    List of Contents The year 2002 in review Major events of Hong Kong securities market 2002 Market highlights Cash market - Main board Cash market - Growth enterprise market (GEM) Derivatives market Clearing statistics Exchange participants The investing community Hong Kong stock market historical events Appendices The Year 2002 in Review The Year The Year 2002 in Review The Hong Kong economy remained weak in 2002 but trade figures began to turn around in the second half of the year. Benefiting from the weakening US dollar and strong demand in the Mainland of China, Hong Kong’s total exports regained double-digit growth over a year earlier in the third quarter of 2002. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate also fell from its historical peak of 7.8% in July 2002 to 7.2% in December 2002. However, the domestic sector remained sluggish in both investment and consumer spending. The latest economic forecast suggests a 2% growth in real terms of GDP and a 3% decline in the Composite Consumer Price Index for 2002. The trading performance of the Hong Kong securities and futures markets further weakened during the year. Hang Seng Index fell 18.2% from the previous year to end at 9,321.29. The average daily turnover of the Main Board also declined to HK$6,474 million, 19.3% less than that in 2001. The GEM Index ended at 110.4 at end of December 2002, representing a decrease of 44.6% from the previous year. The average daily turnover of the GEM improved slightly to HK$178 million in 2002, an increase of 9.9% from 2001.

    The Yet-To-Be Effective but Effective Tax: Hong Kong's Buyer's Stamp

    The Yet-to-be Effective But Effective Tax: Hong Kong’s Buyer’s Stamp Duty as A Critical Case Study of Legislation by Press Release Jianlin Chen ** When a government announces that an existing law will be amended, and that the amendment, when finally enacted by the legislature, will be made effective from the announcement date, it is natural and inevitable that private entities will conduct their activities on the basis of the amended law immediately upon the announcement date, notwithstanding the announcement’s lack of any formal legal effect. This practice of effecting immediate de facto legal changes is known derisively, but perhaps aptly, as “legislation by press release.” This Article utilizes the recent use of legislation by press release to implement the Buyer’s Stamp Duty in Hong Kong as a case study to critically examine the legality and normative considerations of this increasingly common but under-theorized practice. Legally, this Article argues that the prospective notice provided by the initial announcement ensures the practice’s legality in all but an explicit prohibition of retrospective civil legislation. Normatively, this Article highlights the various criteria of clarity, consistency, necessity and political dynamic that affect the desirability of the practice. On a broader note, the formal retrospectivity inherent in the practice - but which does not disrupt the reliance interests of private entities - provides a useful reexamination of the conventional aversion towards retrospective laws. **Assistant Law Professor (University of Hong Kong), JSD Candidate (University of Chicago), LLM (University of Chicago), LLB (University of Singapore).
