Hong Kong Monetary Authority: As of the end of September, the total assets of foreign exchange funds reached HK$4,152.2 billion, an increase of HK$82 billion from the end of August.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced today that as of September 30, 2025, the total assets of the Exchange Fund amounted to HKD 415.22 billion, an increase of HKD 82 billion from the end of August 2025. Among them, Hong Kong dollar assets increased by HKD 97.2 billion, while foreign currency assets decreased by HKD 15.2 billion. The increase in Hong Kong dollar assets was mainly due to an increase in the month-end balance of exchange fund bills and bonds subscribed but not yet settled, as well as a revaluation of Hong Kong stocks at market prices. The decrease in foreign currency assets was primarily due to a reduction in the month-end balance of reserve deposits and unsettled securities purchased, partially offset by interest income from investments and the revaluation of investments at market prices. The accounts of the Currency Issue Office showed that the monetary base at the end of September 2025 was HKD 202.02 billion, an increase of HKD 6 billion from the end of August 2025, representing a growth of 0.3%. The increase in the monetary base was mainly due to an increase in the total amount of certificate of indebtedness and the amortization of discount on exchange fund bills and bonds issued. The total amount of supporting assets at the end of September 2025 increased by HKD 7 billion to HKD 221.82 billion, representing a growth of 0.3%. The increase in supporting assets was mainly due to interest income from investments. The support ratio increased from 109.78% at the end of August 2025 to 109.80% at the end of September 2025.
