Hong Kong Monetary Authority
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) was established on April 1, 1993, by merging the Office of the Exchange Fund with the Office of the Commissioner of Banking. This was done to ensure that the central banking functions of maintaining monetary and banking stability can be performed with a high degree of professionalism and continuity, in the lead up to 1997 and beyond, in a manner that commands the confidence of the people of Hong Kong and the international financial community. The policy objectives of the HKMA include:
- to maintain currency stability, within the framework of the linked exchange rate system, through sound management of the Exchange Fund, monetary policy operations and other means deemed necessary;
- to promote the safety and stability of the banking system through the regulation of banking business and the business of taking deposits, and the supervision of authorized institutions; and
- to promote the efficiency, integrity and development of the financial system, particularly payment and settlement arrangements.
