(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-01 14:15 The assets of Hong Kong's Exchange Fund stood at HK$1.76 trillion($225.6 billion) at the end of May, up HK$114.7 billion($14.7 billion) from a month earlier, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said Tuesday. Foreign currency assets grew by HK$98.1 billion in May thanks to purchases of foreign currencies with HK dollars and valuation gains on foreign currency investments, the Monetary Authority said.
The monetary base rose 11.5 percent from a month earlier to hit HK$690.3 billion mainly due to an increase in the aggregate balance. The backing assets rose 10.7 percent to HK$733.9 billion, while the backing ratio fell from 107.13 percent to 106.32 percent. The Exchange Fund has been the holder of the backing to the note issue of Hong Kong since its establishment. More resources were put in the fund, which had gradually come to be slightly more actively managed over the past decade or so. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
