Hong Kong Monetary Authority: The total assets of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund as of November 30 were HK$4106.9 billion

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on December 31, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) released data showing that as of November 30, 2025, the total assets of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund were HK$4106.9 billion, a decrease of HK$10.7 billion from the end of October 2025, including a decrease of HK$9.9 billion in foreign currency assets and a decrease of HK$800 million in Hong Kong dollar assets.

The decrease in foreign currency assets was mainly due to a decrease in the month-end balance of purchased but unsettled securities, but the related decline was partially offset by amounts earned from issuing digital green bonds and RMB SAR government agency bonds, interest income from investments, and 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 Currency Board accounts, Hong Kong's monetary base at the end of November 2025 was HK$2,032.2 billion, an increase of HK$5.5 billion over the end of October 2025, or 0.3%. The increase in the monetary base was mainly due to an increase in the market value of outstanding Exchange Fund notes and bonds and an increase in the total amount of debt certificates.

Total supported assets increased by HK$14.2 billion to HK$2,241.3 billion at the end of November 2025, an increase of 0.6%. The increase in supporting assets is mainly due to interest income from investments and the revaluation of investments at market prices. The approval ratio rose from 109.89% at the end of October 2025 to 110.29% at the end of November 2025.
