July 2022 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 "Trade between Hong Kong and the Mainland of China".
"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, 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 2020. It is an update of similar articles on the same subject published in preceding years.

"Trade between Hong Kong and the Mainland of China"
Hong Kong has maintained a close trading relationship with the mainland of China (the Mainland) for many years. In the past decade, the Mainland was Hong Kong's largest destination of total exports and supplier of imports, on average accounting for 55.6% and 46.9% of Hong Kong's total exports and imports respectively.
This feature article analyses the performance and highlights the salient features of merchandise trade between Hong Kong and the Mainland during the period from 2012 to 2021.
