SURVEY ON INVESTMENT IN HK'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
****
THE INDUSTRY DEPARTMENT WILL SOON BE CONDUCTING A SURVEY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT OVERSEAS INVESTMENT IN HONG KONG'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. THIS SURVEY IS NOW CARRIED OUT ANNUALLY (THE 1986 REPORT WAS PUBLISHED IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR).
THE SURVEY HAS TWO PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES:
* TO UPDATE THE DEPARTMENT'S DATA ON OVERSEAS
INVESTMENT, IN TERMS OF CAPITAL DEPLOYED, EMPLOYMENT CREATED, NEW OR IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCED, PRODUCTS AND EXPORT PROSPECTS AND
*
TO ASSESS THE RELATIVE MERITS OF HONG KONG AS A LOCATION FOR OVERSEAS INVESTMENT IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR.
THE 1987 SURVEY WILL BE CARRIED OUT BETWEEN APRIL AND JULY. INFORMATION GATHERED IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE TO THE DEPARTMENT IN ITS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE FURTHER OVERSEAS INVESTMENT IN HONG KONG'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND TO ASSIST PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS TO EVALUATE INVESTMENT POSSIBILITIES AND ESTABLISH FACTORIES IN HONG KONG.
IT ALSO GIVES THE DEPARTMENT A CLEARER PICTURE OF OVERSEAS PARTICIPATION IN THE LOCAL MANUFACTURING SECTOR.
THE TARGET OF THE SURVEY ARE MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS IN HONG KONG WHICH INVOLVE OVERSEAS INTERESTS, AND ARE WHOLLY OR PARTLY OWNED BY :
*
*
*
COMPANIES OUTSIDE HONG KONG;
LOCAL COMPANIES WHOSE PARENT COMPANIES ARE OUTSIDE HONG KONG OR
PERSONS WHO ARE NOT PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF
HONG KONG.
ALL THESE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE REQUESTED TO ASSIST IN THE SURVEY AND TO RETURN COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES TO THE DEPARTMENT BY THE MIDDLE OF MAY. THEY ARE INVITED TO APPROACH MRS TRACEY SHUM ON 3-7222426 FOR A COPY OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE IF THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT BY THE END OF APRIL.
THE DEPARTMENT STRESSED THAT THE INFORMATION OBTAINED IN THE SURVEY WILL BE TREATED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND RESTRICTED FOR ITS OWN USES. REPORTS WILL BE PREPARED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IDENTIFICATION OF INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE AND ALL QUESTIONNAIRES WILL BE DESTROYED AS SOON AS THE REPORTS ARE FINALISED.
PUBLICATION OF THE RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
