestic product are contained in the publication 'Estimates of gross domestic product, 1966-1983'.
