In recent news, Hong Kong’s de facto central bank has taken action to defend the city’s currency peg. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that it used HK$9.4 billion ($1.2 billion) of its reserves to purchase Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange markets. This decision was made after the local currency fell below HK$7.85 per US dollar, which is the weaker end of the trading band allowed for the currency.

By intervening in the foreign exchange markets, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority aims to stabilize the Hong Kong dollar and prevent any further depreciation. This move is expected to reduce liquidity in the banking system and may lead to an increase in interbank lending rates, which have remained low since early May.

This is not the first time that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has intervened in the currency markets. In May, the Hong Kong dollar appreciated, prompting the HKMA to sell Hong Kong dollars to maintain the currency peg.

As this story continues to develop, it is important to stay informed about the latest updates and implications of these actions on the Hong Kong economy. The Editor’s Digest newsletter curated by Roula Khalaf is a great resource to gain insights into this and other important news stories shaping the global economy.
