Notes: (1) In the financing (except banking) industry, value added was not compiled for investment and holding companies owing to the special features of thei
business operations. Hence, total value added calculated for the industry did not include that of investment and holding companies.
(2) In the insurance industry, both value added and gross surplus were not compiled.
(3) Figures denoting changes are derived from unrounded figures.
(4) Value added is a measure of the contribution of an economic sector/industry to Hong Kong's Gross Domestic Product. The definition can be found
in the "Report on 1994 Survey of Storage, Communication, Financing, Insurance and Business Services*.
