Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Hong Kong Dollar?+
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is issued by Hong Kong Monetary Authority. As the monetary authority for Hong Kong, it sets policy interest rates, manages foreign reserves, and controls the money supply.
What is the inflation rate of the Hong Kong Dollar?+
Latest available consumer price inflation for the Hong Kong Dollar: 1.73% YoY (2024). Source: World Bank annual series (FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG). Daily-refreshed historical chart on this page.
Has the Hong Kong Dollar been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 75% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between HKD as accounting unit and HKD as a store of value.
Is the Hong Kong Dollar sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Hong Kong Dollar currently scores 90.4. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
