Hong Kong Monetary Authority: The total assets of Hong Kong's exchange fund increased by HK$36.7 billion to HK$4.39 trillion at the end of May.

On June 30, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that as of May 31, 2026, the total assets of the Exchange Fund amounted to HK$4,390.7 billion, an increase of HK$36.7 billion from the end of April. Foreign currency assets increased by HK$39.8 billion, while Hong Kong dollar assets decreased by HK$3.1 billion. The increase in foreign currency assets was mainly due to interest income and revaluation of investments at market prices, as well as proceeds from the issuance of government bonds, but this increase was partially offset by a decrease in the month-end balance of securities purchased but not yet settled. The decrease in Hong Kong dollar assets was mainly due to the market revaluation of Hong Kong stocks. According to the Accounts of the Exchange Fund, the monetary base remained unchanged at HK$2,072.2 billion at the end of May. The total amount of certificate of indebtedness decreased, but this decrease was offset by the amortization of discount on foreign exchange fund bills and bonds issued. The total amount of supporting assets at the end of May increased by HK$4.0 billion to HK$2,313.8 billion, representing a 0.2% increase. The increase in supporting assets mainly came from interest income from investments, but this increase was partially offset by the redemption of certificate of indebtedness and revaluation of investments at market prices. The supporting ratio increased from 111.47% at the end of April to 111.66% at the end of May.
