Hong Kong central bank cuts interest rate, tracking Fed move


HONG KONG: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority on Thursday cut its base interest rate charged via the overnight discount window by 25 basis points to 4.50 per cent, tracking a move by the US Federal Reserve.

Hong Kong’s monetary policy moves in lock-step with the United States as the city’s currency is pegged to the greenback in a tight range of 7.75-7.85 per dollar.
