Hong Kong's official foreign currency reserve assets were US$433.0 billion as at the end of September 2026, compared with US$442.8 billion at the end of August, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said in a release dated October 7, 2026. There were no unsettled foreign exchange contracts at either month-end.
The HKMA said the reserves represented more than five times the currency in circulation, or about 35 per cent of Hong Kong dollar M3. The figures were issued on behalf of the authority under the International Monetary Fund's Special Data Dissemination Standard.
The release also set out the 2027 publication calendar, with monthly reserve figures planned from February 5, 2027 through January 7, 2028. It listed four Exchange Fund data releases scheduled for October 2026, including the abridged balance sheet and Currency Board Account on October 30. These figures are a snapshot as of the source date.
