Contract size, tick size and tick value

In order to undrestand the difference between the contract size, the tick size and the tick value, the relationship between these three entities is the following one:

Tick Value = Contract Size * Tick Size

Some examples:

Symbol: FX USD
Exchange : GLOBEX
Currency : USD
Multiplier / Contract value : $125,000
Tick size / Minimum price change : 0.0001
Tick value / Minimum price value : $12.50

Index : HSI
Exchange : HKFE
Currency : HKD
Multiplier / Contract value : 50 HKD
Tick size / Minimum price change : 1
Tick value / Minimum price value : 50 HKD

Symbol: CAC40
Exchange : MONEP
Currency : EUR
Multiplier / Contract value : 10 EUR
Tick size / Minimum price change : 0.5
Tick value / Minimum price value : 5 EUR
