Economic History

Hong Kong

The market exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar remained on the weak side of the link during 2000, ranging from 7.781 to 7.798. During the Asian financial crisis, the link was maintained through the operations of the currency board mechanism, which resulted in upward adjustments -- at times quite sharp -- of interest rates.
