§ Indices for 1987 onwards are strictly not directly comparable to those for earlier years due to incorporation of the specification price indices for toys and knitted outer garments. c ln connection with the unification of Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and German Democratic Republic (GDR) as from October 1990, the volume indices for FRG prior to October 1990 have been

revised by combining the trade figures of the two previous .states in order to ensure comparability with the trade figures after unification. For simplicity and since Hong Kong had relatively little trade with the previous GDR, the unit value indices of the previous FRG alone are used for deflating the value index of the two states taken together to obtain the quantum index.

SPECIAL REVIEW

SALARY STATISTICS OF MIDDLE-LEVEL MANAGERIAL AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES

This article outlines the survey methodology and the summary findings of the annual Survey of Salaries and Employee Benefits -- Managerial and Professional Employees (Excluding Top Management) which has been conducted since 1984.


SPECIAL REVIEW

SALARY STATISTICS OF MIDDLE-LEVEL MANAGERIAL AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES

1. Background

1.1 The Census and Statistics Department conducts a half-yearly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits which covers manual and non-manual workers up to the supervisory level in selected major sectors of the economy.

1.2 In addition, employees at the administrative and professional levels are covered in a separate annual Survey of Salaries and Employee Benefits -- Managerial and Professional Employees (Excluding Top Management) which has been conducted since September 1984. The survey collects information relating to salary rates and fringe benefits of managerial and professional employees. The present article relates to this survey.

2. Objective of the Survey

2.1 The main objective of the annual survey is to compile indices for measuring changes in the salary rates of middle-level managerial and professional employees over time.

2.2 The absolute levels of salary rates are also compiled. Salary rates, however, do not make up the entire pay package, which may include other benefits such as profit-sharing bonus, leave and housing benefits, etc. To put the entire pay package in perspective, statistics are compiled on whether employees are entitled to these different types of benefits.

3. Coverage of the Survey

3.1 Industry coverage The survey covers five major economic sectors, namely the manufacturing/electricity, gas and steam sector, the building and construction and related trades sector, the wholesale, retail and import/export trades sector, the transport, storage and communication sector, and the financial institutions and insurance sector. Only the principal industries within each selected economic sector are included. A total of 22 industry groups are covered.

3.2 Occupational coverage Within each selected major economic sector, common occupations relating to managerial and professional employees within the scope of the survey and having clearly defined duty areas are covered. Occupational classifications and job specifications are defined in advance of the survey. They are based mainly on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO).

3.3 Employee coverage The survey covers both local and expatriate staff.

3.4 Business unit coverage A company is used as the survey unit in the survey. A company is defined as a business undertaking including establishments in the same economic sector and having the same firs.t 7 digits of the Business Registration Number, i.e. under a single ownership or control. Companies above a certain employment size are surveyed. The minimum size limit varies from industry to industry depending on the nature of business activity.

4. Survey method

4.1 Data collected In each round of the survey, information relating to the salary rates of employees for the selected occupations for the reference month of both the current year and the past year is collected. The salary rate is defined to include the following elements: ·

(i) basic salary (including paid holidays and leave); (ii) cost-of-living allowance; (iii) guaranteed year-end bonus; (iv) commission and tips; and (v) other regular and guaranteed bonuses and allowances.

Other items, such as profit-sharing bonus, which may contribute significantly to the total pay package of employees at this level are not included. Fringe benefits and payments in kind are not converted into monetary terms and therefore are also excluded from the definition of salary rate.

4.4

In a separate questionnaire, information is collected on employee entitlements to benefits, including:

(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix)

annual leave (in addition to public holidays); housing benefits; provident/retirement fund or pension scheme; insurance scheme (in addition to that required by the Employee's Compensation Legislation); medical benefits; transportation benefits; club membership; profit-sharing bonus; and other benefits.

Data collection m,ethod Data ate collected by the personal interview method.

Survey reference period The reference period is taken as the month of June of each year.

4.5 Sample size and sample design A total of some 200 companies are covered, with an average of about 40 per economic sector. Large companies are fully covered. A panel sample of the· medium-size companies randomly taken from each selected major economic sector is used. Supplementary samples are also drawn each year, to take into account new companies and companies which fall within the scope of the survey for the first time.

5. Statistics compiled and released

5.1 Nominal salary indices Based on the findings of the survey, two nominal salary indices are compiled, viz. Nominal Salary Index (A) and Nominal Salary Index (B). The nominal salary indices are designed to measure pure change in salary rates unaffected by changes in occupational and industrial structures. Base-weighted indices are used, the weights being the total salary bills paid to all employees in the individual occupations. June 1983 is taken as the base period of the indices and the weights are derived from the June 1983 data collected in the 1984 round of the survey_.

5.2 The Nominal Salary Index (A) is compiled by comparing the average of the salary levels of managerial and professional employees for June of the current year with that for June 1983. It reflects changes in salary level resulting from movements across companies and in and out of the occupations, as well as changes in salaries for those who remain in tlie same occupation and the same company in both years.

5.3 On the other hand, the Nominal Salary Index (B) measures changes in salary level only for those who remain in the same occupation and in the same company in both years. It therefore only accounts for changes due to a general increment, meritorious increase and gain in seniority and is useful to personnel managers in making salary adjustments.

5.4 A Laspeyres base-weighted aggregative index is used. The index formula for a particular occupation . is shown below :-

where

I 0 t = salary index for a given occupation for time period t with reference to the base-period o taken as 100;

R~ J

= total number of employees in the occupation in the r industry in the base-period o;

= average salary rate of employees in the occupation in the ith industry in the current time-period t;

= average salary rate of employees in the occupation in the ith industry in the base-period o.

For computational purpose, the same formula is expressed as :

W· J =

where

LWJ·R ~/ RC! = J J x 100

LW· J

total salary bill paid to all employees in the occupation in the r industry in the base

period o;

salary rate relative for the occupation in the rh industry.

W· Thus the index becomes a weighted average of salary rate relatives, where the weight is __ J_ for the /h industry,

LW· J

r- Wj = and L..J 1 . Ewj

5.5 Real salary indices A Real Salary Index (A) and a Real Salary Index (B) are also compiled by deflating their nominal counterparts by the Hang Seng Consumer Price Index for the reference month. They are designed to measure changes in the purchasing power of salaries.

5.6 Average salary rate To estimate the average monthly salary rate for a particular occupation in a particular sector, it is necessary to estimate the total salary bill (salary rate x number of employees) for that category of employees and the total number of employees in that category. The estimated average salary rate is given by the ratio of the estimated total salary bill to the estimated total number. of employees.

5.7 Medians and quartiles of salaries In compiling the medians and quartiles, salary rates of individual employees are used. Median salary is the salary rate such that half of the employees covered earn less than this figure and half of them earn more than it. Lower quartile salary is the salary rate such that 25% of the employees covered earn less than this figure and 75% of them earn more than it. Upper quartile salary is the salary rate such that 75% of the employees covered earn less than this figure and 25% of them earn more than it.

5.8 Fringe benefits Statistics on fringe benefits are compiled in the form of percentage of employees entitled to each type of benefit.

. 6. Salary movements by economic sector

EXPLANATORY NOTES

PART I REGULAR TABLES Section I POPULATION AND VITAL STATISTICS The mid-year and end-year population figures are estimated by adjusting Population Census/ByCensus results for total births, deaths and balance of.arrivals and departures whether legal or illegal, over a period.

J:hese estimates include local residents, permanent and temporary foreign residents, military personnel, visitors from foreign countries and Vietnamese migrants in Hong Kong at a point of time, i.e. 30 June or 31 December each year.

While the birth rate, death rate and rate of natural increase are c~lculated by relating the known births, the known deaths and their difference in a year to thei~ corresponding mid-year population, the infant mortality rate is obtained by relating the known infant deaths in a year to the known births in the same year. Births and deaths of Vietnamese migrants are excluded. All rates refer to a calendar year except the population growth rate which refers to a period from 1 July of a year to 30 June of the following year.

Statistics relating to births, deaths and marriages refer to such events as were registered with the Director of Immigration during the period covered, and do not necessarily equate exactly to the number of events which occurred during that period. The marriage figures include marriages performed at the official registries and at licensed places of public worship; they include also marriages other than first marr.iages.

Section 2 LABOUR Labour force statistics which cover the land civilian non-institutional population aged 15 and above are obtained from the General Household Survey. The annual figures are averages of the· estimates for the four quarters in a year. To measure quarter-to-quarter changes, estimates for the reference quarter should be compared with those for the quarter three months ago. The unemployed refer to those who were not having a job and were available for work during the 7 days before enumeration and who were seeking work during the 30 days before enumeration. Unemployment rates seasonally adjusted for month-to-month variations in the proportion of first-time job-seekers among the unemployed are given for making comparisons over time. The underemployed refer to those employed persons who involuntarily worked less than 35 hours during the 7 days before eni.Imeration and who were seeking more work, or were not seeking but available for more work.

Prior to April 1980, statistics of persons engaged and vacancies were compiled from separate employment surveys in various economic sectors. ,

Starting from April 1980, an integrated quarterly Survey of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll (SEyP) is introduced to replace the various employment surveys. The survey results, supplemented by those of the quarterly Employment Survey of Construction Sites (the site survey) and the Survey of Employment and Vacancies in the Civil Service, indicate the labour demand in the local economy. The SEVP covers the following industry sectors: Industry Sector Description

2 Mining and Quarrying 3 Manufacturing 4 Electricity and Gas 6 Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels 7 Transport, Storage and Communication. 8 Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services 9 Community, Social and Personal Services

Economic activities not yet covered by the survey are:

Industry Sector l 6 7 9

Economic Activities Not Covered

Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing (whole sector) Hawkers and retail pitches (other than market stalls) Taxis, public light buses, marine cargo handling services and tow boats Veterinary services, religious organizations, authors and other independent artists, domestic servants, and miscellaneous recreational and personal services

For the construction block, statistics covers all private sector sites registered in the Buildings Ordinance Office of Buildings and Lands Department, sites reported by the Eastern Harbour Crossing and Tate's Cairn Tunnel, all public sector sites under the charge of the Architectural Services Department, the Civil Engineering Department, the Drainage Services DepartmenJ, the Highways Department, the Territory Development Department, the Water Supplies Department and the Housing Department, and sites under the control of the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC), the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) and the Provisional Airport Authority (PAA). However, construction projects for village-type houses in the New Territories and minor· alterations, repairs, maintenance and interior decoration of existing buildings are not included.

The unit of enquiry in the SEVP is- an 'establislunent' which is defined as an economic unit which engages, under a single ownership or control, in one (or predominantly one) kind of economic activity at a single physical location.

The unit of enquiry in the Site survey is a construction site, which refers to a demarcated locality where one or more stages of constrµction work are being carried on. Sites under the control of Government departments or the MTRC, KCRC and the PAA are classified as public sector sites, whereas those registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, including superstructure on sites above the MTRC stations or KCRC stations, and sites reported by the Eastern Harbour Crossing and Tate's Cairn Tunnel are classified as private sector sites.

In the SEVP, 'Persons engaged' refer to working proprietors, active business partners, unpaid family workers and all employees of the establishment who are either at work for pay or profit, or are temporarily absent from work, i.e. on short-term leave such as sick leave, casual leave or paid vacation. Excluded are outworkers, and persons on indefinite leave and on pension. Part-time and casual employees and ·unpaid family workers who worked for less than 3. hours of the normal working time on the reference date are also not included.

On the other hand, the definition of persons engaged in the site survey is restricted to manual workers who work in the construction sites only. Manual workers include foremen, technicians, craftsmen, semi-skilled and unskilled workers who are either directly employed by the main contractors, or are being called upon by sub-contractors and gang leaders. For sites under the charge of G_overnment departments, manual workers are further refined to 34 selected major occupations at technician, craftsman and operative levels. ·

'Persons engaged' in the Civil Service Sector include all direct employees paid under the personal emolument vote on the referen,,ce date. Classification of Government departments and sections by purpose is based on the System of National Accounts Classification for Government expenditure with some modifications. ·

'Reported Vacancies' .refer to those unfilled, immediately available job openings for which the establishment or site is actively trying to recruit personnel. However, vacancies at construction sites include only those job openings for manual workers. The statistics give an indication of the size of the unsatisfied demand for workers. Together with the statistics on the number of persons engaged, these statistics provide a snapshot of the total number of job opportunities available in the labour market.

'Payroll' refers to wages and salaries, bonuses and gratuities, commissions and allowances and cash payments in other forms paid directly to all employees. Profits earned by proprietors and business partners. pensions, and payments to outworkers are, however, excluded.

'Payroll per person engaged' is derived by dividing the total monthly payroll by the total number of persons engaged. It should -not be interpreted as average income of employees. Firstly, the time period covered by employment figures is not the same as that covered by monthly payroll figures. Employment figures refer to a reference date, while monthly payroll is obtained by aggregating cash payments made over the whole month. Secondly, 'payroll' refers to payments to employees, whereas 'persons engaged' includes more than just employees. It also includes working proprietors, business partners and unpaid family members who normally are not on the payroll. Finally, as far as income is concerned, employees' income usually is not just limited to cash payments for work as reflected in, payroll figures. Furthermore, because of the fact that 'persons engaged' includes some who are not on the payroll and the ·magnitude of such persons varies between sectors, comparison of absolute values of payroll per person engaged between sectors is not meaningful. However, movements in the nominal and real indices 9f payroll per person engaged can be used as indicators of changes in average earnings of employees provided that the employment structure remains stable over time.

Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics Januar)l 1993

The 'nominal index of payroll per person engaged' is the ratio obtained by comparing the payroll per person engaged for a particular time point with that for March 1991, which is taken as 100. The 'real index of payroll per person engaged' is obtained by deflating its nominal index by the Consumer Price Index (A) to adjust for changes in purchasing power. These two indices reflect changes in payroll per person engaged in money terms and in real terms respectively.

In the SEVP, questionnaires are mailed to each sampled establishment to collect the required data. If the establishment does not respond timely, data will be collected by computer-assisted-telephone interview or field visits.

The quarterly Employment Survey of Construction Sites collects both employment and vacancy statistics for manual workers at construction sites on a quarterly basis. Data are collected by personal interviews with the responsible site agents of each private sector site. On the other hahd, employment data of public sector sites are extracted from administrative records completed by respective site agents of various departments under the charge of the Works Branch (including the Architectural Services Department, the Civil Engineering Department, the Drainage Services Department, the Highways Department, the Territory Development Department and the Water Supplies Department) and the Housing Department.

The sufVey of Employment and Vacancies in the civil service collects regular returns from individual Government departments via the Civil Service Branch.

Prior t0; the first quarter of 1991, breakdowns of employment and vacancy statistics by industry were published under !SIC (International Standard Industrial Classification). Starting from the first quarter of 1991, these statistics will be published at HSIC (Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification). The HSIC is a new standard industry classification system which was adopted by all surveys conducted by the Census & Statistics Department starting from 199\. It should be noted that in some occasions, detailed breakdowns of employment· and vacancy statistics under !SIC are not directly comparable to those under HSIC. To facilitate comparison with the previous year, statistics for the relevant quarters of 1990 are re-compiled using 'Uie HSIC and presented in this report.

As from the March 1991, the indices of 'Payroll per Person Engaged' have been rebased with March 1991=100. To facilitate comparison with previous year, indices for the relevant quarters in 1990 have been re-compiled.

Starting fr9m March 1991, distributors of LP Gas through a system of main previously classified under industry sector 6 (Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels) have been reclassified into industry sector 4 (Electricity, Gas and Water). Figures for March 1990 to December 1990 have been adjusted to conform to the new classification.

As from March 1991, some establishments previously classified under 'electrical repair shops' of industry sector 9 (Community, Social and Personal Services) have been reclassified irito 'electrical fitting with water plumbing' of industry sector 5 which is an economic activity not covered in this report. Figures for March 1990 to December 1990 have been adjusted to conform to the new classification.

Starting from September 1991, the Vocational Training Council previously classified under Civil Service has been reclassified into the Private Sector under "Educational Services" of Industry Sector 9.

As the Hospital Authority (HA) has taken over the management of 38 public hospitals and institutions since 1 December 1991, Civil Servants who have bridged over to ~A are treated as persons engaged in the Private Sector. Those who have not opted the HA terms are regarded as Civil Servants seconded to HA.

Concurrent with the SEVP, industry updating is undertaken to collect up~to-date information on business activities of each establishment. Industry updating for a particular economic block is scheduled in its full enumeration quarter on every alternate year. This activity was first launched in the September 1982 round ofSEVP; results were updated to the sampling frame and used to compile statistics at a time lag of one year. As from .the June 1991 round of SEVP, results of industry updating are updated to the sampling frame on a continuous manner and statistics are compiled based on the most updated information in the sampling.frame.

Figures of establishments, employment and vacancies refer to March, June, September and December of the year. Those for Civil Service referred to January, April, July and October of each year as from the s.econd quarter 1985.

The Census and Statistics Department had, since 1964, compiled and published wage indices to measure the changes in wage rates, both including and excluding fringe benefits, of manual workers in selected industries mainly in the manufacturing sector, based on the findings of a half-yearly Wage Survey.

In March 1982, a new q11arterly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits was introduced to replace the half-yearly Wage Survey. A number of improvements were made, including the collection of statistics on wage rates at more frequent intervals, the use of a larger sample (about 2 OOO establishments) to achieve a higher degree of. precision in the estimates for each industry covered, and an extension in coverage to include the non-manufacturing sectors and non-manual workers so as .to make the statistics more representative (employees at the administrative and professional levels are, however, still excluded). The details of the differences between the old and the new survey are given in the ''Quarterly Report of Wages, Salaries and Employees Benefits Statistics for March, June and September 1982, Volume!". After the September 1989 survey, the frequency of the survey has been changed to half-yearly.

Based.On the findings of the new survey,;a Nominal Wage Index and a Real Wage Index are compiled. These wage indices measure the "pure" changes in, wage rates by holding the structural pattern of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment the same as that of March 1982, which is the based period of the Wage Indices. While the Nominal Wage Index measures the changes in wage rates in money terms, the Real Wage Index, which is obtained by deflating the Nominal Wage Index by the Consumer Price Index (A), measures the changes in the purchasing power of the amount of money earned. Apart from basic wages and salaries, wage rate is defined to include also cost-of-living allowance, meal benefits, commission and tips, good attendance bonus, night shift allowance, year-end bonus and other guaranteed and regular bonuses and allowances. There is no distinction made between wage rates with and without fringe benefits in compiling the New Wage Indices. Since all the wage elements mentioned above are included in compiling the New Wage Indices, they are roughly equal to the definition of the wage rate including fringe benefits in the old survey.

In reading the wage statistics, users are reminded to note that the change in the w3.ge index for a particular industry between any two months may be different from the change derived by comparing the published wage rate figures for that industry of the corresponding months. As the wage index is designed to measure the "pure" change in wage rates by holding constant the structure of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment, the movement as indicated by the wage indices should always be used to measure changes in wage rates.

There are differences in the interpretation of wage and payroll indices. Essentially, the wage indices, which measure the changes in the price of labour, are concerned with the movements of wage rates which indicate the amount of remuneration for normal time of work. On the other hand, per-capita payroll indices reflect the changes in the amount of cash earnings workers receive during a particular period. The movements of the per-capita payroll indices are affected by changes in wage rates, as well as changes in such other factors as the amount of time actually worked, the composition of the labour force and the incidence of the payment of bonuses and back~pay. As a result, the movements of the wage indices-do not necessarily agree with those for per-capita payroll.

The average daily wages statistics in Table 2.10 are compiled based on the statistical returns obtained from contractors engaged in Government building and construction projects. The wage rate is defined to include basic wage, meal ·allowance, transportation allowance, I-days statutory holidays and 7-days public holidays for daily-rated workers whilst sick leave and year-end bonuses are also included for monthly-rated workers.

Statistics on reported occupational accidents, industrial accidents and industrial work stoppages are supplied by the Labour Department.

Statistics on industrial work stoppages refer to number of work stoppages and the corresponding number of working days (or man-days) classified by International Standard Industrial Classification major divisions. These figures cover stoppages of work arising from disputes connected with. terms and conditions of employment. Stoppages involving fewer than ten workers or lasting less than one day are excluded, unless the aggregate of wor~ing days lost exceeds 100. The number of workers involved is the number who actually cease work at the establishments where the disputes occur.

Reported occupational accidents refer to all accidents reported to the Labour Department which have resulted in the death of an employee or the total or partial incapacity of an employee for more than three days.

Industrial accidents refer to accidents occurred in industrial undertakings and arising out of industrial activities.

Section 3 EXTERNAL TRADE

External trade statistics comprise movements of cargo between Hong Kong and other trading partners, by land, air and water and to a limited extent by post, with the exception of the following classes of goods: I. Transhipment cargo under through bill oflading or through air waybill; 2. Transit cargo; 3. Articles imported or exported by the armed forces of the Crown; 4. Ships' stores, including bunker fuel; aircraft stores, including aviation fuel; 5. Personal baggage and possessions of travell~rs, not including motor vehicles; 6. Advertising materials supplied free ,of charge and samples of no commercial value or valued at

less than One thousand dollars; 7. Marine fish arriving direct from fishing grounds on fishing craft registered or licensed in Hong

Kong; 8. Gifts of a personal nature where no payment has been made by the receiver; 9. Articles temporarily imported and exported solely for exhibition and subsequent retupl; 10. Articles imported or exported under and in accordance with an A.T.A. carnet for the temporary

admission of goods; 11. Circulatory used freight containers and the like; 12. Banknotes after issue into circulation, being legal tender in any country.

The trade accounts relate to movements of merchandise only, and do not include those of bullion and specie.

Imports are c.i.f. values, exports and re-exports are f.o.b. values.

The. monthly figures are subject to adjustment of errors which may arise from various sources, such as mis-classification of-commodity or country of consignment, wrong reporting of values or quantities, and lodgement of more than one declaration for the same consignment. As from 1978, adjustments to these errors for consignments relating to earlier months are made tO the cumulative totals only. It follows that the sums of the monthly figures may differ from the cumulative totals.

The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and German Democratic Republic (GDR) came into unification on 3 October 1990. The unified new state is known as FRG. _As from October 1990, statistics on Hong Kong's trade with the FRG refer to those with the unified Germany. Where past data are presented, they are the total figures of the previous FRQ and GDR in order to .ensure comparability with the figures after unification. For separate statistics on Hong Kong's trade with the two independent states prior to October 1990, reference should be made to earlier publications.

As from October 1990, statistics on Hong Kong's trade with "Soviet Union and Eastern Europe" no longer include GDR. The statistics of the unified Germ.any are include in those of "Western Europe". Where past data are presented, the trade values for GDR have been deducted from those for "Soviet Union and Eastern Europe" and added to those for "Western Europe" in order to ensure comparability with the figures after German unification. For trade statistics of these regions prior to October 1990 without making any adjustment for German unification, reference should be made to earlier publications.

Similar approach is also adopted for presenting the quantum index for FRG. For simplicity and since Hong Kong had relatively little trade with the previous GDR, the unit value indexes of previous FRG alone are used for deflating the value index of the two states taken together to obtain the quantum index.

The trade index numbers are compiled from value and quantity data as published in the Hong Kong Trade- Statistics. The unit values for domestic exports and re-exports are on an f.o.b. (free-on-board) basis while those for imports are on a c.i.f. (cost, insurance and freight) b_asis.

The unit value for each commodity classification item is the quotient of the value over its corresponding quantity. As such, the unit value series (as opposed to market prices) are not free of the effect of change, especially improvements, in quality or of change in product mix and markets or sources included within a commodity classification.

Quantum index numbers are derived by dividing the value index numbers by corresponding unit value index numbers; and as a result are derived as a residual and subject to the limitations mentioned above. The unit value index numbers are base-weighted while the quantum index numbers are current-weighted. The monthly value and quantum indexes are derived by comparing trade figures in the current month with the average monthly data of the base year 1981.

As from March 1983, prices of selected imports (c.i.f.) and exports (f.o.b.) were collected and used to compile price indexes. These· price indexes which are based on product specifications, are intended to substitute the unit value indexes where problems exist of changes in quality, product mix, markets and sources, etc.

The terms of trade index, which was up to December 1982 the ratio of the unit value index for domestic exports to that for imports, has been re-defined as the ratio of the unit value index for total exports (i.e. domestic exports and re-exports) to that for imports.

For inclusion in the compilation of the trade index numbers, 737 items out of a total of 1 874 items for domestic· exports, I 518 out of 3 162 for imports and l 039 out of 2 638 for re-exports are selected. In terms of value, the selected items accounted for 69 per cent, 71 per cent and 71 per cent for domestic exports, imports and re-exports respectively in the base year 1981.

Statistics of trade with China of outward processing nature are obtained from the S~ey on Exports to China for Outward ProcesSing and the Survey on Imports from China related to Outward Processing. The surveys cover all merchandise trade except commOOities and transactions not classified according to kind. For the purpose of the surveys, exports to China for outward processing refer to the exportation of raw materials or semi-manufactures from or through Hong Kong to China for processing with a contractual arrangement for subsequent re-importation of the processed goods into Hong Kong. Imports from China relataj to outward processing refer to the importation of proc;essed goods from China of which all or part of their raw materials or semi-manufactures are under contractual arrangement exported from or through Hong Kong to China for processing.

Section 4 PRODUCTION

The Indices of Industrial Production, the purpose of which is to reflect the changes over time of net output at constant prices, are based on results of the Quarterly Survey of Industrial Production. This survey is conducted by the Census and Statistics Department and covers all manufacturing establishments engaging 200 or more persons as well as a sample of the smaller establishments. The production index for an industry is compiled by aggregating the production quantity relatives or deflated value relatives of the primary products or industrial services in respect of the industry, using the values of sales of goods, industrial work and industrial services as weights. Deflated value relatives are adopted for those products that are too heterogeneous for quantity measurement. The production indexes of different industries are then aggregated to form indexes of industry groups, broad industry groups and 'All manufacturing industries', using the value added of different industries as weights which are updated annually based on the results. of the latest. round of the Annual Survey of Industrial Production.

The fodices of Industrial Production in Table 4.1 cover the whole manufacturing industry, including the spinning and weaving industri'es. Statistics for the latter two industries, obtained by enumerating all spinning and weaving establishments engaging 20 or more persons and a random sample of the smaller establishments, are also shown separately in greater detail in the series of Index ofTextil_e Production and Textile Production Statistics in Tables 4.2 and 4.3.

Items 4 to 6 in Table 4.3 exclude contributions from establishments_ engaged mainly in providing supporting services (e.g. yam winding~ yam doubling, texturizing and miscellaneous weaving activities) to the spinning and weaving industries. However, figures for items l to 3 cover these establishments as well.

Statistics of cement production are supplied by the cement manufacturing companies, while statistics of quarry production are supplied by the . Geotechnical Control Office of the Civil Engineering Services D~partment.

Section 5 LAND, HOUSING, BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION

Permanent living q'uarters Statistics are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department. Before 1985 these statistics were compiled from a manual register of quarters. Since 1985 they are obtained

II

fi'om the computerized frame of quarters. A permanent living quarter is an enclosed space in a building built of permanent materials. And for such a space to be cowited as a living quarter it must (i) be internally connected so that the- occupants can move between rooms/c-Ubicles or from one corner to another without going outside onto a public corridor, a landing or staircase; (ii) have direct access to a street, a corridor or landing without going through someone else' unit; and (iii) be built or used for the purpose ofliving.

Public housing comprises Housing Authority estate block~ and Housing Society buildings. Home Ownership Scheme also includes living quarters built under the Private Sector Participation Scheme and Middle Income Housing. Statistics on Housing Authority blocks and Home Ownership buildings are supplied by the Housing Department; statistics on Housing Society buildings are obtained from the Hong Kong Housing Society and details contained in the monthly returns of the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Buildings and Lands Department. This department also supplies data for the small village-type houses. With regard to all other private building projects as well as Private Sector Participation Scheme and Middle Income Housing, data are compiled from the above mentioned monthly returns.

A bUilding is said to be 'completed' upon the jssuance of an Occupation 'Permit by the Buildings Ordinance Office of the- Buildings and Lands Department in the case of a Housing Society building or a private building (except small village-type houses); and in the case of a small village-type house, a compliance certificate issued by that department; a Housing Authority block is 'completed' when it hii.s been certified as substantially completed by the Chief Architects of the Housing Department.

'Consents' to commence work are issued by the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Buildings and Lands Department for Housing S6ciety. buildings and private buildings exCept smaU village-type houses where 'consents'_ are not necessary. In the case of Housing Authority blocks, 'consents' are not required and the date of award of contracts by the Housing Authority is taken as the consent date.

The 'usable floor afea' of a flat is defined as the total floor area within the flat excluding any staircases, lavatories, water closets, kitchens an4 other common areas of the building.

The 'lettable floor area' and ~saleable floor area' of a flat refer to the total floor area inside the fiat measured to the outside of the external walls and to the centre lines of the party walls, including the balcony, kitchen and water closet inside the fiat. All common areas of the building are excluded.

The 'gross floor area' of a building is defined as 'the aggregate of the areas of the .fioor(s) in a building'.

Building statistics in Tables 5. 7 and 5.8 include only building activities in the private sector and those for Private Sector Participation Scheme and Middle Income Housing .but exclude small village-type houses. 'Commercial buildings' refer to office buildings and mutli-purpose commercial premises. 'Industrial buildings' refer to flatted factories, specialised factory buildings and storage premises. 'Other buildings' refer to hotels and boarding houses, and premises for education, medical and health, social welfare, religion, culture, recreation, etc.

Statistics on price indices in Table 5.9 are based .on an analysis of all transactions scrutinized by the Rating and Valuation Department for stamp duty purposes with an agreement date within the quarter. The rental indices in Table 5.10 are based on rental information recorded in_the_·Rating and Valuation Department for new and fresh lettings effective in the quarter. For non-domestic premises, rentals_negotiated on renewal are also included. Although all rentals are analysed on a net basis, i.e. exclusive of rates, management and other charges, no attempt is made to adjust for other contractual terms.

Information on instruments registered is supplied by the Registrar General. The figures in Table 5.13 up to December 1990 cover only Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Kowloon. As from January 1991, figures for New Territories are included. The terms used in Table 5.13 are explained as follows: ·

'Assignment': a deed transferring property from one part to another.

'Lot': a piece. of Government land originally granted by the Government by auction, tender or private treaty grant.

·section' and 'Sub-section': a lot can be carved into a number of smaller parts called sections. The sections may be of varying size and the area of each is clearly defined and labelled accordingly. A section can similarly be furthe~ earved into a number of smaller parts called sub-sections.

'Undivided share': a lot, section or sub-section can be shared jointly by two or more persons, the entitlement of each is called a share of lot or section or sub-section. Unlike a 'section' or 'sub-section~, a share is just a percentage value with no explicit boundary defined as in a 'section' or 'sub-section'. Assignments or discrete flats are included here if the relevant building is located in an undivided lot and/or a particular section or sub-section of a lot.

'Building mortgages/building legal charges' (previously known as Building mortgages): mortgages secured for the purpose of financing building construction.

'Mortgages/legal charges other than building mortgages/building legal charges' (previously known as Mortgages other than building mortgages): highly varied and the mortgagee is not obliged to state the purpose of the mortgage. _Many of these relate to mortgage arrangements for the purchase of residential fiats and other building premises.

'Reassignments/receiptS/discharges/releases and certificates of satisfaction' (previously known as Reassignments and certi_Q.cates- of satisfaction): when a loan is fully repaid and the mortgage redeemed, a 'reassignrn,ent/receipt/discharge/release' or •certificate of satisfaction' will be prepared and registered at the Land Office.

'Agreements for sale and purchase': an agree_ment for future sale or purchase of property. The property may be a building under construction or a completed ~uilding. 'Tenancy agreements': agreement between a lessor and lessee concerning property letting. 'Exclusion orders issued under the Landlord and Tenant Ordinaiice': landlords of pre-. war buildings who wanted to re-develop the property have to apply for an Exclusion Order with respect to Part One of the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance which mainly protects the interests of the existing tenants. 'Miscellaneous': all other types of transaction.

Statistics on the gross value of construction work (GVCW) performed by contractors are based on results obtained from _the· Quarterly Survey of Construction Output conducted by the Census and Statistics Department since 1983, for the purpose of providing prompt indications on the current output levels and trends in the construction sector. The register of construction establishments, which is maintained by the Census and Statistics Department based on information from the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department, provided the frame for selecting the sample of the Survey. All main contractors at construction sites, irrespective of their employment sizes, and other construction establishments engaging 100 persons or more are folly enumerated in the Survey. As regards the other establishments in the frame, a random sample stratified by trade and effiployment size is selected for enwneration. New construction works and renovation and maintenance include the erection of new buildings and structures and installation of service facilities such as utility fittings and ventilation systems; major alteration and conversion works on existing structures; demolition, site formation, piling and other sub-structure work preceding the actual erection of structures; and the restoration of existing buildings and structures to normal condition. Special trades refer to those contractors that specialize in delineated job areas such as concreting, scaffolding, carpentry, plumbing and gas work. A main contractor is one who enters into a contract directly with a property developer or the client party of a project, as distinct from a sub-contractor who obtains the job from another contractor. Due to the widespread sub-contracting practice in the construction sector, a construction establishment can be a main contractor for one contract but a sub-contractor for another contract simultaneously. The-GVCW performed by main contractors refers to the output of those construction establishments in the projects in which they take the role of a main contractor, and does not include the construction output of projects where they play the role of sub-contractors. However, sub-contractors' contribution to projects should have. been included in the GVCW performed by the main contractors for whom they worked. He_nce statistics on the GVCW performed by main contract.ors are preferred to those on the total GVCW performed by all contractors in assessing the level of construction activity, as the former are free from the effect of double-_counting the construction output of sub-contractors. All figures .on ·the GVCW performed are measured at current prices. The Index ofGVCW performed by main contractors is also computed on the basis of current price level with no adjustment for price changes.

Statistics on disposals of Government land are supplied by the Buildings and Lands Department.

• Letter 'A' and 'B' tender system in the New Territories: when -it is necessary for Government to acquire land for public purposes the Government exercises its power under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance. Where land is required within an ar~a embraced by an approved layout plan, the policy is to give the lessee of private land the opportunity of surrendering his land voluntarily in exchange for the right to be granted Government land at some future date. This right is contained in a Letter called Letter 'A' or Letter 'B'.

.The realised premium of land acquired by a land exchange entitlement is calculated by deducting the Government's value of the resumed land from the value of the land to be granted prevailing at the time when the exchange entitlement letter was issued. The realised premium of land acquired through auction or public tender is the auctioned/tendered price of the land.

Land for special low cost housing projects, Home Ownership Schemes, for public utilities, schools, churches, temples, clinics welfare and certain charitable purposes is usually granted by private treaty, and in such cases, the premium charged varies from nothing for non-profit-making purposes up to the full market value for public utilities.

Section 6 TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND TOURISM

Statistics on aircraft movements are taken from the reports of the Civil Aviation Department.

Statistics on river vessels and containers are supplied by the Marine Department while those on ocean-going vessels are derived from the Hong Kong Shipping Statistics System set up by the Census and Statistics Department. Ocean-going vessels are classified according to nationality. 'Vessels entered' refers to vessels arriving at Hong Kong whereas 'vessels cleared' refers to vessels leaving Hong Kong.

Statistics on cargoes carried by ocean-going vessels are baced on the Shipping Statistics System set up by the Census and Statistics Department and are estimated from a sample of consignments on ocean cargo manifests. Statistics on cargoes carried by river vessels are supplied by the Marine Department, on airborne cargoes are supplied by the Civil Aviation Department, on cargoes carried by railway by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation and on cargoes transported by road by the Customs and Excise Department. Starting with the February 1986 issue, statistics on international movements of co:r;nmercial cargo by railway in Table 6.4 refer to the actual tonnage of cargo conveyed whereas those published in previous issues represent the loading capacity of wagons used for conveyance.

The total cargo discharged include inward direct shipment (or imports) and inward transhipment, and total cargo loaded include outward direct shipment (or exports, including domestic exports and re-exports) and outward transhipment.

Statistics of passenger journeys on public transport, of motor vehicles registered and of vehicular traffic through toll-charged tunnels and vehicular ferry services are compiled by the Transport Department. The passenger journey figures include estimated passengers in vehicles carried by the Hong Kong & Yaumati Ferry Co. 's vehicular ferry services. A minor ferry service is any ferry service (other than Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry and Star Ferry) operated under a licence granted under the Ferries Ordinance, Cap. 104. Statistics on passenger journeys by 'Cross Harbour Tunnel' include passengers carried by Mass Transit Railway and Harbour tunnel buses.

Statistics on motor vehicles licensed shown in Table 6.7 do not include the 162 tram cars of the Hongkong Tramways Ltd. and the 3 tramcars of the Peak Tram Co. Ltd.

Statistics on traffic ·accidents and casualties are supplied by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force .. The traffic accident figures exclude accidents involving damages only.

Statistics on telephone services are supplfed by the Hong Kong Telephone Company Ltd. and those on te~ecommunication and postal services.by the Post Office.

Statistics on passenger arrivals and departures as well as Hong Kong resident departures are supplied by the Immigration Department. They refer exclusively to international movements of passengers or Hong Kong residents. Particulars on incoming visitors and hotels are supplied by the Hong Kong Tourist Association. From January 1986 onwards figures in Table 6.15 on visitor arrivals by country of residence differ from the 'Visitor Arrival Statistics' published by the Hong Kong Tourist Association since the former include visitors from the People's Republic of China but the latter do not.

Statistics of hotels and number of rooms are obtained -from surveys conducted in June and December each year among Hong Kong. Tourist Association members. These statistics are revised from time to time as information on current situation of hotel indtistry· becomes available: Room 01cupancy rate is based on surveys conducted monthly among HKTA members.

Section 7 MONEY, BANKING AND FINANCE

Statistics on the money supply and on licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies, in Tables 7.1to7.14 and 7.17 to 7.19, are based on data collected by the Commissioner of Banking on behalf of the Secretary for Monetary Affairs.

The definitions of money supply (Table 7.1 and 7.3) are:

Money supply definition 1 (Total): Notes and coins with the public, plus customers' demand deposits with licensed banks.

Money supply definition 2 (Total): Ml plus customers' savings and time deposits with licensed banks, plus negotiable certificates of deposit issued by licensed banks and held outside the moneta'ry sector.

Money supply definition 3 (Total): M2 plus customers' deposits with restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies plus negotiable certificates of deposit issued by restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies held outside the monetary sector.

HK$Ml, HK$M2 and HK$M3 are the Hong Kong dollar components of these definitions.

All authorized institutions are defined here to include licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies.

'Restricted licence banks' and 'deposit t~king companies' were known as 'licensed deposit-taking companies' and 'registered deposit-taking companies' respectively before 1 February 1990.

The banking statistics (Table 7.3) exclude certificates of indebtedness issued by the Exchange Fund, and the equivalent note issue.

Licensed ·bank's quoted best lending rate, which refers to The Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and Standard Chartered Bank's quoted best lending rate for general guidance of other licensed banks, as well as interest rates paid to depositors are supplied by the Secretary for Monetary Affairs. Interest rates for deposits over 12 months are determined by agreement between individual depositors and the licensed banks.

The closing Hong Kong Dollar Inter,bank Offered Rates (HIBOR) on or before December 1985 in Table 7.16 are quoted from The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and those from January 1986 onwards are quoted from Standard Chartered Bank. Figures of bank cheques cleared are supplied by the Clearing House of The Hong Kong Association of Banks.

Liabilities to and claims on banks outside Hong Kong are analysed by the country of the branch making or accepting the deposit, and not by the country of that branch's head office - e.g. a claim on the London br;inch of a US bank is shown against the United Kingdom, and not against the United States. -

Claims on non-bank customers incorporated outside Hong Kong are analysed by the country of incorporation, while claims on unirn;::orporated customers are analysed by their recorded address. Columns 1 to 4 of Table 7.17-7.18 include liabilities to and claims on the head office (if any) overseas, and on any other br3:nches overseas of the reporting institution in Hong Kong.

The figures for liabilities to banks outside Hong Kong, for claims on banks outside Hong Kong, and for claims on non-bank customers outside Hong Kong in Tables 7.17 to 7.18 do not exaetly correspond with the appropriate items in Tables 7.4 to 7.6 respectively. This results from differences in classification of some accounts. ·

Statistics of exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) and c'Urrencies of selected countries are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department from quotations supplied mainly by the Hang Seng Bank Limited. Figures in Tables 7.19 to 7.21 refer to average closing middle-market telegraphic transfer rates. The currencies are selected for those countries which are major trading partners of Hong Kong. The exchange rates of the SDR are derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar (USD) value of the SDR as published by the !MF by the appropriate exchange rates ofHKD against USD as published in the tables. The effective exchange rate indices (EERI) measure movements in


the weighted average of nominal exchange rates of HKD against the currencies of 15 principal trading partners. The principal trading partners are selected on the basis of their merchandise trade with Hong Kong and their relative· importance in world trade. A new series of EERI has been released since 28 September 1987.

The Hong Kong Index on share prices and value of stock exchange turnover are supplied by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. The Hang Seng Index and Sectoral Sub-indices are compiled by the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. Sectoral sub-indices of the Hang Seng Index have been introduced since 13 January 1984, and closing share prices on that day are used as the basis for calculation. The base value of the sub-indices is 975.47 i.e. the closing Hang Seng Index for that day.

Statistics on futures trading and gold and silver exchange trading are supplied by the Hong Kong Futures Exchange Ltd. and The Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society respectively.

Section 8 PRICES AND RETAILING

The average retail prices of the principal foodstuffs are obtaine\!l by price investigators from market stalls and shops throughout Hong Kong during the periods specified.

The average wholesale prices of rice are supplied by the Trade Department, while those of live pigs, live cattle, fresh marine fish and fresh vegetables are supplied by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department.

The expenditure weights of the Consumer Price Indices (CPls) shown in Tables 8.3-8.6 were derived from the results of the Household Expenditure Survey conducted in 1989-90. The expenditure brackets of the three CP!s, i.e. CPI(A), CPI(B) and Hang Seng CPI and the corresponding percentage of households covered by the indices are given as follows:

The remaining 10 percent of households - at top and bottom of the household expenditure scale -are excluded.

Readers interested in infornlation on household expenditure may refer to the report "1989/90 Household Expenditure Survey and the Re basing of the Consumer Price Indices".

A special review article introducing the seasonally adjusted consumer price indices was published in the May 1983 issue of this Digest. Information on the objectives, method and interpretation of the figures can be found in the article.

Statistics on ·retail sales are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department based on data collected from a monthly survey of retail sales. The survey covers some I 200 e_stablishments drawn from all the retail establishments registered with the Business Registration Office (BRO) of the Inland Revenue Department (!RD), and market stalls registered with the Urban Services Department (USD) and the Housing Department (HD), Excluded from the survey are hawkers, street vendors and retail pitches.

Statistics on restaurant receipts are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department based on data collected from a quarterly survey of restaurant receipts and purchases. The survey covers some 750 establishments drawn from all the catering establishments registered with the BRO of the IRD, the USD and the HD. Excluded from the survey are cooked food stalls operated outside the main structure of buildings, canteens attached to organizations open to members only, and catering outlets operated by and situated within hotels.

The value indices measure the changes in value terms, while the volume indices obtained by deflating the value indices by specially constructed price indices measure the changes in real terms.

Section 9 SOCIAL STATISTICS

Statistics of reported crime are supplied by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If a-person is arrested/prosecuted on two or more occasions he is recorded once on each occasion; and when a person is arrested/prosecuted on the same occasion for two or more offences, one offence is selected for tabulation.

Statistics on in-patient service and out-patient attendances in government and Hospital Authority institutions are supplied by the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority.

Statistics on notified infectious diseases is supplied by the Department of Health.

Statistics on public assistance schemes and special needs allowance schemes are supplied by the Social Welfare Department.

Section 10 ENERGY

Statistics on electricity and gas are supplied by the public utilities companies and those on petroleum products are obtained from the monthly returns submitted by the leading petroleum companies.

III

Section l1 MISCELLANEOUS Government revenue and expenditure statistics are supplied by the Treasury. The analysis of revenue and expenditure by the broad groups as given in Table l l.l is made by the Census and Statistics Department. 'Direct taxes' include earnings and profit ta;x. and estate duty; 'Indirect taxes' include duties, general rates, motor vehicle taxes, taxi concessions, royalties and concessions, taxes on bets and sweeps, entertainment and hotel accommodation, stamp duties and airport departure tax (introduced in 1983/84 only). 'Transfers to other funds' includ-e transfers to Development Loan Fund, Home Ownership Fund, Mass Transit Fund and Stud~ ..:t Loan Fund; 'Actual expenditure during the period' refers to expenditure other than transfers to funds.

Information on companies registered and dissolved is supplied by the Registrar General. The fire services statistics. are supplied by the Fire Services Department and refer to operational

and preventive work. Statistics on water supplies are supplied by the Water Supplies Department <J.nd refer to fresh

water supply only (while salt water for flushing purposes is excluded). The maximfun capacity of the existing 18 storage reservoirs is 577.896 million cubic metres; before storage at the High Island Reservoir (since August 1977) began the maximum capacity was 305.396 million cubic metres. Figures for water imported from China are slightly diffetent from those published in Hong Kong Trade Statistics. They refer to the quantity of water received from 09:00 hours on the first day of the month up to 09:00 hours on the first day of the following month whereas those published in the Hong Kong Trade Statistics represent the quantity of water paid for from the morning on the last day of the previous month to the morning on the last day of the month. ·

Statistics of meteorological observations are taken from the records of the Royal Observatory, King's Park and Waglan Island stations. The monthly normals for the various meteorological elements (except for the total evaporation, prevailing wind direction and mean wind speed) refer to the 30-year period 1951-1980. Due to the lack of data within the same period, normals for ~he prevailing wind . direction and mean wind speed are the averages during the 30-year period 1953-1982. The normal for the total evaporation is obtained from the average for the period 1958-1984 and will be updated every year because the covering period is less than 30 years.

PART II PERIODIC TABLES Section 12 POPULATION AND MORTALITY STATISTICS See explanatory notes in Section 1 for mid-year population estimates in Table 12.1.

Statistics of deaths by cause are supplied by the Department of Health whereas those of life expectancy are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department.

Section 13 EDUCATION Statistics of schools and enrolment are supplied by the Education Department except those for the Universities and Polytechnics, and Technical Institutes which are supplied by the University and Polytechnic Grants Committee and Vocational Training Council respectively. The ·figures for institutes and enrolment by type of education refer to both day and evening classes. Enrolment for the Universities include undergraduates and postgraduates but exclude participants of extra-mural courses.

Section 14 WAGES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS A new annual Survey of Salaries and Employee Benefits (Managerial & Professional.EmployeesExcluding Top Management) was conducted fordhe first time in September 1984. It collects information on salaries and fringe benefits of managerial and professional staff who are not covered by the Quarterly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits. The ·survey covers about 200 large and medium-sized companies in five economic sectors, namely the manufacturing/electricity; gas and steam sector; the building and constructit;m and related trades sector; the wholesale/retail and import/export trades sector; the transport, storage and communication sector; and the financial institutions and insurance sector. Details of the survey methodology are given in "Report of Salary and Employee Benefits Statistics, (Managerial and Professional Employees-Excluding Top Management)" published by the Census and Statistics Department.

Based on the findings of the new survey, a Nominal Salary Index (A) and Nominal Salary Index (B) are compiled. These salary indexes are designed to measure changes in salary rates using the occupational and industrial structures of June 1983, which is also taken as the base period of the indexes. Apart from basic salaries, the salary rate is defined to include also cost-of-living allowance, guaranteed year-end bonus, commission and tips and other guaranteed and regular bonuses and allowances. Other items which may contribute significantly to the total pay package of employees at this level such as profit~sharing bonlls and housing allowance are not included in the definition of salary rate. However, statistics on these fringe benefits items are separately compiled and are expressed in terms of percentages of employees included in the survey entitled to such benefits in Table 14.2.

The Salary Index (A) is compiled by comparing the average of the salary levels of managerial and Professional employees in June of the reference year with that in June 1983. It is a comprehensive measure of change in salary levels and it takes into account changes in salary level resulting from movements across companies and in and out of occupations as well as changes in salaries for those who remain in the same occupation and the same company in both years. While the Nominal Salary Index (A) measures the changes in salary rates in money terms, the Real Salary Index (A), which is obtained by deflating the Nominal Salary Index (A) by the Hang Seng Consumer Price Index, measures the changes in salary rates in real terms.

On the other hand, the Salary Index (B) measures the changes in salary levels only for those who remain in the same occupation and in the same company in two consecutive years. It therefore accowits only for changes due to a general increment, meritorious increases and gains in seniority, and should be useful to personnel managers in making salary adjustments. A Real Salary Index (B) is also compiled using the method adopted in deriving the Real Salary Index (A).

Large and medium-sized companies are defined as below:

Selected major economic sectors

.Manufacturing/electricity, gas & steam Building & construction and related trades Wholesale/retail and import/export trades Transport, storage and communication Financial institutions and insurance (excluding holding

and investment companies) Holding and investment companies

Gross domestic prOduct (GDP) is an aggregate measure of the total value of net output produced within the domestic boundary- of a country or a territory in a specified period, say a calendar year, before provision for the consumption of fixed capital.

For Hong ~ong, the Census and Statistics Department compiles expenditure-based estimates and the production-based .estimates of the GDP.

Expenditure-based estimates for Hong Kong are compiled at both ~urrent market prices and at constant (1980) market prices. -Current price estimates are valued at current period transaction prices. Constant price estimates are obtained by deflating the cuirent price estimates of different categorie~· of goods and' services by. the appropriate price indexes or by revaluing current period quantities at base year prices.

Production-based estimates for Hong Kong are compiled at' current prices only.

I. Expenditure-based estimates The expenditure-based GDP estimate is the sum ofprivate'cOnsumption expenditure, government

consumption expenditure, gross domestic fixed capitar formation, change in stocks, and exports of goods and services, less imports of goods 3.nd services.

IV

( 1) Private consumption expenditure:

This covers all expenditure by the household sector, including private non-profit bodies, on goods and services for current use. It is the sum of the estimates of conswnption expenditure on goods and services in the domestic market and the expenditure of Hong Kong residents abroad less the expenditure of non-residents in the domestic market.

Data sources for compiling the estimates include trade statistics, administrative statistics from government departments and various organizations, data collected from economic surveys, household surveys and other expenditure surveys cbnducted by , the Census and Statistics Department

(2) Government consumption expenditure:

Government consumption expenditure refers to the current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading government departments and quasi-government non-profi_t bodies. Trading departments are distinguished from non-trading departments in that the former are engaged mainly in the production of goods and services for sale to the public.

Current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading departments and quasi-government bodies is the sum of compensation of employees arid purchases of goods and services less receipts from sales of goods and services. The estimates in respect of non-trading departments are compiled based on an analysis of government accounts and Other supplementary information supplied by government departments. Those for the quasi-government bodies are obtained from special enquiries on the income and expenditure of these bodies. Disbursements which are transfer payments are not included.

( 3) Gross domestic fixed capital formation:

Gross domestic fixed capital .formation covers the gross value (i.e. without deducting allowances for consumption ·of fixed capital) of 'inV-estment on buildings and construction as well as plant, machinery and equipment; 'real estate developers' margin; and transfer costs of land and buildings.

Estimates of investment on buildings and construction, real estate developers' margin, and transfer costs of land and buildings are compiled using data collected from quarterly and annual surveys of construction, the Housing Authority, various other government departments, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation.

Estimates of investment on plant, machinery and equipment are compiled on the basis of the commodity-flow method using data obtained from external trade statistics, government accounts, quarterly and annual surveys on local production, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Kowloon-Cant~n Railway Corporation.

( 4) Change in stocks:

The estimates refer to the value of physical change in the stocks of work-in-progress and stocks of goods held by manufacturers and distributors. The information is based on the opening at:!d closing book values of stocks reported by the establishments in surveys. Change in stocks reflects changes in the physical quantities of stocks. Adjustments have been made for stock appreciation (i.e. the increase/decrease in value of stocks attributed to price changes) by revaluing the opening and closing stocks at the average current prices of the period.

( 5) Exports of goods:

Exports of goods include domestic exports and re-exports of merchandise recorded on an f.o.b. basis, exclusive of monetary gold.

(6) Exports of services:

These are transactions in services provided by Hong Kong residents to the rest of the world. Data are obtained from the Hong Kong Tourist Association, various sources of administrative statistics, .and the Annual Survey of Imports and ExpOrts of Services.

(7) Imports of goods and imports of services:

In the expenditure approach, the items private consumption expenditure, governme;nt consumption expenditure, gross domestic fixed capital formation, change in stocks and exports of goods and of services are adde'd together and the ·values of imports of goods and of services are subtracted from the total. Such deduction has to be made so that the import contents associated with those items are eliminated to leave only the domestic contents. This is done at the.aggregate level as it is impracticable. to eliminate such import contents individually from each commodity or service.

Imports of goods are -valued at c.i.f.,. covering all merchandise imports and a proportion of retained imports of gold which is taken for _industrial use. Imports of services are estimated based on data obtained from various sources of administrative statistics, the Annual Survey of Imports and Exports of Services and the General Household Survey.

II. Production-based estimates

The production-based GDP- estimate is the sum of the net output or 'value added' of productive units, e.g. factories, shops, service organizations. Value added is derived as gross output less intermediate consumption, i.e. the value of production less the value of non-durable goods and services used in production. From an alternative angle, value added can be equated with the sum of factor incomes, i.e. compensation of e~ployees (wages, salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, etc.) and gross operating surj:>lus (the value attributed to non-labour factors of production inclusive Of the provision for consumption of fixed capital). Data sources for compiling the estimates are economic surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, government accounts and other administrative records.

Economic activities covered by the production-based estimates are classified broadly into the following: agriculture and fishing; mining and quarrying; manufacturing; electricity, gas and water; construction; wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hotels; transpott, storage and communication; financing, insurance, real estate and business services; community, social and personal services, and ownership of premises.

Ownership of premises is treated as an economic activity in the national accounts. This activity covers (i) rental services which households/persons as owners of premises provide to tenants, the value of which corresponds to rents received, and (ii) rental services which households/persons, government and private non-profit bodies as owners of premises provide to themselves, the value of which is imputed. However, rental services which commercial establishments as owners of premises provide to themselves are not included, since any imputed rent will simultaneously be an expense (intermediate consumption) and a receipt (gross output) for them, thus rendering the value-added unaffected. On the other hand, rental services which conunercial establishments provide to tenants have been included in the gross output of the respective activities in which they are engaged.

.Imputed bank service charge is an adjustment item relating to the financial services provided by the financial intermediaries to economic units in various economic activities, as the value of such financial services have not been fully includ~ in the intermediate consumption estimates of those units. In accordance with the United Nations System of National Accounts, imputed bank service charge is calculated as the net interest receipt (i.e. interest received minus interest paid) of the financial intermediaries.

Further details on the compilation of GDP estimates are contained in the publication 'Estimates of Gross Domestic Product, 1966 to 1990'. Descriptions specific to quarterly GDP estimates are contained in the publication 'Gross Domestic Product: Quarterly Estimates and Revised Annual Estimates' published in August 1991. Since November 1991 the latest quarterly estimates are available in the publication 'Quarterly Estimates of Gross :pomestic Product' published quarterly in February, May, August and November respectively.

Section 16 SUMMARY STATISTICS FROM ANNUAL ECONOMIC SURVEYS From 1990 survey round, the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors

had adopted the Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification (HS!C) fur publishing the survey results relating to analys~s by industry. Before 1990 round, the statistics were published under the International Standard Industrial Classification (!SIC). The HSIC is a new standard classification system devised with the ISIC as a frame work and with incorporation of the structure of the local economy. The new system will be used for all the economic surveys conducted by the Census.:& Statistics Department, thus comparabiFty between surveys of the Department can be maintained. For details of the HSIC, a special review article published in the September 1991 issue ofth~s series can be referred.
