Notes: (1) In the financing industry, value added was not compiled for investment and holding companies owing to the special features of their business operations. Hence, total value added for the industry did not include that of investment and holding companies.
(2) Financing industry excluded banks, deposit-taking companies and restricted licence banks.
(3) Value added and gross surplus were not compiled for the insurance industry.
(4) Figures denoting changes are derived from unrounded figures.
(5) Value added is a measure of the contribution of an economic sector to Hong Kong's Gross Domestic Product. The definition
can be found in the "1991 Survey of Storage, Communication, Financing, Insurance and Business Services" Report.
(6) # denotes change less than ± 0.5%.
