HONG KONG/US DOLLAR LINK
RESTRICTED
1. Contribution to stability
Since October 1983 the Hong Kong/US dollar link has brought about
stability and maintained confidence by creating a predictable
financial framework. Any change in the link would be a matter for
the Hong Kong Government. They are convinced tht such an action
would cause uncertainty and speculation in the years ahead, which
could seriously harm Hong Kong. We endorse this view.
