| Notes
:①Figures refers to the
proportion of underemployed persons in the labour force. Underemployed persons comprises those
employed |
| persons who have involuntarily worked less than 35 hours during the 7
days before enumeration and have sought additional work |
| during the 30 days before enumeration, or have not sought additional
work but have been available for additional work during the |
| 7 days before enumeration. Following this definition, employed persons
taking no-pay leave due to slack work during the 7 days |
| before enumeration are also classified as underemployed if they worked
less than 35 hours or were on leave even for the whole |
| period during the 7-day period. |
| ②The real wage index
indicates changes in the purchasing power of the amount of wages earned and
is obtained by deflating the |
| nominal wage index by the Consumer Price Index (A). |
| ③The Census and
Statistics Department completed an exercise to implement the latest
international guidelines on dealing with financial |
| intermediation services produced by banks in the estimation of
national accounts statistics of Hong Kong in mid-August 2005. As a |
| result of this statistical development, figures presented in this
table were revised. |
| ④Separate figures for
"First submission" and "Major revision" were not
available for 2002 and the years before. |
| ⑤Figures are for the
corresponding financial year.For example,figures for 2005 represent those for
financial year 2005/06. Since May |
| 2005, the housing type classifications of Housing Authority public
housing production have been revised as stated in notes ⑥ below. |
| The above production figures have taken into account this
reclassification. |
| ⑥Figures also include
flats transferred from the surplus of the Home Ownership Scheme. Interim Housing flats and those public
rental |
| housing flats transferred to Buy or Rent Option Scheme / Mortgage
Subsidy Scheme are not included. |
| ⑦Figures refer to end
of period position. |
| ⑧Figures include
arrival of non-Macao residents via Macao. |
| ⑨Figures are for the
corresponding financial year. For
example, figures for 2005 represent those for financial year 2005/06. |
| ⑩Figures for 2005 are
subject to audit by the Director of Audit. |
| ⑪Figures are adjusted
to include foreign currency swap deposits. |
| ⑫Figures are adjusted
to exclude foreign currency swap deposits. Hong Kong dollar is the legal
tender in the Hong Kong Special Admi- |
| nistrative 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 Hong Kong dollar
and thus Chinese Renminbi is also treated as a foreign currency. |
| ⑬New series released
since 2 January 2002. |
| ⑭Figures cover both
day and evening schools. |
| ⑮Figures refer to all
students of University Grants Committee (UGC) - funded programmes and
students attending full-time accredited |
| self-financing post-secondary programmes at sub-degree level. For research postgraduate (RPg) programmes, figures before
2003 |
| include only students countedwithin the formal time limit and within
the UGC student number target. From 2003 onwards, RPg |
| students counted within the formal time limit and outside the UGC
student number target but wholly funded by UGC are also included. |
| ⑯Figures have been
made available since 2002. |
|
| ⑰Figures are as at
end of the financial year. |
|
| ⑱Figures for 2001
include the payments for 2 April 2001 to 1 April 2002. Figures for 2002 include the payments
for 2 April 2002 to |
|
| 31 March 2003. |
|
| ⑲Persons arrested for
crime are counted based on the number of occasions on which the offenders are
arrested, whether or not they are |
|
| prosecuted. If a person is
arrested on two or more occasions, each occasion is counted as a ‘separate’
person. If a person is arrested |
| on one occasion for several offences, the offence with the maximum
permissible penalty, being the heaviest, is chosen for statistical |
| purposes. |
|
| (20)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 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. |
|
| (21)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
different 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. |
| (22)Position as at end of period. |
|
| (23)Net international investment position is the difference between
total external financial assets and total external financial liabilities. |
|
| "(blank)" Not
