Hong Kong Taux d'intérêt

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) slashed its base rate by 25 basis points to 4.0% on December 11, mirroring the U.S. Federal Reserve’s move hours before and bringing borrowing costs to their lowest level since October 2022. It was the HKMA’s third rate reduction this year. Implemented through the overnight discount window, the adjustment underscores Hong Kong’s policy alignment with the U.S., as the city’s currency remains firmly pegged to the dollar at 7.75–7.85. The latest decision came after HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue recently noted that Hong Kong’s residential property market has stabilized, though the commercial real estate sector continues to face headwinds. Hong Kong's economy expanded 3.8% year-on-year in Q3, accelerating from 3.1% in Q2 and marking its fastest pace in nearly two years, buoyed by stable private consumption, solid exports and a robust rebound in tourism.
