Hong Kong’s official foreign currency reserve assets rose to US$431.0 billion at the end of May 2025, up from US$410.2 billion in April, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) said on Friday.
Including unsettled foreign exchange contracts, the total reserve assets amounted to US$430.9 billion, compared with US$409.4 billion a month earlier.
The reserves represent more than five times the value of currency in circulation and about 38% of Hong Kong’s broad money supply (M3), underscoring the city’s substantial external liquidity buffer.
The increase comes amid ongoing global financial market volatility and continued efforts by Hong Kong to maintain currency stability under its linked exchange rate system.
