[HONG KONG] The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) lowered its base rate charged through the overnight discount window to 0.86 per cent on Monday, after the US Federal Reserve delivered a rate cut.
HKMA earlier this month lowered its base rate to 1.5 per cent tracking the rate cut by the Fed.
Hong Kong's monetary policy moves in lock-step with the United States as the city's currency is pegged to the greenback at a tight range of 7.75-7.85 per dollar.
