1.
UK GDP per head remained above Hong Kong GDP per head (US$ terms) in 1992 despite the end year depreciation of sterling. It is worth noting that the average $/£ exchange rate (which should be used for calculating $ GDP per head) for 1992 was almost the same as 1991. Though Hong Kong grew faster than the UK this was insufficient to bridge the gap in GDP per head.
