  • Switzerland and Hongkong Strengthen Their Cooperation in Financial Markets
    Switzerland and Hong Kong strengthen their cooperation in financial markets On 23 January 2018, Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer and Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR, met in Bern to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the area of financial markets and to exchange views on international financial and tax matters. Authorities and private sector representatives from Hong Kong and Switzerland signed three Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) during the meeting. During their meeting, Switzerland's Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer and Hong Kong's Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam discussed topics including the further development of the two financial centres, the opportunities arising from the opening-up of the financial markets in Mainland of the People’s Republic of China, developments in the fintech sector and international tax issues. They also reaffirmed their commitment to further enhance bilateral collaboration to promote the healthy development of the financial services industry in and between Switzerland and Hong Kong. Hong Kong and Switzerland held an official financial dialogue for the first time in September 2017, during which the two places agreed to further formalise bilateral financial collaboration. Three MoUs were signed today. The first MoU, signed by Norman Chan, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and Jörg Gasser, Head of the Swiss State Secretariat for International Financial Matters (SIF), serves as the basis for regular financial dialogue and sets out the parties' willingness to strengthen financial markets cooperation, including in the area of RMB internationalisation, wealth management, infrastructure financing and international financial matters. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) also signed an MoU with the HKMA to enhance fintech collaboration with a view to facilitating financial innovation in the two places.

  • Hong Kong E-News Bulletin January 3, 2018
    Hong Kong e-News Bulletin January 3, 2018 HONG KONG NEWS Co-operation Arrangement for XRL co-location arrangement The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) approved the Co- operation Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on the Establishment of the Port at the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) for Implementing Co-location Arrangement (Co-operation Arrangement) on December 27, 2017. HKSAR Government welcomes the decision made by NPCSC. The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, said that this signified the accomplishment of the second step in the "Three-step Process" to provide a firm legal basis for the implementation of co-location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station (WKS). Mrs Lam further noted that there is no more doubt that co-location arrangement at the WKS to enable passengers travelling on the XRL to complete clearance procedures of both Hong Kong and the Mainland at the station in one go is the best way to optimise the transport, economic and social benefits of the XRL. This arrangement has received majority support in the community. Construction works of the Hong Kong Section of the XRL, which started in 2010, are now roughly 98 per cent completed. The Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited is confident to commission this very important piece of railway project in the third quarter of 2018. The HKSAR Government will strive to introduce the Bill to implement co-location arrangement at the WKS pursuant to the NPCSC's Decision and the approved Co- operation Arrangement into LegCo no later than early February 2018.

  • A Case Study of Hong Kong SAR and Its Implications to Chinese Foreign Policy
    Paradiplomacy and its Constraints in a Quasi-Federal System – A Case Study of Hong Kong SAR and its Implications to Chinese Foreign Policy Wai-shun Wilson CHAN ([email protected]) Introduction Thank for the Umbrella Movement in 2014, Hong Kong has once again become the focal point of international media. Apart from focusing the tensions built among the government, the pro-Beijing camp and the protestors on the pathway and the pace for local democratization, some media reports have linked the movement with the Tiananmen Incident, and serves as a testing case whether “One Country, Two Systems” could be uphold under the new Xin Jinping leadership.1 While academics and commentators in Hong Kong and overseas tend to evaluate the proposition from increasing presence of Beijing in domestic politics and the decline of freedoms and rights enjoyed by civil society,2 little evaluation is conducted from the perspective of the external autonomy enjoyed by Hong Kong under “One Country, Two Systems”. In fact, the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the subsequent Basic Law have defined and elaborated the scope of Hong Kong’s autonomy in conducting external relations ‘with states, regions and relevant international organizations.’ 3 It is therefore tempted to suggest that the external autonomy enjoyed by Hong Kong SAR Government serves as the other pillar of “One Country, Two Systems”, giving an unique identity of Hong Kong in global politics which may be different from that possessed by mainland China. Though officially “One Country, Two Systems” practiced in Hong Kong (and Macao) is not recognized by Beijing as a federal arrangement between the Central People’s Government and Hong Kong SAR Government, the internal and external autonomy stipulated in the Basic Law gives Hong Kong similar, to some extent even more, power as a typical federated unit.

    June 2008 in Hong Kong 30.06.2008 / No 54 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance April retail sales up 18.7pc helped by tourist arrivals: HK retail sales in April rose 18.7% by value from a year earlier, marginally lower than expectations and slowing slightly from March growth but still robust as a tight labour market boosted wages and the city hosted plenty of tourists. March sales rose by a revised 20% from a year earlier. Retail sales by value climbed to HK$22.8 billion, the government said. Tax issues pose big obstacle in HK push into Islamic finance: In its race to tap into the estimated US$1 trillion Islamic finance market, HK faces a sizeable hurdle - taxes. And, said Eddie Yue, a deputy chief executive of the HK Monetary Authority, it is an issue both the Inland Revenue Department and the legislature may have to tackle. Last year, Hang Seng Bank launched the first Islamic index-tracking fund. Then, in March, an exchangeable sukuk - the Islamic equivalent of a bond - launched in Malaysia was listed in HK. Now, the Airport Authority is aiming to launch the city's first Islamic bond as early as in the third quarter. GDP rises 9.6pc to HK$409.3b in first quarter: HK’s gross domestic product increased by 9.6 per cent to HK$409.3 billion in the first quarter compared with a year earlier.

  • Report Are Those of the Authors and Do Not Necessarily Represent the Opinions of Civic Exchange
    Hong Kong’s Budget: Challenges and Solutions for the Longer Term Tony Latter Leo Goodstadt Roger Nissim February 2009 www.civic-exchange.org Civic Exchange Room 701, Hoseinee House, 69 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: (852) 2893 0213 Fax: (852) 3105 9713 Civic Exchange is a non-profit organisation that helps to improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange. Preface The government’s budget is a political document. It provides financial resources for the achievement of government policies. Irrespective of high sounding commitments, the resources set aside for them indicate the degree of seriousness. How the government views what it will, and can, afford to fund is bound up with its philosophy on budgetary issues. Much of this philosophy has not changed for decades. What is particularly noteworthy is the lack of debate about the underlying assumptions behind the government’s philosophy. Even though there are contending views in society, as can be seen from the many criticisms of government policies and frequent acrimonious exchanges between officials and legislators, there has been little serious, sustained deliberation and debate about the policies and financing of long-term issues, such as those relating to demographic changes and the public services needed to meet them. This publication is Civic Exchange’s contribution to that much needed debate. We hope this will be useful to government officials, legislators, political parties, students and members of the public who have an interest in local affairs.
