The Past

Proclamation On Moratorium

The Moratorium Proclamation was repealed by Government yesterday. The order was pub- lished, in a Gazette, Extraordinary. Making the announcement at the Legislative Coun- cil meeting, the Financial Secretary said that the delay in lifting the Moratorium was due to the petitions by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce opposing the enactment of the Debtor and Creditor (Occupation Period Or-" dinance of 1948.

The lifting of the Moratorium means that debtors will have to pay to creditors, mostly banks, between HK$70,000,000 and HK$100,000,000 —about one-third of the Colony's note circula- tion before the war.
