what is the impact on the economy as a result of imposing the freezing order ?

Unlikely to have a significant effect.

What about trade sanctions ? Will Hong Kong Government be following UK's lead in imposing trade and economic sanctions on Iraq ?

Tf the UK applies sanctions, these are likely to be extended simultaneously to Hong Kong.

At what time on August 6, 1990 did the Order in Council come int force ?

At this stage, all that we can say is that it was before the opening of business in Hong Kong on 7 August. Further information will be given when available.
