Notes: 1 In the financing sector, value added was not compiled for investment and bolding companies due to the special
features of their business operation. Hence, total value added for the sector did not include that of investment and holding companies.
(2) Financing sector excluded banks and deposit-taking companies.
(3) Value added was not compiled for the insurance sector.
{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 1988 Survey of Storage, Communication, Financing, Insurance and business Services Report.
