July 2021 issue of "Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics" now available
***********************************************************************************
Apart from providing up-to-date statistics, this issue also contains two feature articles entitled "Foreign Affiliates Statistics of Hong Kong" and "Port Cargo Statistics, 2010 to 2020".
"Foreign Affiliates Statistics of Hong Kong"
With globalisation of the world economy, it is popular for multinational enterprises to provide services to customers in another economy through setting up affiliated companies abroad.
In view of the importance of services supplied via this mode, the C&SD has developed a statistical framework for compiling relevant statistics, known as "foreign affiliates statistics (FATS)". This feature article briefly describes the statistical system for compiling inward FATS, and presents selected inward FATS of Hong Kong for 2019. It is an update of similar articles on the same subject published in preceding years.

"Port Cargo Statistics, 2010 to 2020"
Although Hong Kong's port cargo throughput decreased from 267.8 million tonnes in 2010 to 249.3 million tonnes in 2020, the port of Hong Kong was still one of the busiest ports in the world. The port cargo movements between Hong Kong and the mainland of China (the Mainland) accounted for 50.9% of Hong Kong's port cargo throughput in 2020. About 79.3% of the port cargo movements between Hong Kong and the Mainland were in the Pearl River Delta region.

It collects up-to-date statistical series on various aspects of the social and economic situation of Hong Kong.
