Question:
In paragraph 19 of his budget speech, the Financial Secretary pointed out that the Special Loan Guarantee Scheme (SpGS) so far has benefited over 16 000 enterprises and indirectly preserved jobs for 280 000 or so employees. For this, please provide the following information:
a. the number of jobs which belong to the internship opportunities category;
b. the number of jobs which belong to the training opportunities category;
c. the number of jobs which belong to the non-internship and non-training opportunities category;
d. the number of jobs, which belong to the non-internship and non-training opportunities category and have an employment period that lasts over 12 months;
e. the number of newly created posts;
f. the number of newly created posts with an employment period that lasts over 12 months;
g. by Trade and Industry Department (TID)’s estimation, how much loan will be approved under the whole SpGS at the end of June, 2010.
Asked by: Hon. WONG Sing-chi
Reply:
(a) – (f)
The total number of employees of all beneficiary enterprises under the SpGS is compiled with reference to the information provided by these enterprises in their loan applications. We do not have information on the types of post.
(g)
The SpGS was launched on 15 December 2008. As at end of February 2010, TID has approved 28 533 applications, involving a total loan amount of over $69 billion. We estimate that by the end of June 2010, the total number of applications will be around 35 000, involving a total loan amount of around $98 billion. The number of employees hired by beneficiary enterprises may be affected by many factors. It would be difficult to provide an accurate estimation at the moment.
