The Hong Kong Monetary Authority ("HKMA") reports that, as of November 2025, the official foreign currency reserve assets of Hong Kong stood at US$429.4 billion, representing an increase from the previous month of US$426.1 billion. Notably, there were no unsettled foreign exchange contracts at either the end of November or October 2025.
This substantial asset base translates to over five times the currency in circulation and approximately 38% of Hong Kong dollar M3. The HKMA is committed to maintaining high transparency, releasing four press releases per month concerning the Exchange Fund’s data.
Among these, three align with the International Monetary Fund’s Special Data Dissemination Standard ("SDDS"), and the fourth addresses the Exchange Fund’s Abridged Balance Sheet and Currency Board Account. Scheduled press releases for December 2025 are as follows:
- On 5 December, the SDDS International Reserves (Latest Foreign Currency Reserve Assets Figures) will be issued.
- On 12 December, the SDDS Analytical Accounts of the Central Bank (Analytical Accounts of the Exchange Fund) will be released.
- On 31 December, the SDDS Template on International Reserves and Foreign Currency Liquidity and the Exchange Fund Abridged Balance Sheet and Currency Board Account will be published.
