HKMA launches first Chinese book
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) today (Thursday) launched its first Chinese book titled Hong Kong's Monetary and Banking System - Review and Outlook.
The publication is a compilation of speeches and articles explaining HKMA's philosophy of operations and policies on monetary and banking matters.
The articles are grouped into five sections, including the linked exchange rate system; the Exchange Fund; banking policy and supervision, and payment system.
The last section of the book is about the monetary relations between mainland China and Hong Kong in the run up to and beyond 1997. This section includes several recent and important speeches by senior officials of the People's Bank of China and the HKMA.
"This Chinese book will widen the readership of HKMA's publications. This is part of our effort to promote transparency and public understanding of Hong Kong's monetary and banking policies," said a spokesman for the HKMA.
The book is available at the Government Publication Centre (Queensway) and major bookstores at $120 per copy.
