Investment income includes direct investment income (DII), portfolio investment income (PII) and other investment income (OII). CE are essentially wages, salaries and other remuneration whether paid in cash or in kind.
Data for compiling external factor income flows are collected through the annual Survey of External Factor Income Flows.
The first round of the survey, which was launched in October last year, covered some 21,000 companies in various kinds of businesses in Hong Kong, including financial institutions, commercial companies and manufacturing firms.
Internationally accepted statistical standards are adopted in the survey with regard to definitions of income flows and delineation of residents and non-residents.
The above estimates are only preliminary figures based on survey results obtained so far. Minor revision is expected in due course and revised GNP figures will be available by March next year.
