The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said today the total assets of the Exchange Fund amounted to HK$3,316 billion as at 30 June 2015, HK$12.7 billion higher than that at the end of May 2015. Foreign currency assets decreased by HK$0.4 billion while Hong Kong dollar assets increased by HK$13.1 billion.
The decline in foreign currency assets was mainly due to mark-to-market losses on foreign currency portfolios, which was largely offset by the proceeds from the issuance of US dollar-denominated sukuk under government bond programme. The rise in Hong Kong dollar assets was mainly due to an increase in Exchange Fund Bills and Notes issued but not yet settled, which was partly offset by withdrawals of placements by Fiscal Reserves and HKSAR government funds and statutory bodies as well as mark-to-market losses on Hong Kong equities.
