1. Introduction 1.1 This report contains the latest statistics on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Hong Kong compiled by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD). Data series of GDP by expenditure component and by economic activity are presented. GDP by expenditure component includes (1) annual series from 1961 to 2004 and (2) quarterly series from the first quarter of 1973 to the fourth quarter of 2004. As for GDP by economic activity, data presented in this report include (1) annual series at current prices from 1980 to 2003 and (2) annual and quarterly series at constant prices from the first quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of 2004. Statistics on Gross National Product (GNP) for 2000 to 2004 and the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2004 are also presented in Section 6 of this report. Conceptual framework and methods of compiling GDP 1.2 The compilation framework of GDP accords essentially with the international statistical standards as stipulated in the System of National Accounts. GDP is a measure of the total value of production of all resident producing units of a country or territory in a specified period, before deducting allowance for consumption of fixed capital. A producing unit is considered as resident in a country or territory if it maintains a centre of economic interest in the economic territory of that country or territory. The economic territory of a country or territory consists of the geographic territory administered by a government within which persons, goods and capital circulate freely. GDP can be measured using different approaches. In Hong Kong, annual GDP at current and constant prices are compiled using the expenditure approach and the production approach. For quarterly GDP, constant price figures are compiled using both approaches while quarterly GDP at current prices is compiled using the expenditure approach only. 1.3 The GDP compiled from the expenditure approach is computed as total final expenditures on goods and services (including private consumption expenditure, government consumption expenditure, gross domestic fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, and exports of goods and services), less imports of goods and services. It shows final demand for goods and services by type. Under the production approach, GDP is the sum of the value added of resident producing units, e.g. factories, shops, service organisations. Value added is defined as the value of gross output less the value of intermediate consumption (the value of goods and services used up in the course of production). From an alternative angle, value added can be seen as the sum of factor incomes, i.e. compensation of employees (wages, salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, etc.) and gross operating surplus (the value attributed to non-labour factors of production inclusive of the allowance for consumption of fixed capital). The GDP by economic activity shows the contribution of individual economic activities to the total GDP. 1.4 Under the expenditure approach, GDP is measured as the total value of goods and services produced for final use, net of their import content. Goods and services for final use include those consumed by households and government, those for capital formation and those for export. Domestically produced goods and services used as input in producing other domestically produced goods and services are excluded. The determination of which goods and services are for intermediate consumption in producing other goods and services would appear straightforward, but problems sometimes arise. For instance, cloth used in the manufacture of clothing is obviously input, but cloth bought by a household to be made into an article of clothing is for final use. Often there are problems in obtaining accurate data on how goods and services are used. As regards the removal of import content of goods and services for final use, it is not practical to do so in respect of individual items. Rather, the deduction is made at the aggregate level by deducting the value of all imports of goods and services from the value of all goods and services for final use.

1.5 The problem of classifying goods and services between final use and intermediate use does not arise under the production approach because of its use of the “value added” concept, under which that part of the value of a producing unit’s output attributable to other producers is excluded. Hence, the direct summation of value added of all producing units will give an unduplicated measure of output of the economy. 1.6 GDP can be valued either at market prices or at factor cost. At market prices it is valued at market or imputed prices and is thus inclusive of customs and excise duties and taxes on production. At factor cost it is valued at the cost of the various factors of production. Hence they differ by the amount of taxes on production and imports. 1.7 GDP figures may be expressed at current prices or at constant prices. In a constant price data series, the effects of price changes are eliminated and the series reflects the real changes (i.e. the changes in the volume) of goods and services produced from period to period. In Hong Kong, data series of GDP by expenditure component at constant prices are available since reference year 1961 while GDP by economic activity at constant prices are available since reference year 2000. The base year of the constant price series is 2000. 1.8 The compilation of GDP is a technical exercise. It follows basically the international standard as laid down in the System of National Accounts, being the results of research and consultations amongst statistical experts in many different countries or territories. Nevertheless, there are differences in economic structure and commercial practices in different economies so that the technical standard has to be adapted to suit local circumstances. 1.9 The compilation of GDP using the expenditure approach is based on many different sources of data including industrial and commercial establishment surveys, household expenditure surveys, government accounts, trade statistics and other administrative sources. Annual data series of GDP by expenditure component are presented in Tables 1 to 10, while quarterly series are presented in Tables 11 to 13. Annual figures in respect of 2004 are preliminary and are available for the major aggregates only. 1.10 Annual data series of GDP by economic activity at current prices are compiled mainly based on data collected from the Programme of Annual Economic Surveys (PAES) and administrative records. The PAES now covers all major economic activities. Data sources for compiling quarterly constant price GDP by economic activity mainly include quarterly and monthly surveys on industrial/business establishments and on households, government accounts and administrative data from government departments and other organisations. Annual constant price GDP by economic activity is the sum of the quarterly figures of the reference year. Annual data series of GDP by economic activity at current prices are presented in Tables 14 to 16 while annual and quarterly series at constant prices are presented in Tables 17 to 18. 1.11 Prior to 1980, annual GDP by economic activity at current prices and by factor income were compiled. The sources of information included tax statistics, population censuses, and employment and earnings surveys. There were, however, serious limitations in the data and in the methods of estimation. The estimates were produced, nevertheless, in the absence of anything better, to serve as a rough guide to the relative importance of different economic activities. Since the production approach has now been fully developed, this interim series is discontinued, but some data for selected years during 1970-1980 are presented in Section 5 of this report to give an idea of the changes in the economic structure of Hong Kong over that period. 1.12 On 1 July 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. In respect of statistics in this series of report, “Hong Kong” stands for the Hong Kong

9

Special Administrative Region with effect from July 1997. Data on transactions vis-à-vis the mainland of China are treated as international transactions (e.g. trade in goods and trade in services). Nomenclature, revision and publication of GDP statistics 1.13 To achieve a balance between timeliness and data quality, the C&SD follows the international practice to compile and release GDP figures at the earliest possible time by using partial data, and revise these figures as more information become available. In Hong Kong, the first released GDP statistics are called “Preliminary figures”. The subsequently revised GDP statistics are called “Revised figures”. GDP statistics with data from all regular sources incorporated are called “Final figures”. As an illustration, GDP by expenditure component for 2004 and 2003 in this report are respectively preliminary figures and revised figures, while those for 2002 and before are final figures. 1.14 At present, preliminary figures for annual GDP by expenditure component are released about two months after the reference year (i.e. in March of the following year). For annual GDP by economic activity at current prices, preliminary figures are available about eleven months after the reference year. Subsequently, both sets of annual GDP figures are revised based on latest information available until they become final figures around the third March after the reference year. 1.15 Preliminary figures for quarterly GDP by expenditure component are released about two months after the reference quarter. The quarterly data will be revised and released based on latest information available, in particular when the annual data are incorporated. Quarterly GDP statistics are published in the quarterly report on Gross Domestic Product. 1.16 Preliminary figures for quarterly GDP by economic activity at constant prices are released slightly less than three months after the reference quarter. The time lag for producing GDP by economic activity is longer than that of GDP by expenditure component. This is because the estimates of the quarterly GDP by economic activity at constant prices are mainly compiled from various surveys on firms, for which more time is normally required for the companies to report data to the C&SD. 1.17 In addition to the above routine revisions, major revisions are introduced once in a number of years to incorporate new data sources, improved estimation methods, and changes in definitions and classifications which are results of continuous research and development on the GDP compilation framework. This is in line with international practice to improve the quality and reliability of GDP statistics. 1.18 The C&SD has conducted six rounds of major revision of Hong Kong’s GDP so far. Results of these revisions were released in 1980, 1984, 1987, 1991, 1994 and 2002 respectively. 1.19 The estimates of exports of services and private consumption expenditure for 2002 to 2004 have been revised to incorporate the revised data series on destination consumption expenditure of incoming visitors and travellers released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The revision to the tourism data is mainly due to the adoption of enhanced estimates of spending of Mainland visitors. 1.20 With the introduction of the quarterly constant price GDP by economic activity in August 2002, the practice of using GDP compiled from the expenditure approach as the single measure of GDP is to continue. GDP compiled from the expenditure approach has been produced for a long time, providing a timely and accurate measure of economic growth in real terms. 1.21 GDP by economic activity in real terms is compiled to support sectoral analyses. In presenting GDP by economic activity, the sum of value added of respective economic activities plus taxes on production and imports plus statistical discrepancy is equal to the GDP.

1.22 Statistical discrepancy refers to the difference in values of GDP compiled using the expenditure and production approaches, as a result of the adoption of different data sources and estimation methods. The differences for the period 1980-2003 between the current price GDP compiled using the expenditure approach and the production approach are generally within 2% (Table 14). This is considered quite satisfactory by international standard. Ideally, if complete and accurate data were available, GDP figures using different approaches would be identical. In practice, however, data sources and methods of estimation are subject to limitations and imperfections. As a result, different approaches of compilation do not give identical results. When GDP figures using alternative approaches differ widely, the sources and methods of both approaches have to be thoroughly investigated. Nevertheless, if the sources and methods of compilation were reliable, close results would be expected. Seasonally adjusted GDP 1.23 Seasonally adjusted data series are currently compiled for the quarterly series of the aggregate GDP and some of its expenditure components, including private consumption expenditure, government consumption expenditure, exports of goods, exports of services, imports of goods and imports of services. However, seasonally adjusted data series is not compiled for gross domestic capital formation as no clear seasonal pattern is found in this component. Details are given in paragraphs 3.65-3.69.

2. Statistical Tables

Notes to statistical tables

The following symbols are used in statistical tables throughout this report:

@ Figures are subject to revision later on as more data become available * Change within ±0.05 % ** Percentage distribution/contribution less than 0.05 % § Statistical discrepancy within ±0.05 % — Not applicable N.A. Not available All values, unless otherwise indicated, are shown in Hong Kong dollars rounded to the nearest million. Where figures have been rounded, there may be slight discrepancies between the sum of individual items and the total. Percentage changes in real terms are calculated based on unrounded figures of the volume indices. For calculation of the growth rates of private consumption expenditure and government consumption expenditure for 1992, please refer to paragraphs 3.26 and 3.27. For reference periods before the base year of 2000, volume indices (2000=100) are published for measuring the volume movement and changes in real terms over time. For users who may also be interested in the constant dollar GDP figures, say for component i for jth quarter in year t, they may derive the linked value for component i by the following formula: Volume index of component i for jth quarter in year t Volume index of component i for jth quarter in 2000 Example: Private consumption expenditure (PCE) component of 1st quarter 1994 at constant (2000) prices Volume index of PCE for 1st quarter 1994 Volume index of PCE for 1st quarter 2000 87.5 97.1 = HK$ 166,213 million Nevertheless, it should be noted that the linked values of GDP components compiled in the above manner possess the non-additivity feature. In other words, for periods before 2000, the sum of the re-referenced values of components may not equal to the aggregate and the sum of the four quarters in the year may not equal to the annual value.

3. Methods and Data Sources for Compilation of GDP by the Expenditure Approach

3.1 This section describes the methods and data sources used in compiling GDP by the expenditure approach at current and constant (2000) market prices. The concepts and definitions used for the quarterly and the annual GDP are identical. Current Price GDP by Expenditure Component

Private consumption expenditure 3.2 Private consumption expenditure (PCE) refers to the value of final consumption expenditure on goods and services by households and private non-profit institutions serving households. It is obtained by first compiling consumption expenditure on goods and services in the domestic market, and then adding expenditure of residents abroad and deducting expenditure of non-residents in the domestic market. 3.3 The commodity flow method has been used extensively in compiling consumption expenditure in the domestic market. An allocation is made to commodities which can be used for both final and intermediate consumption. Data sources include trade statistics, administrative statistics, economic censuses and surveys, household expenditure surveys and other sample surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department. These are supplemented by other miscellaneous sources and in certain cases informed guesses. 3.4 Consumers’ expenditure on any particular commodity is compiled from the two principal sources of supply, viz. local production and retained imports. A large proportion of the commodities included in PCE is imported and the value of retained imports is derived from detailed trade statistics by deducting the value of re-exports from that of imports at commodity level. The value of re-exports is recorded on f.o.b. basis. It therefore includes an element of re-export margin, which has to be deducted in deriving the value of retained imports for consumption. Previously, a flat rate of 5% was assumed for the “rate of re-export margin” (RRXM) when compiling PCE. In view of the growing importance of re-export activities, the Census and Statistics Department has conducted the Annual Survey of Re-export Trade since the reference year 1989. The survey results are used to estimate RRXMs at commodity level for compiling the PCE. For the years prior to 1989, imputations on the rates of re-export margin were made with reference to the survey results for 1989 and 1990. Based on these imputed rates, the retained imports and PCE series for those years prior to 1989 were compiled. Some improvements to the estimation method of RRXM were incorporated for the reference year of 1990 onwards. The RRXMs for 1990 to 2003 are listed below:- RRXMs(%)

Broad commodity group 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Consumer goods 18.6 21.4 22.9 24.6 23.5 23.2 24.4 24.2 24.7 26.3 26.9 26.9 26.2 25.0Raw materials and semi-manufactures

In the revised estimation method, for those shipments which the survey respondents could not provide the actual import prices but could only report the prices at which they purchased the goods from other local enterprises, reference was made to auxiliary data including trade statistics for imputing the import prices of the shipments. 3.5 Statistics of local agricultural and fishery production for domestic consumption, both in value and in quantity terms, are regularly prepared by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. 3.6 Statistics for other domestically manufactured goods are based mainly on information collected from economic censuses/surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, supplemented where necessary by other statistics. In the censuses/annual surveys conducted for the manufacturing sector for the years 1970, 1973 and 1976-2002, detailed information on commodity sales was collected. In compiling consumers’ expenditure on a commodity, one of the following two methods is used: (a) “S-X” method, under which statistics of local consumption are based on the difference between the total sales of manufacturers and total exports of the commodity concerned for a given period, or (b) “FP” method, under which a fixed percentage of total sales of manufacturers is taken as consumed locally. Of the two methods, (a) is preferred in general, except where there are difficulties in reconciling the sales statistics and exports statistics. 3.7 The compilation methods described above do not apply to years for which a census/annual survey was not conducted, and alternative procedures had then to be adopted in such cases. For 1966-1969, the estimates for a given commodity group were based on the benchmark estimate for 1970 and extrapolated using changes in population and prices. With benchmark estimates available for 1970 and 1973, the 1971 and 1972 estimates were obtained by interpolation, assuming the same growth rates for these two years. The 1974 and 1975 estimates were similarly derived based on the 1973 and 1976 benchmarks. 3.8 An annual economic census/survey is an operationally complicated project requiring a long time to complete. The availability of detailed data from economic census/survey is usually subject to a time lag of about one year. In the meantime, statistics of consumers’ expenditure on locally produced goods have been compiled based on production data collected from the Quarterly Survey of Industrial Production conducted by the Census and Statistics Department. Revisions are made to the statistics when results from the Annual Survey of Industrial Production become available. 3.9 After values of consumers’ expenditure on food and consumer goods have been compiled from the value of sales of producers and retained imports, they have to be adjusted. Since the commodities have to pass through distributive channels (i.e. wholesalers and retailers) before they ultimately reach final consumers, they may be temporarily held as inventories. Benchmark information for making adjustment for changes in inventories was obtained from the 1977 and 1979-2002 Census/Survey of Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels. Data on the physical changes in inventories of goods held by the distributive trades for 1977 and 1979-2002 were compiled based on statistics of changes in inventories by end-use. Since data on changes in inventories of the distributive trades were not available for years before 1977, a cruder basis had to be adopted for making adjustment for changes in inventories to data in respect of earlier years using proxy indicators available. 3.10 Apart from the adjustment for changes in inventories, a second type of adjustment is required. In compiling PCE at current market prices, the retail value is used and this is arrived at by adding distributors’ gross trade margins. The margin varies considerably among commodity groups and between years. The margins for 1977 and 1979-2002 were derived from results of the Census/Survey of Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels. The percentage margins for 1978 were taken to be the averages of those for 1977 and 1979, and those for 1966-1976 were imputed

117

by taking the averages of the margins for the period 1977-1981. The percentage margins for 2003 are provisional and will be revised based on the results of the Survey for 2003. The trade margins of the following product groups are available from the survey results: food, fuel, alcoholic drinks and tobacco, clothing and footwear, consumer goods, consumer durables and capital goods. 3.11 Consumers’ expenditure may also be compiled from government revenue statistics and other administrative statistics. Many service groups are compiled on this basis. Where such methods are used, the basic statistics provided are often expressed in purchasers’ prices already and adjustments for trade margins and inventories are not necessary. 3.12 To compile expenditure on certain groups, data from Household Expenditure Surveys conducted in 1963/64, 1973/74, 1979/80, 1984/85, 1989/90, 1994/95 and 1999/2000 by the Census and Statistics Department have also been used as benchmarks. Statistics for other years are compiled based on data from other sources. A household expenditure survey is usually a convenient source of information, since its data can be analysed by type of goods or services and by type of household. 3.13 For certain groups where data cannot be obtained from other sources, special surveys are conducted by the Census and Statistics Department. These include the Quarterly Survey of Restaurant Receipts and Purchases; expenditure surveys on hairdressing, taxi fares, photo-printing, cinemas and theatres, newspapers and periodicals, electronic games, and video tapes and video discs. 3.14 Consumption expenditure on goods and services in the domestic market is classified as follows:

entertainment Newspapers and periodicals; books and other recreation goods (e.g. toys, fresh and artificial flowers and pets); video disc and tape rental, cinema entertainment; betting; hotel accommodation and other recreational expenses.

(13) Education Education fees and related expenditure (e.g. examination fees,

private tuition fees).

(14) Other services Life insurance; service charges in restaurants and cafes; brokers’ commissions and stamp duties in the transaction of stocks; service charges for pension funds; expenditure on other services; and expenditure of private non-profit bodies.

3.15 Summing the components described above gives the total consumption expenditure in the domestic market. Apart from the above classification, breakdowns of consumption expenditures for food, consumer goods and services are also compiled and published in this report. 3.16 PCE is obtained by adding expenditure of residents abroad to the total consumption expenditure in the domestic market, and then deducting expenditure of non-residents in Hong Kong. 3.17 Expenditure of non-residents in the domestic market is quite substantial. Expenditure of the following eight categories of non-residents is included in the calculation: overnight visitors; same-day in-town visitors; cruise passengers; military personnel and servicemen on rest and recreation; transit and transfer passengers; foreign crews stopping in Hong Kong; non-resident students studying in Hong Kong and employees of extra-territorial bodies and their dependents in Hong Kong. Extra-territorial bodies include foreign consulates and trade commissions (the UK troops were also included before July 1997). 3.18 Expenditure of residents abroad includes expenditure of residents travelling outside Hong Kong for personal purpose (including personal travel in package tour mode and non-package tour mode) and expenditure on passenger fare on international transportation services provided by non-resident transport operators. It also includes expenditure of resident students studying abroad. Whereas overseas expenditure of all residents travelling abroad comes under imports of services, only

119

expenditure of residents travelling abroad for non-business purposes comes under “expenditure of residents abroad” in PCE. 3.19 Following the latest recommendation in the System of National Accounts, supplementary statistics on actual consumption are also compiled and published in this report in addition to statistics on private consumption expenditure and government consumption expenditure. Actual final consumption of households covers goods and services which are effectively available to households, irrespective of whether the ultimate bearers of the expense are government, private non-profit institutions or households themselves. The actual consumption concept is based on the distinction between individual consumption (benefiting identifiable households) and collective consumption (benefiting society as a whole) of government consumption expenditure.

Government consumption expenditure

3.20 Government consumption expenditure (GCE), for the purposes of calculating the GDP, relates to current expenditure on goods and services by government departments which are not engaged in market activities. It also includes quasi-government non-profit institutions, in addition to that of government units in the narrower sense. According to the System of National Accounts, non-profit institutions which, by virtue of their relations with the government, are clearly instruments of the social or economic policies of the government, should be accounted for in government services, even though these institutions are not formally part of the government. Some examples of quasi-government institutions included in the GCE are the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Hong Kong Productivity Council, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Consumer Council, Hospital Authority, Vocational Training Council, Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Employees Retraining Board. 3.21 The GCE does not cover government units which are engaged in market activities. These government units are distinguished from other government departments in that they are engaged in the production of goods and services principally for sale to the public. The criteria for distinguishing the market activities of the government from its other activities are: (i) that the activity consists of the production of goods and services of a kind which might be provided by a private business, and (ii) that sales to the public forms the major part of their activities. 3.22 Some examples of departments or sections of departments that are taken as being engaged in market activities include the Housing Department; the Ferry Terminals Section, the Cargo Handling Section and the Port Logistics Section of the Marine Department; Post Office; Water Supplies Department and the Tunnels Contract Management Team and the Parking Contract Management Team of the Transport Department. 3.23 The GCE also does not cover public corporations which are owned by government and engaged in market activities. These include the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation and Airport Authority Hong Kong. 3.24 By convention, GCE is computed as the sum of:

(i) Compensation of employees: This comprises wages and salaries, pensions, expenditure on housing and quarters for its staff including imputed rent for all government-owned quarters, and other miscellaneous benefits.

(ii) Purchases of goods and services less sales: This refers to the expenses of the general government on goods and services in providing government services such as education, health services, services relating to fire fighting and protection, sanitation and social welfare, law and order enforcement and other general administration. Purchases of goods and services cover expenses on store and supplies, fuel and light, maintenance of

120

buildings and works, rents including imputed rent of non-residential buildings owned and occupied by the general government, and other services. Sales include school fees, sales of publications, medical and dental charges, ticket receipts from recreational and cultural programmes organised by the general government and revenue from other miscellaneous services rendered by the general government.

3.25 Expenditures incurred by the government in respect of subvention to private organisations are excluded in calculating GCE. Such expenditures are treated as transfer payments in the national accounting framework. Subvention expenditures are primarily utilised to finance the activities of private non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). The output of these institutions has been separately accounted for in the PCE. (See paragraph 3.2) 3.26 In view of the establishment of the Hospital Authority, the sectoral classification of the ex-subvented hospitals (now called public hospitals) has been reviewed in accordance with the guidelines published in the System of National Accounts. Ex-subvented hospitals, which were previously classified as “producers of private non-profit services”, are now classified as “producers of government services” because after the establishment of the Hospital Authority, ex-subvented hospitals started to function as instruments of the government to implement the provision of subsidised hospital services to the general public. 3.27 In calculating the year-on-year growth rate of GCE for 1992, the 1991 figure has been adjusted to include the expenditure of ex-subvented hospitals, so that it is comparable with the GCE figure for 1992. Similarly, in calculating the year-on-year growth rate of PCE for 1992, the expenditure of ex-subvented hospitals is excluded from the PCE figures for 1991 for comparability with the PCE figures for 1992. This avoids any distortion of the year-on-year growth rates due to the change in classification. 3.28 GCE data up to 1972 were obtained from the annual reports of Director of Accounting Services which give the actual expenditure of each department by financial years ending 31 March. The data were adjusted to a calendar year basis by assuming that expenditure by all departments was evenly spread throughout the financial year. Since 1973, quarterly figures have been available from the Treasury and such an adjustment was no longer required. Data in respect of quasi-government non-profit institutions were obtained from special enquiries on the income and expenditure of these institutions.

Gross domestic capital formation 3.29 Gross domestic capital formation (GDCF) consists of gross domestic fixed capital formation and the value of physical changes in inventories. 3.30 Gross domestic fixed capital formation is measured by the gross value of investment expenditure on building and construction as well as machinery, equipment and computer software. It represents the gross addition to fixed assets. Expenditure incurred in the acquisition of existing fixed assets which corresponds simply to the transfer of ownership of the assets is therefore not included. Costs incurred in the transfer of ownership of assets (including related taxes or duties paid), representing services used in the course of the transfer, are nevertheless included. Building and construction 3.31 Expenditure on building and construction relates to the value of construction work put in place (amounts payable to contractors, and other expenses directly related to property developments, such as

121

architectural design and technical consultancy services) in respect of residential buildings, non-residential buildings and other construction works as well as the real estate developers’ margin. Details of real estate developers’ margin are given in paragraph 3.33 to 3.34. The statistics of expenditure on building and construction are classified into private and public sectors. Real estate developers’ margin is applicable to the private sector only. 3.32 Statistics for the private sector from 1979 onwards are based on data from the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. Quarterly statistics are compiled using data collected from the Quarterly Survey of Construction Output. Revisions are made when annual data become available from the annual survey. For earlier years, the statistics were compiled on a much cruder basis, using information on construction cost data of newly completed buildings for which occupation permits had been issued as recorded in the monthly reports of the Buildings Ordinance Office. The public sector covers government departments (including Housing Department), quasi-government institutions and public corporations such as Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation and Airport Authority Hong Kong. According to the ownership criterion for classifying fixed assets into public and private sectors, construction expenditure on public rental housing is classified to the public sector whereas that on Home Ownership Scheme is classified to the private sector. 3.33 Real estate developers’ margin (REDM) measures the services rendered by developers to new building projects through acquiring land; arranging and co-ordinating architects, building contractors, engineers, designers and other related professionals to carry out the development of building and construction projects; financing the development of the projects either with their own capital or borrowed capital; and marketing the building units. The gross margin from selling newly developed property is taken as a measure of their economic activity and is included as a component of fixed capital formation. The value of REDM is compiled by taking the sales value of property less the sum of the current cost of the land which the property stands on and the project development outlays (including payments to contractors, architectural, engineering, other professional fees and project related expenses). Adjustments are made to discount gains due to appreciation in land value over the course of project development. 3.34 The estimates of REDM for the years 1979 and 1981-2002 were compiled based on the results of the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. Since no surveys were undertaken for 1980 and for years prior to 1979, the respective figures were derived from the 1979 benchmark data by applying the relevant volume and price changes. Costs of ownership transfer 3.35 Costs of ownership transfer are the expenditure incurred in connection with transfer of ownership of land and buildings, which includes stamp duties, legal fees and agents’ commissions. Expenditure on stamp duties is based on the amount of stamp duties collected by the government in connection with property transactions. The expenditure on legal fees and real estate agents’ commission is computed based on the number of property transfer cases registered with the Land Registry, the average property transaction value and the average rate of charge. Machinery, equipment and computer software 3.36 Investment expenditure on machinery and equipment is mainly compiled from the value of retained imports of capital goods. The method used is similar to that used to compile the consumption expenditure of commodities (see paragraph 3.4). A distributors’ margin is added to this value to allow for dealers’ profits, transport and assembly charges, installation and other expenses. The margin is derived from results of the Annual Survey of Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants

122

and Hotels. Estimates of domestically manufactured machinery and equipment locally purchased are based on the results of the quarterly and annual economic surveys of the manufacturing industry where available, and extrapolation from the benchmark data for those years in which survey data were not available. Public sector expenditure on machinery and equipment comprises that of government departments, quasi-government institutions and public corporations (see paragraph 3.32). The data for government departments are derived from the accounts of government departments. Those for quasi-government institutions and public corporations are based on information supplied by the respective bodies. Private sector investment is taken to be the overall value, both imported and domestically produced, less the public sector figures. An adjustment for changes in distributors’ inventories of capital goods is also made, as in the case with final consumption of goods. 3.37 Computer software can be distinguished into purchased software (both pre-packaged and custom-design) and software developed in-house. Computer software bundled with the hardware is already captured in the estimate of fixed capital formation of machinery and equipment. Data on expenditure on computer software (including computer software purchased and developed in-house) by the private sector are mainly collected through annual economic surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department since the reference year of 1998. Backdating of data series to earlier years is made using proxy indicators. Data on investment expenditure on purchased computer software by the public sector, viz. government departments, quasi-government institutions and public corporations are obtained from records of government accounts and returns of respective bodies. For computer software developed in-house by the public sector, estimates of the compensation of employees to professional computer specialists for system design and programming and the corresponding non-labour costs are capitalised as public sector fixed capital formation. Changes in inventories 3.38 Changes in inventories (CIV) refer to the value of physical change, over an accounting period, in the inventories of work-in-progress and inventories of raw materials and all kinds of goods held by manufacturers and wholesalers, retailers and other distributors, and in fact all businesses in general. However, businesses other than manufacturing and distribution are not expected to hold significant level of inventories. 3.39 CIV is measured by the value of the entries into inventories less the value of withdrawals, with adjustment for appreciation (or depreciation) in the value of inventories due to price changes during the accounting period. In national accounting, transactions involving inventories are treated in the same way as transactions involving other assets. When a good is entered into inventories, it is acquired as an asset by the owner. The CIV is an integral part of economic activities and is recorded under capital formation in the GDP measured by the expenditure approach. 3.40 Estimates of CIV cover the following categories of goods: fuels, food, consumer goods, capital goods, raw materials and work-in-progress. For fuels, data on quantities of hydrocarbon oils kept as inventory by oil companies are obtained from the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department on a quarterly basis. For other kinds of goods, data for compiling the CIV estimates are mainly obtained from the annual economic censuses/surveys covering the manufacturing and distributive trade sectors. These include the Annual Survey of Industrial Production and the Annual Survey of Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels. For years in which data from economic surveys were not available, cruder methods of estimation were applied. 3.41 As data from annual economic surveys are available with a time lag, quarterly estimates of changes in manufacturers’ and distributors’ inventories are compiled based on data collected from the Monthly Survey of Retail Sales, the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries and the Quarterly Survey of Industrial Production.

123

3.42 Compilation of estimates of changes in inventories at current prices involves the elimination of increases in the book values of inventories between the beginning and the end of the period concerned due to appreciation of inventories, which is treated as purely a financial adjustment in national accounts. The adjustment for appreciation of inventories is made by revaluing the opening and closing book values of inventories at the average current prices of the period by means of appropriate price indices; the value of physical changes in inventories is then the difference of the two levels.

Imports and exports of goods and services Imports and exports of goods 3.43 Exports of goods include domestic exports and re-exports of goods recorded on f.o.b. basis. Imports of goods are valued on f.o.b. basis. External trade of non-monetary gold is also included. Imports and exports of services 3.44 Imports and exports of services represent transactions between residents of an economy and non-residents. The concept, definition and classification of imports and exports of services are based on international recommendations given in the Balance of Payments Manual and the System of National Accounts. The coverage of different service groups is as follows: (1) Transportation includes freight and passenger transportation by all modes of

transportation (air, sea and others) and other distributive and auxiliary services such as cargo forwarding, rentals of carriers with crew, container terminal and airport terminal services.

(2) Travel covers goods and services acquired from an economy by non-resident travellers for business and personal purposes during their visits in that economy. Exports of travel services cover mainly visitor spending whereas imports of travel services relate to expenditure on all goods and services acquired by Hong Kong residents travelling abroad.

(3) Insurance services include services provided for direct insurance and reinsurance in respect of life, freight and other non-life insurance such as accident and health insurance; marine, aviation and other transport insurance.

(4) Financial services include investment banking services; financial leasing services; financial asset dealing and brokerage services; portfolio management services, trust services, security custody services, foreign exchange services and other services auxiliary to financial intermediation.

(5) Merchanting and other trade-related services include merchanting, merchandising and other trade-related services. Merchanting relates to services associated with the trading of goods which are purchased and sold again without imported into and exported from Hong Kong. It also includes goods manufactured through sub-contract processing arrangement, which are subsequently sold to places outside Hong Kong without having been imported into Hong Kong after processing. Merchandising (also known as purchasing services) relates to services arranging on behalf of the buyers/sellers the purchase/sales of goods according to their specification, e.g. multiple sourcing, marketing, contract and price negotiation, volume and sample procurement, shipment, inspection and arrangement for follow-up order.

124

(6) Other services include a wide variety of services: communications services (postal, courier, and telecommunications services); computer and information services; construction, architectural, surveying and project engineering and other technical services; royalties and license fees; other business services (e.g. legal, accounting, tax consultancy, business and management consultancy, public relations, advertising, market research, operational leasing, real estate and other professional services); personal, cultural and recreational services (e.g. production, distribution and projection services of motion picture and videotapes; radio and television services) and government services (expenditure of employees of extra-territorial bodies and their dependents in Hong Kong and government expenditure abroad).

3.45 Estimates of residents’ expenditure abroad (an imported service) are based on administrative data and household surveys. Expenditure of visitors in Hong Kong (an exported service) is based on data provided by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. Expenditure of employees of extra-territorial bodies and their dependents in Hong Kong is estimated based on the number of such persons staying in Hong Kong and their average expenditure. Extra-territorial bodies include foreign consulates and trade commissions (the UK troops were also included before July 1997). Data on expenditure abroad of overseas offices and miscellaneous expenditure abroad of the government are obtained from the government accounts. The Annual Survey of Banks, Deposit-taking Companies, Restricted Licence Banks and Representative Offices of Foreign Banks has been conducted since the reference year 1980 to collect data on imports and exports of banking services. Estimates of the other services categories are mainly based on data collected from the Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services, supplemented by administrative data. The Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services was launched starting from the reference year 1978. For earlier years, the estimates were compiled with reference to imports and exports of goods and data from the Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services for reference year 1978. Because of limitations in the data, breakdowns by services cannot be provided. 3.46 The Census and Statistics Department has made continuous effort to improve the coverage of imports and exports of services in economic surveys and other administrative data sources. The Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services has been enhanced as from the reference year of 1995 to collect imports and exports of services data on a service basis. Benchmark data collected from the enhanced Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services are used for backdating the historical series to service basis. 3.47 Quarterly statistics of imports and exports of services are compiled with reference to external trade data, data from quarterly surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, data from various government departments and the International Air Transport Association. For survey-based data, the preliminary figures are subsequently revised to incorporate latest available data from the Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services. Constant Price GDP by Expenditure Component and Implicit Price Deflators 3.48 Constant price figures of the components and sub-components of the GDP are prepared either by deflating current values by appropriate price indices, or by revaluing the current period quantities at base year prices. The constant price GDP is obtained by aggregating the constant price data of its components. In the constant price series, the effects of price changes have been eliminated and changes in GDP at constant prices reflect changes in the volume of economic activities.

125

3.49 Where revaluation at base year prices is used, the procedure is relatively straightforward. But where the deflation method is used, there are some problems associated with index numbers. For instance, current-weighted price indices, strictly speaking, are required for deflating current values. But price index series, e.g. the consumer price index, are usually available in base-weighted form and current-weighted series are not available. The index number problems, however, are unlikely to introduce serious problems in the constant price series. 3.50 In the 2002 round of the major revision, the base year for the constant price GDP is updated to year 2000 from 1990. The base year for the constant price GDP is the reference year in respect of which detailed price structure is used in calculating the values which provide weights for aggregating changes in volume of various types of goods and services produced or purchased. While the price structure changes only gradually from year to year, cumulative changes may become significant over a number of years. Thus, the base year of the constant price GDP needs to be updated from time to time in order to ensure that the weights underlying the measurement of volume changes reflect the more current price structure. The volume estimates of GDP and various expenditure components as from the new base year of 2000 and onwards are re-weighted according to the 2000 price structure. Rebasing of the historical series before the new base year of 2000 is not undertaken. 3.51 For the historical series prior to the new base year of 2000, the volume estimates compiled on the earlier base years at both the aggregate and component levels are linked by simple splicing to the re-weighted series. Thus, in the rebasing exercise, the real growth rates of GDP and its components for the earlier periods are not affected at all, except where data revisions and methodological changes have been made in the light of more comprehensive information and adoption of new international guidelines. 3.52 The methods for compiling the constant price expenditure components of GDP are summarised below:

Methods Private consumption expenditure

Consumption expenditure in the domestic market

For most items, the method used is deflation by consumer price indices (CPIs) at group level. For some items of expenditure, the constant price data are compiled by revaluation at base year prices. Expenditure of private non-profit institutions serving households is deflated by the salary rate index for government employees.

Expenditure of residents abroad

Deflated by a composite price index derived based on the CPIs of various countries.

Expenditure of non-residents in Hong Kong

Deflated by a tourist price index compiled by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, except for expenditure of non-resident students studying in Hong Kong and expenditure of employees of extra-territorial bodies and their dependents in Hong Kong which are obtained by multiplying the number of such persons and their corresponding average expenditure in the base year.

126

Methods Government consumption expenditure Compensation of employees Deflated by the salary rate index for government employees. Purchases of goods and services

Deflated by the price index for government purchases of goods and services.

Sales by government to households and enterprises

Deflated by the price index of sales by government to households and enterprises.

Gross domestic capital formation

Construction output Starting from the reference period of first quarter 1991,

construction output in real terms is derived based on a set of type-specific output deflators (see Note below). It is however not possible to adopt the type-specific output deflators before the reference period of first quarter 1991 mainly due to the lack of data (e.g. tender date of individual construction projects).

Note : Deflators for different types of construction output are as follows:-

Type of construction

output

Deflator for reference periods

before first quarter 1991

Deflator for reference periods

since first quarter 1991

Residential building

- public Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to Tender Price Index compiled by the Housing Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to Tender Price Index compiled by the Housing Department.

- private Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to tender price indices compiled by private quantity surveying firms.

Non-residential building

- public Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to Tender Price Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

- private Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to tender price indices compiled by private quantity surveying firms.

Civil engineering work Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to Civil Engineering Work Index compiled by the Civil Engineering and Development Department.

Non-site work

- those undertaken by special trade contractors (e.g. air-conditioning work)

Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

Construction Output Deflator derived with reference to Building Services Tender Price Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

- those undertaken by general contractors (e.g. renovation at erected building)

Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

A composite price index derived with reference to Civil Engineering Work Index compiled by the Civil Engineering and Development Department and the Building Cost Index compiled by the Architectural Services Department.

127

Methods Real estate developers’ margin The real estate developers’ margin at constant price is derived

by applying the annual real growth rates of the output of private sector buildings to the real estate developers’ margin in the base year 2000.

Costs of ownership transfer The legal fees at constant prices are obtained by multiplying

the number of property transfer cases and the average rate of legal charges in the base year. For stamp duties, data are deflated by the property price indices compiled by Rating and Valuation Department and then further deflated by the price indices of stamp duty rates. The real estate agents’ commission is deflated by the property price indices compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department.

Machinery and equipment Machinery and equipment is deflated using the relevant unit

value indices on capital goods. Computer software The computer software price index compiled by the U.S.

Bureau of Economic Analysis is adopted as the price deflator for purchased software because the U.S. is the major producer and supplier of pre-packaged software. For software developed in-house, the relevant salary indices and price indices of non-labour costs are used to deflate the current price data.

Changes in inventories Inventories of the manufacturing sector are deflated by a

combined unit value index of domestic exports and retained imports of raw materials whilst inventories of the distributive trades are deflated by unit value indices of retained imports of the respective commodity groups (i.e. food, consumer goods, raw materials and capital goods). For petroleum products, the quantities of changes in inventories are revalued at base year prices.

Imports and exports of goods Real aggregates of domestic exports, re-exports and imports

are derived by deflating the external trade figures at disaggregated level and then adding up the deflated sub-aggregates.

Imports and exports of services For most categories of services, the current price data are

deflated by specially constructed specific price indices. These include tourist price index and consumer price indices of major destinations in respect of travel, producer price indices and other input-related price indices. For some categories, the constant price data are derived using quantity indicators and revaluation at base year prices.

128

3.53 The implicit price deflators (IPDs) of GDP and its expenditure components are obtained by dividing the current price data by the corresponding constant (2000) price data and then multiplying by 100. Both the IPDs of GDP and domestic demand are measures of inflation. GDP is compiled as total final expenditures on goods and services (including private consumption expenditure (PCE), government consumption expenditure (GCE), gross domestic capital formation (GDCF) and exports of goods and services), less imports of goods and services. Domestic demand is the sum of PCE, GCE and GDCF. The deflators are similarly derived by dividing the sum of the respective components at current market prices by the sum of components at constant (2000) market prices and then multiplying by 100. Hence as it stands, the IPDs of GDP and its expenditure components are not used as input for compiling the corresponding constant price measures. By the same token, the growth rates in real terms of GDP and its main expenditure components are not derived from their corresponding growth rates in money terms using the rates of change in the respective IPDs. Rather, the growth rates in real terms are directly calculated by comparing the constant price measures at the two different periods. 3.54 The IPDs of GDP and its expenditure components are not direct measures of price change. They are derived measures of price change compiled based on the current price and constant price data. 3.55 The rates of change of the IPD of GDP and Consumer Price Index (CPI) are commonly used as measures of inflation (i.e. change in price levels) by data users. However, the movement of the IPD of GDP may at times differ from that of the CPI. The IPD of GDP is an economy-wide measure of inflation and takes into account all the price changes relating to consumption, investment, exports and imports. The CPI only measures the price changes encompassing goods and services purchased by households. Limitations of the Compilation Method 3.56 Compilation of GDP requires data from numerous sources. While the development of statistics in Hong Kong since the 1980 has provided many new data sources, there are still areas where estimates are less firmly based because of various limitations. In general, data sources for compiling quarterly GDP are less solidly based than those for compiling annual GDP. Quarterly surveys, which are one main source of data for the quarterly GDP, are normally smaller in sample size and less detailed in the information collected as compared with the annual surveys on which the annual GDP figures are based. In addition, some price deflators for compiling constant price GDP are only available on an annual basis but not on a quarterly basis. Limitations relating to the specific expenditure components of GDP are briefly described below. Private consumption expenditure 3.57 Although improvements have been made in valuing retained imports at market prices by introducing variable distributors’ margins for different commodity groups based on results of the Survey of Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels, there are certain underlying assumptions in the method of estimation. To ascertain the true value of distributors’ margin is very difficult, since strictly speaking the trade margins for each distributive channel of a given type of commodity have to be known. As the collection of this information is impracticable, the overall gross trading margins of the wholesalers and of the retailers are applied collectively to derive the distributors’ margin for a given commodity group. There are certain limitations in this method which is based on partial information at best. 3.58 As the compilation of the GDP using the expenditure approach is largely dependent on data from the trade statistics system, the value of retained imports derived from imports less re-exports is subject to time lag in recording, i.e. a given commodity imported for re-export may not be re-exported in the same period. Moreover, each commodity has to be allocated to its respective end-use categories

129

viz. final consumption, intermediate consumption or capital formation. The allocation of commodities cannot be very precise in practice unless full information is available on commodity flow. The present allocation adopted is based on knowledge about the relative disposition of the commodity and best judgement. Hence, this is subject to certain limitations. However, the scheme of allocation is constantly reviewed so as to account for necessary changes arising from structural developments in the economy. Government consumption expenditure 3.59 For government consumption expenditure, compilation is relatively straightforward. However, for years before 1973, data in respect of government departments were available only on a financial year basis, and expenditure was considered to be evenly spread out over the year so as to convert figures to a calendar year basis. As accounts data are used in compiling this component, the figures are derived on a cash-flow basis rather than accrual basis. To the extent that the cash-flow pattern varies from year to year, this component exhibits considerable short-term fluctuations in the quarterly series. Gross domestic capital formation 3.60 Figures prior to 1979 of the private sector investment in building and construction were based on information from the Buildings Ordinance Office’s monthly statistical returns on the cost of construction of newly completed buildings and construction work for which occupation permits were issued. The method by which the cost of completed projects was distributed uniformly over the duration of the project implicitly assumed that work put in place over the entire period was evenly spread out. As detailed information regarding the progress of work is not available, the statistics so derived are subject to estimation errors arising from fluctuations in the work progress. 3.61 The compilation of investment in machinery and equipment by the private sector is mainly based on statistics on imports and re-exports. They are therefore subject to the same problems as the PCE mentioned in paragraphs 3.57 and 3.58. 3.62 Changes in inventories, which are taken as the difference of the beginning and the ending values of inventories, always tend to be less reliable than other components as for most countries in the world. In particular, before results of annual economic surveys become available, quarterly and annual statistics are estimated based on results of surveys with rather small sample sizes. The error margin of this estimate can be large even with small estimation errors on both the beginning and the ending values of inventories. Revisions to this component can be substantial. The series of data on inventories must therefore be treated with particular caution. Imports and exports of services 3.63 Data quality of this component for the years before 1978 depends much on the validity of the use of imports and exports of goods as indicators, which are applied to the benchmark data of imports and exports, respectively, of certain services derived in 1978. To the extent that the indicators are inadequate, the statistics for the earlier years would be subject to error. The series of data on imports and exports of services for 1961-1977 should therefore be used with caution. Although various sources of information are used as far as possible to develop specific deflators for different categories of imports and exports of services, there are still limitations in the constant price measures. In deriving constant price measures of imports and exports of services, there are difficulties not only in the lack of data but also in defining the volume measures of various types of services. Hence, the constant price measures cannot be very precise.

130

3.64 Although most of the important sectors with significant trade in services transactions have been identified and included in the surveys, the coverage of the surveys requires regular reviews to identify any sectors which have grown in importance in respect of transactions in trade in services. Seasonally Adjusted GDP and its Main Expenditure Components 3.65 Seasonally adjusted data series are compiled for the aggregate GDP and some of its expenditure components including private consumption expenditure, government consumption expenditure, exports of goods, exports of services, imports of goods and imports of services. However, seasonally adjusted series is not compiled for gross domestic capital formation, as no clear seasonal pattern can be identified in this component. 3.66 In the seasonally adjusted series, seasonal effects have been removed statistically, thus enabling meaningful quarter-to-quarter comparison. When the year-on-year quarterly changes in the original GDP series and the quarter-to-quarter changes in the seasonally adjusted GDP series are analysed together, the trend of the GDP can be more clearly discerned, particularly in regard to turning points in the data series. 3.67 The statistical technique of X-11 ARIMA method, developed by Statistics Canada and used commonly worldwide, is the standard method employed in compiling seasonally adjusted data. 3.68 While the seasonally adjusted GDP series is more responsive to turns in economic cycle, there are some technical aspects that should be noted in the interpretation of the seasonally adjusted figures. There are some instances where the indicativeness of the seasonally adjusted series is reduced by the relatively significant extent of irregular factors at play in the original data series. Seasonal adjustment seeks to remove only the seasonal variations but not such irregularities. The presence of large irregularities could even disrupt the estimation of the underlying trend. Changes in the characteristics of the data series arising from structural changes in the economy may also affect the seasonally adjusted figures. 3.69 The seasonally adjusted series is subject to routine revision resulting from the updating of the seasonal factors when more new data are brought in over time. The extent of revision is normally more significant for the recent time points and less for earlier time points. Primarily, the degree of revision to the seasonally adjusted series is related to the extent of irregularity newly emerging in the original series, e.g. occurrence of new shocks and particular events. Apart from this, it should also be noted that part of the revision in the seasonally adjusted GDP data is due to routine revision in the original GDP data series brought about by the availability of updated and newly available data for GDP compilation. Real Gross Domestic Income 3.70 In the national accounts context, the most comprehensive measure of performance or real output in the local economy is the GDP. However, for certain analytical purposes, it may also be of interest to compute a measure of real gross domestic income (RGDI), which is GDP adjusted for trading gains and losses from changes in the terms of trade. In this specific measure, RGDI purports to reflect the external purchasing power of the real output, as the relative movements in import and export prices result in a varying volume of imports (which come from overseas output) being exchangeable for a given volume of exports (which come from domestic output). The growth rate of real income could show noticeable deviations from that of GDP if there is appreciable difference in the movement of import and export prices in an economy which has a substantial turnover of trade relative to overall economic activity.

3.71 The adjustment that has to be applied to the real product series in producing the real income

series is equal to ( )XPm

XPx

− , where X is the value of exports at current prices, Pm the import price

index and Px the export price index. In the event that export and import prices have risen to the same degree since the base year, the terms of trade equals 1 and no adjustment is required in converting the real product series to the real income series. 3.72 Previously, the value of the adjustment was computed with respect to goods only, while the effect due to the relative movement in import and export prices for services was taken to be insignificant. This is no longer valid in view of the growing importance of services. Hence, the adjustment is now made in respect of both goods and services. In other words, in the formula given above, X represents the total value of exports of goods and services. Pm and Px denote price indices for imports and exports of goods and services, approximated by the implicit price deflators for imports and exports of goods and services respectively. 3.73 The method of using the import price as the deflator in calculating RGDI follows recommendation as given in the System of National Accounts. The use of import price is also particularly appropriate for an externally-oriented economy, given the significance of exports as a source of income to the economy, and also given the reliance on imports for meeting final demand. The adoption of import price in deriving the RGDI should better reflect the external purchasing power of real output of such economy. 3.74 The following table shows the real income series (RGDI), derived as described above, together with the real product series (constant price GDP) for 2000-2004.

3.75 The real income measure presented here is real gross domestic income (RGDI). For most applications, usually the preferred measure would be real gross national income (RGNI), which is given by RGDI plus net factor incomes from abroad. Data on factor incomes payable to and receivable from abroad are collected from the Survey of External Claims, Liabilities and Income (see paragraph 6.36).

4. Methods and Data Sources for Compilation of GDP by the Production Approach

4.1 This section describes the methods and data sources for compiling the GDP by economic activity at current and constant (2000) prices. Current Price Annual GDP by Economic Activity

Agriculture and fishing 4.2 The statistics are based on production data supplied regularly by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The department also provides analysis of the input structure of production by major product, based on which statistics of intermediate and factor inputs are compiled.

Mining and quarrying; manufacturing; electricity, gas and water 4.3 The Survey of Industrial Production provides the data for compiling statistics for these economic activities. The first survey was conducted for the reference year 1973. The Survey has been conducted annually since the reference year 1976. 4.4 The major activity of manufacturing is the production of goods. In the Survey of Industrial Production, respondents reported the sales value of goods they produced. This is adjusted by the value of changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress. In deriving the estimates for changes in inventories, price appreciation is removed to give the value of physical changes in inventories. The data for adjusting price appreciation are collected in the Survey. 4.5 Besides production of goods, manufacturing establishments are also engaged in other activities. In the case of manufacturing establishments performing contract work for other manufacturers, output is measured by their receipts for work performed. For sales of goods which have not been further processed by the selling establishment, such as sales of excess raw materials, output is measured by the resale margin, i.e. the difference between the sales value and the cost of goods resold. Rentals received from letting of premises, and commissions and fees received for services rendered are also included as components in gross output; such activities being considered as secondary activities of the manufacturing industry. 4.6 The intermediate consumption of manufacturing industries comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in production, repair and maintenance, transportation, etc. Payments for contract work done by others are included in intermediate consumption, while payments to outworkers are included in compensation of employees. Consumption of materials and supplies is obtained by adjusting the value of purchases for changes in inventories of raw materials and semi-manufacturers. 4.7 The treatment for the mining and quarrying, and electricity, gas and water industries is similar to that for the manufacturing industry. The Water Supplies Department is treated as a government unit engaged in market activities and is classified to the electricity, gas and water industry.

134

Construction 4.8 The construction industry here refers to construction contractors only. It does not cover the activities of property development. The construction of both buildings and other structures and facilities are covered. Construction contractors engaging in the erection of architectural superstructures, piling, demolition, site formation, civil engineering construction, electrical and mechanical installation work, etc. are included. Data for the construction industry are collected from construction contractors enumerated in the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. The first benchmark survey was conducted for the reference year 1979. For 1980, a simplified enquiry covering only construction contractors was conducted. As only data on the value of construction output were collected, estimates of structural components were made using the structural ratios of 1979 and 1981. From 1981 onwards, annual surveys have been conducted to collect data for the construction industry. 4.9 The gross output of the construction industry is measured by the value of work put in place, or value of work performed during the reference period. The value of work put in place is derived from business accounting records of progress payments. It is equal to the value of progress payments received during the reporting period, less the value of work performed prior to the reporting period but only paid for subsequently, plus the value of work performed during the reporting period, but to be paid for thereafter. 4.10 In compiling the gross output from the survey results, the “net value of construction work performed” is applied. Sub-contracting is a common practice in the construction industry in Hong Kong. While main contractors are engaged by property developers for construction work, they may employ sub-contractors to do part of it. Moreover, a sub-contractor at a particular site may employ another sub-contractor. In addition, there are two types of sub-contractors, viz. fee sub-contractors and labour-only sub-contractors. Labour-only sub-contractors are responsible for supplying labour services only, in the form of site operatives. They are commonly known as “gang leaders” in the industry. Fee sub-contractors are responsible for completing a specified segment of work, including supplying the necessary materials. In the economic survey for the construction industry, the main contractor and all fee sub-contractors at a particular site are enumerated. They are required to report their “overall contract sum” from which all outgoings, including sub-contract payments, are to be met. Payments for sub-contract work are separately reported in the questionnaire. For main contractors employing fee sub-contractors for part of the site work, the value of work done by fee sub-contractors is thus reported more than once in the survey. Consequently, the net value of construction work performed in the economy is derived as the grand total of overall contract sum for all main contractors and fee sub-contractors less the value of payment for fee sub-contract work recorded. This is termed the “net value of construction work performed”. 4.11 Besides progress payments made in respect of construction work, a contractor may receive rentals for premises let out, or commissions and fees for consultancy or other services rendered. These are also included in the value of gross output. 4.12 The intermediate consumption of the construction industry comprises the expenses on consumption of building materials and supplies on sites and sundry supplies in business operation, rentals, expenses on repair and maintenance and other services such as transportation, technical consultancy, insurance, etc. Consumption of materials and supplies is obtained by adjusting the value of purchases by changes in inventories net of price appreciation. Payments to labour-only sub-contractors are included in compensation of employees.

135

Wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hotels 4.13 The first benchmark economic survey for the activities of wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hotels was conducted for the reference year 1977. Annual economic surveys have been conducted since the reference year 1979 to collect data for these activities. 4.14 The major activity involved in wholesale, retail and import/export trades is the distribution of goods. Output in respect of sales of goods is measured by the gross margin realised on trading, i.e. the sales value less the cost of goods sold. The cost of goods sold is obtained by adjusting the value of purchases for changes in inventories net of price appreciation. To remove the effects of price appreciation included in the book value of inventories collected in the economic surveys, special price indices are applied to re-value the book values at the beginning and the end of the reference year at the average prices of the year. The difference between the re-valued figures then gives the value of physical changes in inventories for calculating the cost of goods sold. 4.15 Besides making a margin on resales of goods, firms in the wholesale, retail and import/export trades may also provide other kinds of services, such as agency services to their clients, thus receiving commissions, fees and other service charges. These forms of income, together with rentals, are added to the margin on sales of goods to give the value of gross output. 4.16 The intermediate consumption of wholesale, retail and import/export trades comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation and other services such as advertising, insurance, other transportation. Expenditures on purchases of goods for sale are not included in intermediate consumption because they are not consumed by these firms. Instead, these outlays are deducted from the sales value in calculating the gross margin on sales of goods. 4.17 As the activity of street hawking has not been included in the survey for the wholesale and retail trades, the contribution of hawkers is separately compiled using data on the number of hawkers from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and their earnings collected from the General Household Survey. 4.18 The output of restaurants and other eating places is measured by the value of sales receipts less food cost. The cost of food, beverages and other goods (e.g. cigarettes) sold is obtained by adjusting the value of purchases for changes in inventories. Receipts from other services rendered, rentals received, cash tips and other income such as fees and commissions are included to give the value of gross output of restaurants. 4.19 The intermediate consumption of restaurants comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation and other services such as advertising and insurance. Expenditures on purchases of food, beverages and other goods which are served to customers are not included as intermediate consumption. 4.20 Chinese and other types of restaurants, fast food shops, bars and other eating and drinking places are covered in the above economic survey. Cooked food stalls are not included in the survey for restaurants. The contribution of these stalls is compiled from administrative records and survey data on the number of stalls and their earnings. 4.21 The output of hotels is measured mainly by receipts from room sales. This is supplemented by rentals received and other service charges. The intermediate consumption comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, fuel, electricity and water and other services such as advertising, insurance and management. The hotels industry also covers boarding houses.

136

Transport, storage and communications 4.22 The transport industry covers land, inland water, ocean and air transport, cargo forwarding agents, travel agents and other services relating to transport such as parking, packing and cargo measuring. Since the reference year 1980, annual surveys have been conducted to provide data for compiling statistics for this industry. 4.23 Firms engaged in the land, inland water, ocean and air transport activities provide services in carrying passengers and goods. The value of services provided or output of these firms is measured by the service charges received, viz. passenger and freight revenue. The output of owners of vessels who charter their vessels to other operators is measured by the charter revenue. The output of Hong Kong shipowners whose vessels are registered abroad may not be accounted for in the statistics. For cargo forwarding agents, their gross receipts from shippers often include freight charges to be paid to carriers. Freight charges which are paid on behalf of shippers are not included in measuring the output of cargo forwarding agents, as freight services are actually provided by the carriers. Similarly, for travel agents and airline ticket agents, their gross receipts from clients often include the value of tickets. In compiling output of cargo forwarding agents, travel agents and airline ticket agents, the freight charges/value of tickets have been deducted from their gross receipts. For similar reasons, the value of services provided by tour operators in organising a tour is measured by their total sales revenue (including cash tips) less the cost of the tour. For ship agents/managers and other services related to transport, the value of the services provided is measured by the service receipts or agency fees. 4.24 Branch offices set up in Hong Kong by foreign airlines and shipping companies are also covered in the transport industry. These offices provide services to their overseas parents and are considered to be operating without making an operating surplus. Thus the value of their output is imputed as the sum of all input costs i.e. expenses in maintaining the branch office, including compensation of employees. 4.25 The intermediate consumption of the transport industry comprises rentals, expenses on fuel, materials and supplies consumed in business operation, sub-contract work, repair and maintenance, and other services such as advertising, legal services, insurance. For cargo forwarding agents, travel agents and airline ticket agents and tour operators, expenditures on freight services and purchase of tickets and tour cost incurred on behalf of clients are not included as intermediate consumption. Instead, these expenditures are subtracted from the value of gross receipts in calculating gross output. For local branch offices in Hong Kong of foreign airlines and shipping companies, any expenditure incurred by their overseas parents in Hong Kong other than those expenditures for maintaining the branch offices are excluded in calculating the input costs, irrespective of whether these payments are settled in Hong Kong. 4.26 Several government units engaged in market activities are classified to the transport industry. These include the Ferry Terminals Section, the Cargo Handling Section and the Port Logistics Section of the Marine Department and the Tunnels Contract Management Team and the Parking Contract Management Team of the Transport Department. Data for compiling the estimates are supplied by the departments concerned. 4.27 Firms in the storage industry provide warehousing services and their output is measured by the warehousing rental. The communications industry comprises postal, courier, telephone and telegraph, radio-paging and other telecommunication services. Output of these firms is measured generally by the service charges received, including rentals received for letting telephone sets in the case of telephone services, margins from sales of radio-paging machines in the case of radio-paging services, and other fees and commissions received for services rendered. Post Office is treated as a government unit engaged in market activities and is classified to the communications industry.

137

4.28 The intermediate consumption of storage and communications comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, payments for contract work and other services such as advertising, transportation and insurance. For postal and telecommunication services which are jointly organised across international borders by operators from different countries, the payments made by Hong Kong companies to their overseas counterparts are included as payments for contract work.

Financing, insurance, real estate and business services 4.29 Annual economic surveys covering the financing, insurance, business services and banks, deposit-taking companies, and representative offices of foreign banks have been conducted since the reference year 1980. The activities of real estate developers, real estate leasing, brokerage and management firms and architectural, surveying, engineering and consultancy firms are covered by the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. The first benchmark survey was conducted for the year 1979. No survey was conducted for 1980 and estimates in respect of these activities were compiled using the growth rate of output of private sector construction projects as an indicator. Since 1981, annual surveys have been conducted for compiling estimates for these activities. Financial intermediation services (formerly called banking services) 4.30 The major activity of banks, deposit-taking companies and other firms dealing with personal loans, mortgages, instalment credit, factoring and bill discounting, etc. is to provide financial intermediation services. These financial intermediaries provide the financial intermediation services for which they do not charge explicitly by paying and charging different interest rates to lenders and borrowers. They pay lower interest rates to those who lend them money and charge higher interest rates to those who borrow from them. The resulting net interest receipts (i.e. total interest received less total interest paid out) are used to compensate their expenses and provide the gross operating surplus. 4.31 The value of output of these services, namely “financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM)” (formerly called imputed bank services charge) is measured by the net interest receipts (i.e. total interest received less total interest paid out). The value of FISIM, together with other explicit services charges, rentals, commissions and other fees received, constitutes the gross output of financial intermediaries. For personal loan companies and pawnshops, any bad debts written off are deducted from their net interest receipts. This treatment is adopted because bad debts are common in the business of personal loan companies and pawnshops. For pawnshops, the gross output also includes the receipts from sales of unclaimed goods less the corresponding loan granted. 4.32 For representative offices of foreign banks in Hong Kong, the value of the services they provide to their overseas parents is taken as the sum of all input costs, including compensation of employees and other operating expenses. 4.33 The intermediate consumption of the financial intermediation services comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, advertising, legal, accounting, communication, transportation and other services. Other financial services 4.34 Other financial services include investment and holding companies, stock and share brokers/dealers, brokers/dealers in commodity futures, foreign exchange, gold bullion, etc.

138

4.35 Investment and holding companies provide management services to their subsidiaries, with or without making a charge. They also receive interest and dividends from loans and advances, and from investment in subsidiaries, and other types of investment. The value of services provided by holding and management companies is measured by the amount of management fees received and other forms of business receipts such as rentals received, commissions and other service charges. 4.36 For stock and share brokers/dealers and brokers/dealers in other financial assets, the value of the services they provide to their clients is measured by their service charges, commissions and brokerages, and other fees received. Rentals received are also included in compiling the gross output. However, any gain/loss from trading in financial and other assets on own account is excluded in compiling the gross output. For firms providing miscellaneous financial services to customers, the value of services they provide is also measured by their service charges, commissions and fees. 4.37 The intermediate consumption of other financial services comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies and services consumed in business operation, advertising, insurance, legal, accounting and other professional services. Interest payments are not included as intermediate consumption. Insurance services 4.38 The producers of insurance services comprise life and general insurers, insurance agents, and specialist firms providing professional insurance services. Other than those companies specialising in life insurance policies, insurance companies underwriting all other types of policies are referred to as general insurance companies. 4.39 Life insurance companies provide some form of financial security for the policy holder, and look after and invest that part of any individual’s savings which are included in the premiums. The “payment” which life insurance companies receive for these services is difficult to measure. The United Nations recommends that the value of the services provided by life insurance companies should equal premiums less claims and net additions to life funds. The method was applied but resulted in a negative value added. Hence, other methods of compilation were investigated. After consulting a number of prominent insurance firms, a formula was devised based on methods of compiling the present values of future premiums and claims and net additions to life funds. The formula is believed to give the value of services rendered which are consistent with the actual practices of life insurance companies. The present data collected from the economic survey are however, not completed enough for using this formula. Recourse was therefore made to a method used by the U.S. Department of Commerce (See Readings in Concepts and Methods of National Income Statistics, p. 27, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 1976 issue). In this method, the imputed service charge of life insurance companies is the sum of operating expenses and compensation of employees. This method does not account for profits and no direct reference is made to additions to life funds. 4.40 For general insurance companies, the value of services rendered by general insurers to policy holders is measured by net retained premiums less net claims paid, plus income from investment of financial assets. Their receipts from agency or other services rendered (including reinsurance commission) and rentals received are also included in their gross output. 4.41 The value of services provided by insurance agents, brokers, and other specialist firms rendering professional insurance services to clients is measured by their service receipts, fees and commissions. 4.42 The intermediate consumption of insurance services comprises rentals, expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, advertising, communication and other claim-handling services. Claim-handling services refer to investigatory and surveying services, etc. in processing applications for insurance compensation. For general insurers appointing agents in their underwriting business, the commissions paid to agents have been deducted from the value of gross premiums to

139

obtain the value of net retained premium. Consequently these commissions are not included in the value of their intermediate consumption. The payments made by an insurance company to individual agents employed by the company and serving solely the company are treated as compensation of employees. Real estate development, real estate leasing, brokerage and management services 4.43 Real estate developers provide services in arranging for contractors, architects, designers, etc. to construct residential and non-residential buildings and in financing the projects. Their reward in these activities is estimated by the difference between the selling prices of properties and the project outlays. In addition, real estate developers may lease out properties, act as estate agents and receive commissions or payments for the service of facilitating the transfer of property, or act as property managers. Any margin received from resales of existing properties must be excluded from the gross output. The resale margin of existing properties is not reckoned as an economic output. It is treated in the national accounts as a capital gain. 4.44 Practical difficulties arise in estimating the margin of real estate developers on property development. For buildings which are completely built within a year and sold in the same year, no major problems occur. The margin in this case would be equal to the selling price of the building less the value of the total costs incurred by the developer in respect of the project (excluding interest payments incurred). However, problems would arise if the buildings are not completely built and sold within the same year. The developer will then have incurred costs on the work-in-progress over the construction period but no sales receipts have been received as the building is still not yet completed or sold. Conceptually, this ambiguity (in the commercial accounting profit/loss sense) can be overcome in the national accounts by measuring the value of the work-in-progress to the real estate developer irrespective of whether payments have been made or received. This is a measure corresponding to the value of economic activity performed. However, there are practical difficulties in assessing the value of the work-in-progress to the real estate developer. In the economic survey for real estate developers, respondents are asked to give the actual or expected value of their properties at the beginning and the end of the reference period respectively. If the properties have actually been sold, the actual sales values are recorded, otherwise the catalogued selling prices of properties or other values given by the respondents are recorded. When the real estate market is good and properties are selling quickly, developers are well aware of the value of their properties. However when the market is falling and transactions are few, developers may not be able to give reasonable replies. For developers who fail to provide the data, property values are imputed from data on sales in similar areas by type and size of building. The property values as at the beginning and the end of the reference period are then expressed at current mid-year prices to reduce the effects of changes in prices on such values. Finally the property value at current mid-year prices is multiplied by the percentage of the property completed during the reference period, to give the value of the work-in-progress to the real estate developer. The developer’s margin is obtained as the value of the work-in-progress less all project outlays incurred during the year, excluding interest payments. The value of gross output of the real estate developers comprises the margin on property development, service charges, commissions and rentals received, etc. 4.45 For firms engaged in real estate leasing, brokerage and management services, the gross output corresponds to their service receipts which comprise rentals received from leased properties owned by these companies, commissions earned in respect of property transactions, real estate management fees and other service receipts. 4.46 The intermediate consumption of real estate developers and real estate leasing, brokerage and management firms comprises expenses on sundry supplies consumed in business, rentals, rates and expenses in relation to real estate activities like estate management expenses, advertising, professional fees and other overhead expenses.

140

Business services 4.47 Business services include activities such as accounting, auditing, legal, architectural design, engineering and other technical consultancy, data processing, advertising, market research, machinery and equipment rental and leasing services. 4.48 The value of business services provided by firms is generally measured by the fees, commissions and other charges received, including rentals from buildings and machinery. For advertising agents, their gross receipts from advertisements often include charges paid to the media. These charges which are paid on behalf of their clients are not included in measuring the gross output of advertising agents. Hence only the net receipt, i.e. gross receipts less any amounts paid to the third party, is included in the gross output of advertising agents. Similar treatment applies to market research and public relations firms. 4.49 The value of intermediate consumption of business services comprises expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, rentals, rates, commissions and cost of contract work and other operating expenses such as advertising, transport and communications.

Community, social and personal services 4.50 Producers of community, social and personal services comprise organisations providing a wide range of services to individuals and households such as education, medical and health, sanitary, laundry, repair, hairdressing and photo-finishing services. The general administration, public order and safety services and other services provided by government departments which are not engaged in market activities, are also included. Services such as education, medical and health and welfare are mainly provided by the government and private non-profit institutions. Data sources for these services include government accounts and administrative records, accounts of private non-profit institutions and survey data collected from a small sample of commercial establishments rendering personal services. 4.51 Government services and services provided by private non-profit institutions are usually provided to the public free or at prices below their input costs of production. The value of services rendered by these organisations is estimated as the sum of the input costs, i.e. operating expenses (including imputed rentals, for which a fuller description is provided in paragraph 4.56) and compensation of employees. The operating expenses are treated as intermediate consumption, and compensation of employees as value added for such kind of services. 4.52 For government services, detailed expenditure accounts reclassified by purpose are used for compiling the output estimates. In view of the establishment of Hospital Authority in December 1991, ex-subvented hospitals, which were previously classified as “producers of private non-profit services”, are classified as “producers of government services” from 1992 (see paragraph 3.26). 4.53 Compilation of the value of services provided by private non-profit institutions is based on two sources of data. For government-subvented organisations, data on such activities are obtained from accounting records furnished by these institutions annually to government departments overseeing these subventions. These include the Education and Manpower Bureau overseeing subventions to schools, the Social Welfare Department overseeing subventions to activities such as community development, child-care and services organised for youths and the aged, and also the Department of Health overseeing subventions to clinics and health services. In addition, a survey on expenditure of private non-profit institutions was conducted for the year 1980 to provide benchmark data on output of other private non-profit institutions not receiving government subventions.

4.54 Statistics for commercial establishments are based on results from a small scale sample survey supplemented by data from other sources, including employment and earnings statistics and tax statistics. The survey has been conducted annually since 1980 to provide data for compiling the gross output of these commercial establishments, their intermediate consumption and compensation of employees. Gross output of these establishments comprises mainly receipts from services rendered in the form of fees, commissions and other service charges, margin on resale of goods and rentals received. 4.55 As in the case of other industries, the value of intermediate consumption for these services comprises expenses on materials and supplies consumed in business operation, rentals, rates and other operating expenses such as advertising, transport and communications.

Ownership of premises 4.56 Ownership of premises is treated as an economic activity in the national accounts. The rentals paid represent an expenditure for households or intermediate consumption for business firms, and the rentals received a sale of a commodity-type service or output derived from ownership of premises. For business firms letting out premises which they own, the services they provide are measured by rentals received, and are included in the gross output of the activity to which the firms belong. However, the leasing services provided to tenants by owners of premises in their individual capacity have not been accounted for in any of the activities described so far. Hence, a separate activity, viz. ownership of premises, is introduced for this purpose. Besides leasing services provided to tenants by owners of premises in their individual capacity, this activity also covers leasing services which owners of premises like households, government and private non-profit institutions, provide to themselves. An imputed figure on rentals for such properties is added to the national income calculations to reflect the value of the services rendered. Strictly speaking, any sums spent on maintenance and repair of such properties should be treated as a cost, or expenditure in the “owner-occupier” accounts, and the balance of imputed rentals over these sums taken to represent the operating surplus. In this way, the imputed expenditure on rentals by the owner-occupier is recorded in the expenditure approach and the imputed operating surplus in the production approach. Since data for compiling the cost of maintenance and repair of owner-occupied property are not available, a 5% allowance has been made for such expenditure in the figures compiled from the production approach to derive the value of operating surplus. 4.57 The estimate of ownership of private domestic premises includes both the rentals of private domestic premises received by households together with the imputed rentals of households occupying their own premises. It is estimated based on the rateable value of all private domestic premises supplied by the Rating and Valuation Department, after discounting the related rentals received by companies from households. 4.58 Similarly, for owner-occupied premises of government and private non-profit institutions, imputed rentals are compiled for the leasing services provided for their own consumption. The imputed rentals are also incorporated into the GDP figures compiled from the expenditure approach accordingly. The benchmark figures of imputed rentals for premises owned and used by government departments not engaged in market activities and private non-profit institutions were imputed for the reference years 1980, 1985 and 1990. The information of such premises was obtained from administrative records of the government, and a specially conducted survey on premises owned and occupied by private non-profit institutions. These buildings were broadly categorised into offices, quarters, schools, hospitals, and buildings for community, religious and recreational, public order and safety and other miscellaneous purposes. Structures and facilities for civil engineering and special purposes were excluded. Professional advice was sought from the Rating and Valuation Department in assessing the rentals for these properties. Based on the assessments, the imputed rentals were compiled. Notwithstanding the reasonably wide scope of data sources, the estimates still have

142

technical limitations as information on market transactions is not available for many types of properties, particularly special purpose buildings. Hence the imputation method is far from perfect but the results should be reasonably good for national accounts purpose. 4.59 For owner-occupiers of non-residential properties e.g. offices, factories, shops in the business sector, no imputation of rentals has been made. This is because any imputed rentals will simultaneously be an expense (intermediate consumption) and a receipt (gross output) of the owner-occupier firm. The omission will not in consequence affect the statistics on value added. 4.60 The figures of ownership of premises are updated based on information furnished by government departments and private non-profit institutions on additions and deletions to existing stocks of buildings and rental indices for different types of buildings.

Adjustment for financial intermediation services indirectly measured 4.61 “Financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM)” has been described in paragraphs 4.30 and 4.31, with background reasons for including its value in the output of financial intermediaries. It, equal to net interest receipts, is added to the gross output, and consequently to the value added. Having done this, it is necessary to deduct such from the value added of other industries which are charged for the use of the services. However, in practice it is very difficult to establish a basis for this to be done, and the internationally accepted practice is to adjust the GDP by deducting the value of FISIM from the aggregated value added of all producers. Constant Price GDP by Economic Activity 4.62 With the development and enhancement of monthly and quarterly economic surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department in recent years, more economic data are available, including the availability of short-term economic indicators (e.g. quarterly business receipts of service industries) and producer price indices (PPIs) for selected services industries. PPI is a measure of the average change in prices of goods and services received by local producers. Producer prices are transacted prices, net of any discounts, rebates or allowances given to buyers but including surcharges received by producers. The availability of such data enables the compilation of quarterly GDP by economic activity at constant prices. 4.63 Constant price value added of economic activities in Hong Kong is generally compiled using four methods: (a) single extrapolation of base year value added by deflated gross output measures e.g. business receipts deflated by PPI; (b) single extrapolation of base year value added by volume/quantity measures such as volume of trade and physical units of outputs; (c) single extrapolation of base year value added by input indicators such as hours worked; (d) double indicators methods. The first two methods are most frequently applied in Hong Kong for compiling quarterly constant price value added, as in statistically advanced economies (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, and U.K.). Single extrapolation by deflated gross output measures 4.64 In calculating deflated gross output, relevant price deflators are needed. For manufacturing, relevant producer price indices (PPIs) are used as price deflators of gross output. For construction, price deflators employed include type-specific construction output deflators (e.g. offices, residential buildings, civil engineering works), the Civil Engineering Works Index (CEWI), Building Services Tender Price Index (BSTPI) and other price indices. For hotels and boarding houses; air, land and maritime transport activities, respective PPIs are also used.

143

Single extrapolation by volume/quantity indicators 4.65 The method of single extrapolation by volume/quantity indicators is commonly applied under two circumstances. The first circumstance is where the service prices of economic activities are both theoretically and practically very difficult to measure, as in the case of wholesale, retail and import/export trade services and financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM). 4.66 The services provided by wholesale, retail and import/export traders are to make available goods at a location and time convenient for their customers. While the value of the services can be estimated by trade margin (which is calculated as sales of goods minus cost of goods sold), the prices of the services provided are not readily observable. To estimate the volume of the services, the recommended approach by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Eurostat is to construct a volume indicator by using the volume of goods passing through the distributive channels. Likewise, the prices of FISIM are not readily observable. This is because in providing financial intermediation services, banks do not charge their customers explicitly. The recommended approach by IMF and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is to use deflated stock of assets and liabilities of banks as volume indicator. 4.67 The second circumstance is where quantity indicators are highly correlated with volume of output and hence provide good proxies for estimating constant price value added (e.g. statistics on outward external telephone traffic volume is used as an indicator to extrapolate the constant price value added of international telephone services). Single extrapolation by input indicators 4.68 In extrapolation by input indicators, the commonly used indicators are deflated wages and hours worked. Deflated wages indicators are applied to economic activities of which the output is estimated by cost approach, viz. the government and private non-profit bodies output in Hong Kong. For indicators of hours worked, they are at present applied to selected business service industries. Double indicators method 4.69 In applying the double indicators method, constant price value added is calculated by subtracting constant price intermediate consumption from constant price gross output. Constant price intermediate consumption and gross output can be obtained by either deflation of current price figures or extrapolation by relevant indicators. Thus, the double indicators method requires detailed data on the outputs and inputs of respective economic activities and their prices. Owing to data availability problem, this method is not commonly used by statistically advanced economies in deriving quarterly constant price value added. In Hong Kong, double indicators method is applied to the electricity, gas and restaurants industries. 4.70 The methods for compiling the quarterly constant price value added of individual economic activities are summarised below:

Electricity, Gas and Water

Electricity and gas Double indicators method.

The quantity of electricity/gas consumption supplied by the electricity companies/gas company is used as the volume indicator for constant price gross output. Constant price intermediate consumption is obtained by direct deflation.

import/export trades Single extrapolation by volume indicators. Deflated wholesale and retail sales, volume of external trade in goods and constant price exports of merchanting and other trade-related services (mainly gross margin of merchanting and commissions from merchandising) are used as the volume indicators. Wholesale sales are obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries, while retail sales from the Monthly Survey of Retail Sales. Statistics on external trade in goods are obtained from monthly external trade statistics. Statistics on exports of merchanting and other trade-related services are obtained from GDP compiled by the expenditure approach. Deflators are relevant CCPI components and external trade unit value indices (UVI).

145

Restaurants Double indicators method. Constant price gross output and intermediate consumption are obtained by direct deflation. Statistics on restaurant receipts and purchases are obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Restaurant Receipts and Purchases. Deflators used for deflating gross output are relevant CCPI components. Deflators used for deflating intermediate consumption include rental indices and CCPI of electricity, fuels and water, etc.

Hotels and boarding

houses Single extrapolation by deflated business receipts. Business receipt deflated by producer price index (PPI) obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries is used as volume indicator.

Transport, Storage and Communications Transport and storage Single extrapolation by deflated business receipts.

Business receipts deflated by PPIs obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries are used as volume indicators.

Communications Single extrapolation by volume/quantity indicators.

Total air time of mobile network used, outward external telephone traffic volume and deflated business receipts of relevant industries are used as the volume indicators. Total air time of mobile network used and outward external telephone traffic volume are supplied by the Office of Telecommunications Authority. Statistics on business receipts of the relevant industries and the corresponding PPIs are obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries.

Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services Financing Single extrapolation by volume indicators/deflated business receipts.

For banking, deflated stock of financial assets and liabilities, deflated foreign currency positions and deflated income from fees and commissions are used as the volume indicators.

Real estate developers’ margin (REDM), occupied floor area of private offices and commercial buildings, deflated business receipts and deflated rental income of Housing Authority are used as the volume indicators. REDM is obtained from the GDP by expenditure approach, while data on floor area and vacancy rate are obtained from the Rating and Valuation Department. Statistics on business receipts and the relevant PPIs are obtained from the Quarterly Survey of Service Industries.

Business services Single extrapolation by deflated business receipts/input indicator.

Deflated business receipts are used for single extrapolation when business receipts and PPIs are available. For other business services, number of hours worked is used for single extrapolation.The number of hours worked is compiled based on statistics collected from the Survey of Employment and Vacancies and the General Household Survey.

imports Direct deflation. Value of taxes on production and imports are obtained from the Treasury. The deflators used include indices of relevant tax rates, property price index and hotel bills index.

147

Limitations of the Compilation Method 4.71 Economic surveys are the main source of data for compiling GDP by economic activity. Information so collected may not be recorded on a calendar year basis, as quite a large number of respondents reported data on a fiscal year basis or for some other period, whilst annual GDP at current prices are compiled on a calendar year basis. Data on national accounts aggregates from economic surveys are therefore subject to imprecision arising from deviations from the calendar year basis of reporting. Under certain circumstances when deviations between data reported on calendar year basis and non-calendar year basis in economic surveys are considered to be significant, national accounting compilation procedures are needed to adjust the results from the surveys. 4.72 For commercial establishments in community, social and personal services, only a small scale survey was undertaken. In view of the diversity in the range of services provided by these establishments, coverage may be incomplete. Other related sources of data such as employment and earnings statistics and profits tax statistics are used to cross-check the survey data and adjustments are made where necessary. 4.73 Imputed rentals are subject to limitations due to incomplete coverage with regard to buildings owned and occupied by private non-profit institutions. Also, the procedure for assessing the market rentals of different types of properties is necessarily imprecise, since market information on special purpose buildings such as hospitals and schools is virtually non-existent.

5. Annual Current Price GDP by Economic Activity and by Factor Income, 1970-1980

5.1 Some interim estimates of GDP by economic activity and by factor income were published for 1970-1980 in the earlier issues of this publication. Sources of data used for compiling these estimates included tax statistics, population censuses, and employment and earnings surveys. However, due to serious data limitations, these estimates were considered not very satisfactory. They were produced in the absence of anything better to serve as a rough guide to the relative importance of the different activities, and should be used and interpreted with care. 5.2 With the availability of a full set of GDP by economic activity, this method has been discontinued. For reference and comparison with past data, however, estimates for the years 1970, 1975 and 1980 showing the distribution of GDP by economic activity and by factor income are given below. The classification basis of the estimates by economic activity is not strictly comparable with the GDP compiled from the production approach. Ownership of premises was included under major division 8 in the interim estimates, but it is now quite clear that these were underestimated. Also, ownership of premises in the GDP figures compiled from the production approach includes imputed rentals for government and private non-profit institutions. This was not taken into account in the interim estimates. Moreover, charges of financial intermediation services indirectly measured was not required for the interim estimates because data on profits tax had taken into account interest payments and receipts by firms.

6. Gross National Product (GNP) Introduction 6.1 The Census and Statistics Department has started to compile Gross National Product (GNP) since the reference year of 1993 to meet a growing demand for such data to analyse the Hong Kong economy. This Section provides the basic concepts and compilation methods related to GNP.

Conceptual framework and method of compiling GNP

6.2 GDP is an aggregate measure of the total value of production of all resident producing units within the economic territory of an economy in a specified period, before deducting allowance for consumption of fixed capital. Since production is rewarded by income, GDP also measures the total income arising from such current production, irrespective of whether the factors (labour, capital) for producing the goods or providing the services are owned by residents or by non-residents. 6.3 GNP, on the other hand, is a measure of the total income earned by residents of an economy from engaging in various economic activities, irrespective of whether the economic activities are carried out within the economic territory or outside. In other words, in compiling GNP, earnings of residents from various economic activities within or outside the economic territory are included, whereas earnings of non-residents from economic activities within the economic territory are excluded. 6.4 GNP is compiled by the following formula:

GNP = GDP + Factor income earned by residents from outside the economic territory – Factor income earned by non-residents from within the economic territory

6.5 As can be seen above, the concept of “resident” is crucial to the compilation of both GDP and GNP. Practically, residents of an economy include individuals and organisations. According to international statistical standards, for individuals, residents refer to those who normally stay in the economic territory of the economy, irrespective of their nationality. For organisations, residents refer to those which ordinarily operate in the economic territory. The economic territory of an economy is the geographic territory administered by the government of the economy within which persons, goods and capital circulate freely. Conceptually, the residence status of individuals and organisations depends on their centre of economic interest. 6.6 GNP at constant market prices is obtained by adding to GDP at constant market prices the real net External Factor Income Flow (EFIF). Real net EFIF is obtained by deflating nominal EFIFs based on the implicit price deflator of domestic demand. 6.7 On 1 July 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Data on transactions, and assets and liabilities vis-à-vis the mainland of China (the Mainland) are treated as external transactions and external positions respectively. Hence, factor income flows between Hong Kong and the Mainland are treated as external factor income flows and are covered in Hong Kong's GNP figures.

150

Major components of external factor income flows (EFIF)

6.8 The classification of EFIF is basically similar to the classification of standard components of the Income Account of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM) published by the International Monetary Fund in 1993. These income components are direct investment income (DII), portfolio investment income (PII), other investment income (OII) and compensation of employees (CE).

Direct investment income 6.9 DII refers to earnings of residents from direct investment in business outside the economic territory, in which they have a lasting interest and a degree of influence or control over the management. These earnings are in the form of net interest receipts on intercompany debts, receipts of distributed dividends, share of undistributed profits and gross rentals. 6.10 External investment in real estate, as specified by BPM, is also a form of direct investment. By statistical convention, land and other immovable structures and objects (e.g. building) in an economy can only be owned by residents of that economy. If a Hong Kong resident owns real estate outside the economic territory of Hong Kong, he should be regarded as owning a nominal company in the economy in question which in turn owns the real estate. The relationship between such nominal company and legal owner of the land and structures is then treated as a direct investment relationship. 6.11 In general, if a Hong Kong company creates a business entity outside the economic territory of Hong Kong for the purpose of holding some assets in Hong Kong, the income generated by those assets will be compiled as income outflow to the business entity, and then as income inflow from the entity back to the final owner(s) of the investment.

Portfolio investment income 6.12 PII refers to earnings of residents from investment in non-resident equities (i.e. stocks and shares) and debt securities (e.g. negotiable certificates of deposits, bonds and bills). Compared with investors making direct investment, portfolio investors in equity and debt securities of non-resident business enterprises have no lasting interest or influence in the management of the companies they invest. A holding of less than 10% of equity in a company is regarded as portfolio investment. 6.13 The residence status of securities is determined by the legal domicile and place of productive operation of the issuing company, irrespective of the place of listing. Therefore, shares that are issued by resident companies are regarded as resident shares. In a stock exchange of an economy, there may be both listings of resident and non-resident shares.

Other investment income 6.14 OII refers to external flows of interest incomes derived from other financial claims on and liabilities to non-residents that are not classified as DII or PII. Examples of these claims and liabilities include short-term and long-term non-marketable loans, deposits, financial leases and trade credit.

Compensation of employees 6.15 CE refers to labour income earned by non-residents from their employment within the economic territory of Hong Kong and labour income earned by residents from their employment outside the

151

economic territory of Hong Kong. It comprises wages, salaries and other remuneration whether paid in cash or in kind. 6.16 Labour income earned by Hong Kong residents from Mainland enterprises due to employment in personal capacity in the Mainland is classified as CE inflow of Hong Kong. For Hong Kong residents who frequently travel to and from the Mainland in their work, the labour income they earn from their employers in Hong Kong is, however, not included in CE inflow. On the contrary, for Hong Kong people who reside in the neighboring Mainland cities and commute daily from there to work in Hong Kong, they are regarded as residents of the Mainland under the principle of principal residence. Accordingly, the labour income they earn from their employers in Hong Kong is included in CE outflow. 6.17 According to international statistical standard, foreign embassies, consulates and government offices located in an economy are considered non-residents of the economy. Therefore, the labour income earned by Hong Kong residents working from employment in such organisations in Hong Kong is regarded as CE inflow. On the other hand, the labour income earned by local staff of Hong Kong government offices located in other economies is regarded as CE outflow. 6.18 Some Hong Kong people work outside the economic territory of Hong Kong in the capacity of freelance specialists (e.g. singers, lawyers, doctors). Usually they work as employees of Hong Kong companies owned by themselves which are created for signing legal binding contracts with non-residents and for receiving earnings. The earnings of these freelance specialists from outside the economic territory of Hong Kong are treated as trade in services and are already covered in GDP.

Methods and Data Sources

Survey of External Claims, Liabilities and Income 6.19 GNP is compiled based on GDP and data on EFIF collected from the Survey of External Claims, Liabilities and Income (SECLI), supplemented by data from other sources. The survey is conducted under the provision of the Census and Statistics ordinance.

Survey coverage and data collection method 6.20 The survey covers all business undertakings which are residents of Hong Kong. A business undertaking is an undertaking carrying on any business with or without a view to profit and includes any such undertaking carried on by the government or a statutory corporation. 6.21 An integrated inquiry form is used in the survey whereby data of all EFIF components are collected. Besides facilitating field work, the form also helps avoid any potential duplicate reporting of the same income flows under different income components.

Data reporting arrangements

Accounting units for data reporting 6.22 A business undertaking is required to report information on EFIF during the reference period, including EFIFs that it generates on its own account (own-account reporting), and EFIFs accrued to its clients on which it possesses the relevant information (pass-through reporting).

152

6.23 For own-account data reporting, the accounting unit is a Hong Kong Enterprise Group (HKEG) where the Hong Kong top company is the contact point for own-account reporting at the HKEG level. 6.24 For pass-through data reporting, the accounting unit is a single Hong Kong company. Very often income flows from portfolio investment are passed through local financial intermediaries or agents. These financial intermediaries or agents are thus able to report on behalf of their clients the relevant data required by the survey. Their clients include households, companies, government units and non-profit institutions.

Target companies for data reporting 6.25 Only those designated as target companies in the survey are responsible for completing questionnaires. Companies other than target companies are not required to complete any questionnaire because their EFIF data would be reported by target companies on their behalf. 6.26 Hong Kong top companies of HKEGs are designated as target companies for reporting DII inflow and outflow with reference to the consolidated account of the respective enterprise groups. Other companies are designated as target companies if they are any of the following:

(a) companies which are not top companies but owning foreign branches and/or subsidiaries; (b) companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK); (c) companies engaged in banking, insurance, share registration, fund management,

custodian or money lending businesses other than banks; and (d) companies which have external claims, liabilities and income transactions where no

Hong Kong agent is involved. 6.27 All target companies mentioned above form the target population of business undertakings for enumeration.

Dividend data reported by share registrars, fund management companies and custodians 6.28 Since many parties are involved in a financial transaction and there are agent-to-agent dealings, target companies of different business sectors are selected to report EFIF data with respect to different types of financial instruments, in order to ensure full coverage but to avoid duplications. 6.29 For example, share registrars are required to report dividends on resident shares listed on SEHK distributed to non-residents, and dividends received by residents on non-resident shares listed on SEHK. Local custodians and fund managers are asked to report dividends earned on behalf of non-resident clients or non-resident funds from investments in resident and non-resident shares listed on SEHK. Dividends earned from resident shares on behalf of non-residents are added to the dividend outflow figures obtained from share registrars, while those earned from non-resident shares on behalf of non-residents are deducted from the dividend inflow figures obtained from share registrars.

Investment income data versus investment position data 6.30 To help alleviate reporting burden of custodians and fund managers who usually only keep data on realised gains (i.e. capital gains plus investment income) from which income data cannot be identified separately, they are requested to report the market value of securities held by them at the beginning and end of the reference period. Income data are then derived from these investment position data by using representative market yields.

153

6.31 Banks are heavily involved in external placement of funds. These income transactions are voluminous and may not even be separately recorded in their accounts. To reduce their reporting burden, they are asked to report only their positions of external assets and liabilities, which they are already reporting to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, as well as estimates of average interest rates, so that the corresponding EFIFs can be derived.

CE flows 6.32 In light of growing number of Hong Kong people working and/or residing in the Mainland, and offices set up outside the territory by the Hong Kong Government in recent years, enhancements to the methodology for compiling CE estimates have been made on the basis of more relevant data obtained from various sources. A revised series of CE estimates has also been backdated to 1993.

Limitations of the EFIF Statistics 6.33 Given the close economic links between Hong Kong and the mainland of China, it is common that some Hong Kong individuals have made direct investment in the mainland of China without setting up companies in Hong Kong. As individuals making direct investment outside Hong Kong without setting up a registered firm are not covered by SECLI, the income flows generated are estimated from other sources. 6.34 Local financial intermediaries and agents are the main data suppliers of PII on behalf of their clients. For those households making portfolio investment without involving local financial intermediaries and agents, the income flows generated are not captured under the present reporting arrangement, but the amount involved is expected to be insignificant. 6.35 Some resident households may have offshore deposits. The interest earnings generated by such deposits are not captured by SECLI, but estimated from other sources.

Real Gross National Income 6.36 While the real output of an economy is usually represented by GDP at constant market prices, the real purchasing power of the output of an economy may be represented by Real Gross Domestic Income (RGDI), as described in paragraphs 3.70-3.75. Corresponding to RGDI, the real purchasing power of the total income earned by residents of an economy may be represented by Real Gross National Income (RGNI), which is obtained by adding to RGDI the real net EFIF. RGNI is a useful explanatory variable in studies on various income related economic phenomena such as consumption demand, investment intention and inflation.

Revision and Publication of GNP and EFIF Statistics

6.37 Preliminary figures on quarterly GNP and EFIF, compiled from the corresponding GDP figures and results of SECLI, are released within 3 months after the reference quarter. GNP and EFIF at current market prices for 2000 to 2004 and the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2004 are presented in Table A. GNP at constant (2000) prices and RGNI (2000-based) for 2001 to 2004 and the first quarter of 2001 to the fourth quarter of 2004 are shown in Table B.
