Hong Kong's foreign currency reserve assets amounted to US$124.7 billion at the end of January, up US$1.1 billion on the previous month, the Monetary Authority says.
Including unsettled forward contracts, foreign currency reserve assets rose US$600 million from December to $124.2 billion.
The amount represents about six times the currency in circulation, or 44% of Hong Kong dollar M3.
Hong Kong ranks as the world's seventh largest holder of foreign currency reserves after Japan, the Mainland, Taiwan, South Korea, India and Russia.
