  1. Supertrader: Hong Kong．40 Years of Trade

  2. Trade - Hong Kong’s Lifeblood In the last 40 years, trade and industry has expanded dramatically in Hong Kong, with annual trade valued at more than HK$4,500 billion in 2005.Hong Kong is the world's 11th largest trading economy. Trade and industry employ a workforce of more than 1.3 million.

  3. Founded October 1, 1966, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) is a statutory organisation responsible for promoting Hong Kong’s exports of goods and services. The TDC now has more than 40 offices around the world.

  4. 60S East Africa was an important export market for Hong Kong products in the 1960s. As there were no regularly scheduled trade fairs, the TDC converted a container truck into a mobile exhibition unit, promoting Hong Kong products to local consumers across Africa.

  5. The Kingdom of Plastic Flowers In the 1960s, assembling plastic flowers at home for local factories was a means of supplementing income for many families. Later, Hong Kong manufacturers turned to plastic dolls. Their production activities laid the foundation for the development of Hong Kong’s toy industry in the 1970s.  Today, Hong Kong is the world's largest and second-largest exporter of artificial flowers and toys respectively. 

  6. Something as small as a flower contributes to Hong Kong’s economy. What’s your contribution?

  7. 70S Launched by the TDC in 1977, the Young Designers’ Show helps develop new fashion design talent in Hong Kong.

  8. 70S 80S The lack of exhibition venues in the 1970s and 1980s meant that Hong Kong SMEs could participate only in overseas trade fairs. Local exhibitions took place mostly in hotels or the World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay.  Phase 1 of the CEC was officially opened in 1988, providing more than 25,000 square metres of exhibition space.

  9. 70S 80S In 1979, Hong Kong overtook Switzerland and Japan as theworld’s largest watch exporterin terms of quantity. Hong Kong became the world’slargest clothing exporter in terms of value in 1983.

  10. 80S NOW Hong Kong’s economy was at a critical stage of transformation in the 1980s and 1990s. With services making up 90 per cent of its GDP (the world’s highest), Hong Kong is now a service-based economy. Trade, finance and logistics became its new economic pillars. Hong Kong also helps mainland enterprises “go out” and companies around the world expand in Asia.

  11. Are you proud of the effort made by Hong Kong people?
