The adoption of a managed currency is a concession to the accepted principle that Hong Kong is bound to China in Its currency policy, in so far as any wide divergence of the Bong Kong dollar from the Chinese dollar means a dislocation of trading facilities.
There can be 'bo doubt as to the prudence of the measures, adopted by China to check the depletion of the national reserves.
THE FUTURE?
So far as Hong Kong is concern ed, a basic change of this signi- ficance involves too many uncer- tainties to warrant any prediculon as to the future.
Stability of exchange is said to be the first step towards renabill- tation of trade, and a managed currency should promote confidence in the machinery of our commerce. It is not, however, to be expected that it wil restore to merchants markets lost by tariff barriers, cheap foreign labour. and sub- sidized competition.
Its fullest effect will be felt in proportion.as the manufactur- Ing and producing resources of the Colony are developed.
The slight expansion evident on these lines during recent years can give rise to no confident optimism as to the immediate future, though such enterprises that may be ex- ploited will escape the risk of vio- lent fluctuations in exchange that
