Hong Kong Industrialist Aug Oct 2021

FHKI envisions this Research to help the industry, Government and other stakeholders to adopt a more holistic view of “industry” as a whole, to cover multiple dimensions of manufacturing activities local and abroad, production to producer services along the value chain, traditional and emerging manufacturing sectors, export and domestic sales markets. Such long-term planning of Hong Kong's industrial policy is critical for Hong Kong to develop high value-added manufacturing through “re-industrialisation” and strengthen local producer services, leading Hong Kong to become the master mind of manufacturing industry in Asia. 工總期望本研究報告助業界、政府及持份者，將港資製造企業在本地及外地生產活動、製造業及上下游生產性服務業、傳 統及新興製造業、出口及內銷市場等多個發展維度，視為一個「工業」整體，長遠規劃香港產業政策，不但助本港「再工業 化」發展高增值製造業，亦藉此強化本地生產性服務業，成為領導亞洲區域內的製造業核心。 Review Economic Data to Reflect Industrial Development 調整經濟數據統計方式以理解香港工業實貌 The manufacturing sector has undergone rigorous transformation where diverse producer service sectors have been developed and become mature, forming an extended and intertwined industrial system. FHKI recommends: • FHKI recommends that a broader understanding shall be adopted to fully understand the industry and its impacts, and enhance statistical methods to obtain more comprehensive economic figures for policy formulation. For instance, the Government shall consider reviewing the classification method of the service industry to disaggregate “producer services” from the others; updating industrial classifications more frequently according to latest economic development; and conducting census on the offshore production activities of Hong Kong-invested manufacturers.
