The Zhitong Finance App learned that on October 30, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that as of September 30, 2026, the total assets of the Exchange Fund were HK$438.4 billion, a decrease of HK$27 billion compared with the end of August 2026, including a decrease of HK$19.4 billion in foreign currency assets and a decrease of HK$7.6 billion in Hong Kong dollar assets. The decline in foreign currency assets is mainly due to the revaluation of investments at market prices. The decline in Hong Kong dollar assets is mainly due to the revaluation of Hong Kong stocks at market prices.

According to the accounts of the Hong Kong Currency Board, the monetary base at the end of September 2026 was HK$209.2 billion, an increase of HK$10 billion over the end of August 2026, or 0.5%. The increase in the monetary base was mainly due to an increase in the total amount of certificates of debt and amortization of issued Exchange Fund notes and bonds.

Total support assets increased by HK$4.1 billion to HK$2334 billion at the end of September 2026, an increase of 0.2%. The increase in supporting assets was mainly due to interest income from investments and the issuance of debt certificates, but the increase was partially offset by the investment being revalued at market price. The approval ratio fell from 112.00% at the end of August 2026 to 111.66% at the end of September 2026.
