Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is the central banking institution of Hong Kong.

  • The HKMA’s four main functions are:
  • maintaining currency stability within the framework of the Linked Exchange Rate System;
  • promoting the stability and integrity of the financial system, including the banking system;
  • helping to maintain Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre, including the maintenance and development of Hong Kong’s financial infrastructure; and
  • managing the Exchange Fund.
