Industrial Estate and 26% of the land in the
Yuen Long Industrial Estate had been
allocated (Table 6).
Feedback from Industry Department
26.
Some qualitative information on the
recent trend of capital investment was
obtained by the Industry Department during
regular factory visits and from general
contacts with manufacturers. The
information, which is largely specific in
nature and probably subjective, is summarised
below :-
(i)
Manufacturers' investment
intentions varied among
different industries in the
third quarter of 1988,
depending mainly on the demand
for their products in the
overseas market. While
manufacturers in the
electronics and metal products
industries were more inclined
to invest in new or upgraded
equipment, investment in such
industries as plastics and textiles was generally
sluggish.
