|
|
|
As international investors diversify away from US dollar assets and amid the rise of internationalisation of the yuan, there are calls for reviewing the Hong Kong dollar's peg. Here is what to know about the system.

|
China's central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are consolidating scattered overseas accounts into unified treasury hubs, with Hong Kong emerging as the preferred base amid a broader crackdown on outflows of state cash.
