Osec point of view – why a SBH in Hong Kong?
-
Osec checks every 1-2 years their countries of priority, by updating & optimizing
the needs of Switzerland and those of the Swiss SME’s.
-
Our recent analysis has shown that the Swiss Business Hubs (excluding RSA)
are still at the right place. At the same time, the analysis shows that we have
some gaps.
-
An important cornerstone of Swiss Foreign Trade Policy is the bilateral free
trade agreement. Recently, there have been several agreements completed.
More important ones will follow.
-
Osec will increase its activities in countries with FTA, so that the Swiss export
industry can have a better benefit from this agreement. With the opening of the
SBH in Hong Kong, Osec is already pursuing this strategy.
-
This path will be continued in 2012 consistently, as the external network is
representing a real USP of the government-sponsored export promotion.
Osec point of view – why SBH in Hong Kong?
-
The opening of an SBH supports the official foreign trade policy of Switzerland,
which sets a base for the exporters on the lines of the FTA. This is then
developed by Osec using targeted promotions.
-
The time factor is relevant: the EU countries do not have an FTA with HKG.
Thus, Swiss companies have a comparative advantage which should be
exploited (Window of Opportunity).
-
The opening of a SBH in HKG is in line with Osec’s strategy as Osec wants their
presence felt strongly in countries like Hong Kong.
-
The opportunities that exist in Hong Kong (especially through the FTA) must,
however, be actively promoted. Otherwise they are perceived in Switzerland
(especially in SMEs) as being too little.
-
On top of this Location Promotion can be pushed strongly in Hong Kong.
Which Status has Hong Kong ?
• With regards to Hong Kong SAR, China follows the principle “one
country - two systems"
• This allows Hong Kong to maintain its status of a Special Administrative
Region, however directly reports to the Central Government in Beijing
who allows great deal of autonomy especially in foreign trade.
• Exceptions to this autonomy, are defense and foreign affairs.

Trade between Switzerland and Hong Kong.
• According to the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department,
Switzerland was the 12th largest trading partner of Hong Kong in 2011.
Switzerland was Hong Kong's 9th largest supplier and 19th largest
export market.
• In 2011, Swiss exports to Mainland China (CHF 8,831 million in value)
and Hong Kong (CHF 7,902 million in value) accounted for 8% of global
Swiss exports. Hong Kong, next to China, was Switzerland’s second
largest market in Asia. On the other hand, Swiss imports from China
(CHF 6,299 million) and Hong Kong (CHF 1,643 million) totaled CHF
7,942 million. Switzerland got a trade surplus worth CHF 8,791 million

Economic trends – 2nd half 2012.
Business climate
GDP:
Investments:
Private Consumption:
Foreign Trade:
according to the government the GDP will increase by 1 to 3% in 2012. Growth is
expected to be at the upper end of the scale.
Large investments into infrastructure projects ensure a continued boom.
Consumer spending remains one of the main drivers of the economy.
Foreign trade slowed down at the beginning of the year, and will continue to soften
compared to previous years.
Sectors
Machinery:
Chemicals:
Deliveries to South China will most likely recover during the 2nd half of the year.
The petrochemical industry across the Pearl River Delta continues to expand.
Consumer Goods:
The demand for high quality consumer-, luxury & lifestyle goods e.g. watches &
jewellery is still booming.
Especially the industry across South China is using less semi-finished goods.
Hospitals will have to be equipped with high-end quality standards.
Waste management, renewable energy, smart buildings are in high demand.
Weaker foreign trade may give the industry sector some headache.

International and regional economic agreements.
•
Hong Kong is a free port which thrives on free trade. Its open door policy has
enabled the city to become the world's 10th largest trading economy and an
international financial and commercial centre serving the Asia-Pacific region and
China. The cornerstone of this approach is a strong and credible multilateral
trading system.
•
Hong Kong is a founding member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Hong
Kong became a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and
the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC) in 1991. Hong Kong belongs,
in its own right, to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Customs
Organization (WCO). Since April 1994, Hong Kong has been an observer in the
Trade Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD).
Hong Kong’s policy and priorities.
•
Hong Kong has concluded three free trade agreements with Mainland China
(the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement CEPA), New Zealand and the
EFTA States (including Switzerland). The one with the EFTA States, signed on
21st June 2011, is Hong Kong's first free trade agreement with the European
economies.
•
Hong Kong signed an agreement for avoidance of double taxation with
Switzerland on 4th October 2011. Hong Kong is actively seeking to establish a
network of such agreements with its major trading and investment partners.
•
According to the HKSAR Government, both the free trade agreement with the
EFTA states and the agreement for avoidance of double taxation with
Switzerland have been approved by the Legislative Council in Hong Kong.
•
Furthermore, Hong Kong has signed investment promotion and protection
agreements with 17 countries including Finland, Kuwait, the Netherlands,
Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Italy, France,
Germany, Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union, Austria, Japan, Korea, the
United Kingdom and Thailand.
Bilateral trade.
•
According to the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department, Switzerland
was the 12th largest trading partner of Hong Kong in 2011. Switzerland was
Hong Kong's 9th largest supplier and 19th largest export market.
•
There has been a substantial quantity of Swiss products entering China via
Hong Kong in recent years (from US$ 518mio in 2005 to US$ 1,022mio in
2011). In this regard, Swiss exporters and manufacturers may make use of
Hong Kong as a known entrepôt and trade hub (which has a huge cluster of
traders who are experienced in the market of China) to do business with China.

Greentech:
•
The Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) Government has launched various programmes and has committed to
introduce new measures to reduce GHG emissions and promote environmental protection.
•
This has created new business opportunities for environmental companies in green technology, renewable
energy, waste recycling recovery, construction and demolition waste disposal, electric vehicles, cleaner
technologies and processes for infrastructure projects and carbon audits. This is why the Government has
identified the Environment Industry as one of six key industries where Hong Kong has excellent
development potential.

•
Hong Kong is a favourite place for dealmakers from around the world to meet, with events like the annual
Eco Expo bringing together energy and renewables professionals from around the world
•
It is a meeting place for organisations that need to offset the carbon footprint of polluting businesses in
countries with strict controls
