About Hong Kong Dollar
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) has been the official currency of Hong Kong since 1863. It has been pegged to the US Dollar under a Currency Board system since 1983 within a tight band of 7.75 to 7.85 HKD per USD, providing monetary stability crucial for Hong Kong's role as a global financial centre. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) manages the peg by automatically adjusting interest rates. Hong Kong is one of the world's most important financial hubs, hosting one of Asia's largest stock exchanges.
About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
