| Notes: ¢ÙFigures are for the corresponding financial year. For example, figures for 1996 would represent the figures for financial year 1996/97. |
| ¢ÚExcluding Private Sector Participation Scheme . |
| ¢ÛStarting from 1998, a new series of container though put statistics has been compiled. To facilitate comparison, figure for 1997 under the |
| new series are presented in brackets. |
| ¢ÜFigures include arrival of non-Macao residents via Macao. |
| ¢ÝFigures are adjusted to include foreign currency swap deposits. |
| ¢ÞFigures are adjusted to exclude foreign currency swap deposits. Hong Kong dollar is the legal tender in the Hong Kong Special Admini- |
| strative Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China".Foreign |
| currency refers to any currency other than the Hong Kong currency. Accordingly Chinese Renminbi is also treated as foreign currency. |
| ¢ßNew series released since 2 January 2002. For details, please see the feature article entitled ¡°New Series of Effective Exchange Rate Index |
| for the Hong Kong Dollar¡± in the December 2001 issue of the "Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics". |
| ¢àFigures are as at end of the financial year. |
| ¢áThe Chinese term used in the publications of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is ¡°±¾µØÉú²ú×ÜÖµ¡±. |
| ¢âThe Chinese term used in the publications of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is ¡°±¾µØ¾ÓÃñÉú²ú×ÜÖµ¡±. In line with |
| the latest major revision of GDP data series, GNP figures have been revised accordingly. |
| (11) A positive value for the balance figure in the current account represents a surplus whereas a negative value represents a deficit. For the |
| capital and financial account, a positive value indicates a net capital and financial inflow and a negative value indicates a net outflow. As |
| increases in external assets are debit entries and decreases are credit entries, a negative value for net change in reserve assets represents |
| a net increase and a positive value represents a net decrease. |
| (12) In principle, the net sum of credit entries and debit entries is zero. In practice, discrepancies between the credit and debit entries may |
| however occur for various reasons as the data are collected from many sources. Equality between the sum of credit entries and debit entries |
| is brought about by the inclusion of a balancing item which reflects net errors and omissions. |
| (13) The trade index numbers have been updated. The new series has year 2000 as the base year. In the new series, indexes for periods prior to |
| 2000 are obtained by re-scaling the previously published series, which has 1990 as the base year, using a conversion factor derived from the |
| levels of the old and new series in the overlapping period of 2000. |
| (14) Position as at end of period. |
| (15) Net international investment position is the difference between total external financial assets and total external financial liabilities. |
| (16) In line with the latest major revision of GDP data series, relevant BoP figures for 1998 to 2001 have been revised. |
| ^ Provisional figure. |
