September 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 "Composite Employment Estimates 2021" and "The Asset Management Industry in Hong Kong".
"Composite Employment Estimates 2021"
In studies of employment statistics, the issue of discrepancies observed between the employment data obtained from establishment-based surveys (which refer to occupied posts in firms) and those data obtained from household surveys (which refer to persons employed) is common. To tackle this, the C&SD has been compiling a set of Composite Employment Estimates (CEE) which reconciles, under a designated statistical framework, the results obtained from the household-based General Household Survey and the establishment-based Quarterly Survey of Employment and Vacancies since 1997.
This feature article provides the CEE figures in individual industries for 2016 to 2021. It also gives an account of the characteristics of CEE and briefly discusses the differences and usage of CEE vis-à-vis the other employment figures.

"The Asset Management Industry in Hong Kong"
Hong Kong is one of the most vibrant international financial centres in the world and has strength in managing investments in the Asia Pacific region. The asset management industry has a stable development in Hong Kong in recent years. This feature article presents the operating characteristics and economic contribution of this industry between 2016 and 2020. It also briefly highlights the recent quarterly business performance of this industry.

Topics include population; labour; external trade; National Income and Balance of Payments; prices; business performance; energy; housing and property; government accounts, finance and insurance; and transport, communications and tourism. For selected key statistical items, over 20 charts depicting the annual trend in the past decade and quarterly or monthly trend in the recent two years are also available.
