A LITTLE ABOUT HONG KONG

TRADE

Business is at the heart of life in Hong Kong. Goods arrive by air and sea from all over the world. Plus there are hundreds of banks, international companies, a busy stock exchange...

But Hong Kong isn't just a trading centre for everyone else's goods and money. It makes and sells its own products, too. In fact it exports more than China, which has 180 time as many people. Total exports represent US$ 9,000 per person per year - that's four times the exports of the average Briton, five times the average Japanese and ten times the average American. And what exactly does Hong Kong sell abroad? Well, it's a long list, but it includes... clothes, toys, high-tech electronic goods, plastics, jewellery, cameras, watches.
