Hong Kong's foreign currency reserve assets amounted to US$122.3 billion at the end of August, up US$400 million on the previous month, the Monetary Authority says.

 

Hong Kong is the world's seventh-largest holder of foreign currency reserves after Japan, the Mainland, Taiwan, South Korea, Russia and India.

 

The assets represent over six times the currency in circulation or about 42% of Hong Kong dollar M3.
