4月2日星期五02:15更新

Citibank宣布計劃將香港零售銀行業務注入花旗集團屬下一家全資附屬香港註冊公司。發言人強調，此舉非因想透過更緊密經貿關係安排(CEPA)發展大陸巿場，而是發展香港巿場。不過，根據CEPA的安排下，香港銀行在內地開設分行的資產總額，由內地規定的200億美元降至60億美元。本地一些銀行如永隆銀行、上海商業銀行及大新銀行均能受惠於CEPA條款，並已獲批准在內地開設分行。渣打銀行計劃在今年稍後透過私人條例草案，將香港分行及其四家本地附屬公司的業務轉撥至渣打香港。TowhatextendcanCEPAhelpHKtominimizetheexistingproblem?RolesFormerFinancialSecretary,Mr.Anthony

31萬隻光碟零關稅輸內地

1月7日星期三13:05更新

在CEPA下香港第一批以「零關稅」輸往內地的產品為31萬隻可讀光碟，廠商節省了二萬多元關稅這批光碟總值23.52萬元，節省8.8%關稅。CEPA已於元旦起實施，出口大陸的374種本港商品享有零關稅優惠。香港總商會總裁翁以登預料，到二月中將陸續有更多貨物以零關稅運返內地，相信外商可能在稍後利用CEPA來港設廠，但他不期望香港能回復七十年代的製造業大本營。BossofanInformationTechnologyfirminHK,
