| | Hong Kong dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Hong Kong dollar (currency code HKD) is the currency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, and has been the currency of Hong Kong since 1937. | | | A further aim of allowing the Hong Kong Dollar to trade in a range is to avoid the HK dollar being used as a proxy for speculative bets on a Yuan (Renminbi) revaluation. | | | Currency in Hong Kong is issued by the Government and three local banks under the supervision of the territory's de facto central bank, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. |

| | The Demise of the Hong Kong Dollar Peg -- CBR Mar-Apr 2003 |
| | Hong Kong has had a fixed exchange rate system since 1983, when the value of the Hong Kong dollar was fixed at HK$7.80 per US dollar in response to currency instability and general uncertainty about Hong Kong's future in the years before its return to China. | | | The rising fiscal deficit and consequent erosion of fiscal reserves are undermining the foundation of the Hong Kong dollar peg. | | | Chi Lo he Hong Kong Dollar Link, as the local currency peg to the US dollar is officially called, was set up in 1984 to guarantee currency stability in the run-up to the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997. |

| | According to the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, Hong Kong maintains a dual income tax system under which individuals are taxed either progressively, between 2 percent and 20 percent, on income adjusted for deductions and allowances or at a flat rate of 16 percent on their gross income, depending on which liability is lower. | | | Hong Kong's fiscal burden of government score is 0.2 point better this year, and its government intervention score is 0.5 point better. | | | Hong Kong has passed legislation making it easier for foreign banks to enter the market by removing restrictions on the number of branches foreign banks can operate in Hong Kong (November 2001) and by lowering asset and deposit criteria for new foreign bank branches (May 2002). |

| | Speech: The Hong Kong Dollar Link |
| | This is the result of the HKMA, in the settlement of the deals, debiting the clearing accounts of the banks the Hong Kong dollars required for settlement. | | | Indeed, the Hong Kong dollar is one of the two major currencies in the Asian region that have not been affected by the recent tidal wave of devaluations, the other being the renminbi (RMB) of the Mainland of China. | | | The Accounting Arrangements were subsequently replaced by another arrangement, on the occasion of the introduction of Real Time Gross Settlement for interbank transactions in Hong Kong towards the end of 1996, requiring all licensed banks to maintain a clearing account with the HKMA for the account of the Exchange Fund. |

| | The Hong Kong dollar also will continue to be pegged to the US dollar at the fixed rate of US$1 to HK$7.80. | | | In dispelling the myth of a pending capital flight, the Hong Kong government has noted that there has continued to be a substantial private sector capital inflow leading up to the handover, and a substantial increase in official foreign currency reserves held in the Exchange Fund. | | | And after 1997, Chinese banks operating in Hong Kong will continue to be supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority under its current policies and practices. |

| | TheStreet.com: Hong Kong Dollar Could Slip Even as the Yuan Holds Firm |
| | Hong Kong, the onetime paragon of free market economics, is today a tangle of economic distortions. | | | Hong Kong may have been the pearl of the Orient when Beijing took over from the British 14 months ago, but Chinese authorities today clearly fear that, in the short term, Hong Kong's shaky currency and stock market values pose more of a threat to China's economy than vice versa. | | | Indeed, it now seems more plausible that the Hong Kong currency will crack first and that officials in Beijing, now evidently more determined than ever to avoid devaluation of the yuan in the foreseeable future, will do everything they can to save their currency. |

| | Hong Kong’s 'linked exchange rate' (also known as the 'peg') is a currency board system under which the Hong Kong dollar notes are fully backed by the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.8 per US dollar. | | | The relationship between Hong Kong dollar’s risk premium during the recent Asian financial crisis and four fundamental economic variables whose deterioration is widely regarded as conducive to currency crisis is explored. | | | Based on the forward premium from January 1997 to December1998, the devaluation probability of the Hong Kong dollar as perceived by the foreign exchange market is calculated. |

| | They said the Hong Kong dollar should not be appreciating at the moment given the weak economy and large budget deficit, which is expected to reach a record of more than HK$70 billion this financial year, or about six percent of gross domestic product. | | | HONG KONG, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Investors may have lost a big chunk of the estimated US$5 billion they were betting on a Hong Kong dollar depreciation as the pegged currency staged a rare, sharp jump against the U.S. dollar this week. | | | One-year Hong Kong dollar forwards, a measure of the perceived risk to the currency peg, swung on Tuesday from a premium to a deep discount for the first time since 2001, showing investors were expecting a stronger Hong Kong dollar. |

| | The Hong Kong dollar was “pegged” to the US dollar in October 1983 — after Hong Kong’s Money Panic almost destroyed the value of Hong Kong’s currency. | | | They’ll be joined by everyone in Hong Kong, and all the billions of US dollars in the coffers of Hong Kong’s Monetary Authority are unlikely to be enough to halt the wave of selling, any more than the Bank of England could halt the run on sterling in 1992. | | | The Hong Kong dollar then stood at HK$6.55 to the US dollar. |

| | ING foresees that the forward discount on the Hong Kong Dollar price will continue to widen as investors and risk managers rebalance their positions in light their new appreciation of the Hong Kong Dollar. | | | ING forecasts that the Hong Kong Dollar one-year forward will see increased buying in the market and will trade to -200 pips from its present level of -60 pips, which would imply a spot exchange rate in one year of HK$7.73 to the U.S. Dollar. | | | The prediction that the Hong Kong Dollar faces upside pressure, rather than only downside pressure, comes as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority intervened in the currency markets last week, after the Hong Kong Dollar strengthened to a six-year high of 7.7050 against the U.S. Dollar. |

| | China raises 1-yr US dollar, Hong Kong dollar deposit rates - UPDATE - Forbes.com |
| | On July 21, the central bank added 50 basis points to the ceilings on both the US and Hong Kong dollar deposit rates in a decision widely seen as aimed at preventing an inflow of speculative capital or hot money seeking to capitalize on further gains beyond the yuan's initial 2.1 pct appreciation. | | | In a statement on its website, the central bank said the ceilings on the new US and Hong Kong dollar deposit rates will be 2 pct and 1.875 pct respectively. | | | The move comes almost a month to the day after the last rise in US and Hong Kong dollar deposit rates, timed moments before China scrapped its currency's 11-year-old peg to the US dollar in favor of a basket of currencies. |
