Give the reasons the rapid growth of Hong Kong's external trade. What are the difficulties encountered by Hang. Kong in her export of domestic products?. Give examples,

Hong Kong is a British colony and is situated at the mouth of the Pearl River, a gateway of .. China. Being also located at the midway of many sea routes, she handles trade between China and the West. Her deep, sheltered

harbour together with other facilities enable her to become a major port in the world. The laissez faire policy (with minimum government intervention) and the low tax here are 5 additional factors for the emergence of Hong Kong us an entrepot trade centre.

Since 1950, attempts in industrialization were proved to be successful. After the Second World War Hong Kong started to export her goods to those foreign countries, which. were in shortage of consumer goods. This directly helped tu increase the external demand for Hong Kong products,

Later, the enborgeo against Chine provided the opportunity for Hong Kong to become a source of Chinese crafts to the United States. On the other hand, the Common- wealth Preference also contributed to the growth of the domestic exports of Hong Kong. There are many import-export firme having established commercial relatians with other countries and foreign firms. Moreover, the presence of developed financial institutions (eg banks and insurance companies as well as excellent transport and communication, port and warehousing: fagilities etc. likewise have help

to increase

some

In recent years, products from Tong Kong have attained quality standards. There are made possible by the imported technology, the presence of experienced industrialists, technical training facilities and industrial promotion. The products of Hong Kong are fairly cheap because of the relatively cheap. labour and attempts to raise productivity. Furthermore, trade is promoted by the govern- 'ment and other agencies e... Trade Development Council and the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation. All of these contribute to the growth' of the domestic exports of Hong Kong.

The rapid growth of imports, on the other hand, was attributable to Hong Kong's reliance on imported foodstuffs, TAW materials and capital. goods and her rapid growth of population and industry. The situation of practically no festriction on imports in Hong Kong also contribut- ed to the growth of imports.

Difficulties encountered by Hong Kong, are:

1. Trade barriers, such

as tariffs, and quotas,

The rising renta,

wages and raw material cost in recent years result in the

increases in the coats of production for local products. The Commonwealth Preferenes is cancell ed and this has... weakened the competi tive power of Hong Kong's exports.

5. Economic fluctuations

adversely the demand. for the exports of. Hong Kong

6. The monetary fluctua-

tion in the world is another problem that adds to the difficul- ties affecting Hong Kong's exports,

7 The present existed-

training facilities

for industries in long Kong are not adequate. Since Hong Kong relies heavily upon other countries for the supply of raw materials and capital goods, the fluctua- tions in import price means that production costa are unstable.. Hence, to maintain a
