43.907 trillion, driven by both interest income and revaluation, but Hong Kong stocks held it back—how will the HKMA play this game?

CoinJie News, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that as of May 31, 2026, the total assets of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund stood at HK$4,390.7 billion, an increase of HK$36.7 billion from the end of April. Among them, foreign currency assets increased by HK$39.8 billion, while Hong Kong dollar assets decreased by HK$3.1 billion. The increase in foreign currency assets was mainly due to interest income and revaluation of investments at market prices, as well as proceeds from the issuance of government bonds, but the increase was partially offset by a decline in the month-end balance of purchased but unsettled securities. The decrease in Hong Kong dollar assets was mainly due to the revaluation of Hong Kong stocks at market prices.
