Hong Kong's Foreign Exchange Fund Assets Rise to HK$4.39 Trillion in May, Up HK$36.7 Billion

According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, as of May 31, 2026, the total assets of the Foreign Exchange Fund reached HK$4.39 trillion, an increase of HK$36.7 billion from end-April. Foreign currency assets rose by HK$39.8 billion, while Hong Kong dollar assets declined by HK$3.1 billion.

The increase in foreign currency assets was primarily driven by interest income and revaluation of investments at market value, as well as proceeds from government bond issuance, though gains were partially offset by the decrease in unsettled securities holdings. The decline in Hong Kong dollar assets was mainly attributed to the revaluation of Hong Kong equities at market value.
