  • September 2007 in Hong Kong 28.09.2007 / No 45
    September 2007 in Hong Kong 28.09.2007 / No 45 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance Guangdong urged to attract small businesses: Guangdong officials should try to attract more small- and medium-sized enterprises from HK under the Cepa framework to boost the province's service industry, a new report says. HK invested only US$163 million in Guangdong under the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (Cepa) between 2003 and March this year - just a fraction of the US$1.2 billion of HK capital that entered the province through direct investment. This was because of limitations set by local governments and "hidden regulations" in the services sector which had discouraged HK companies, the report said. Retail sales in July jump 14.2 per cent: Retail sales in July totalled HK$21.3 billion in HK, up 14.2% from a year ago. The HK Retail Management Association said the result was in line with its own estimates. Retail sales in the first seven months of this year were up 10% in value year on year. HK invests in its future (Wall Street Journal, 12.9.2007): By acquiring a small stake in the city’s stock exchange, HK’s government is trying to grapple with a big and increasingly urgent challenge: to avoid being sidelined by the astonishing transformation and growth of china’s financial markets. Investors have greeted the stake purchase as a sign of hope, not defense. HKEx chief urges single China market: HK and the mainland should develop a single China market that could challenge the trading power of exchanges in New York, Tokyo and London, the chairman of the local bourse said.

Driven by our customer-centric approach to architectural design and service excellence over the past six decades, we have built a thriving portfolio of world-class properties and an exceptionally talented workforce who live up to our core values of sustainability, excellence, openness and integrity. Our rich history is the inspiration behind this year’s theme of “60 Years of Heritage, Infinite Possibilities” – one you will find illustrated throughout the 2020 annual reports for Hang Lung Group Limited and Hang Lung Properties Limited. The number “60” and “∞” symbol featured on this year’s cover pages represent our properties’ unique aesthetic design in Hong Kong and mainland China. The former denotes the milestone anniversary of the Hang Lung Group while the latter represents the infinite possibilities that lie ahead in the next 60 years – a sentiment also reflected in the close connection between the “6” and “0” on the Hang Lung Group report cover. Inside the covers, photos depicting our world-class properties and talented people – the backbone of our 60 years of growth and success – are masterly incorporated throughout the pages of both reports. Linking up different sections are dividers themed on our core values, which are designed as icons that are inspired by the meaning of the values and our properties’ signature design features.
