The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said on 29 October 2026 that carry trades may ease the Hong Kong dollar after the US Federal Reserve held rates, and that an uncertain US rate path may influence Hong Kong's interest rate environment.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has raised its dedicated RMB repo facility to RMB22 billion and designated 12 banks as Primary Liquidity Providers for two years from October 2026. The release sets out those operational parameters. It does not price hedges or resize investor holdings.

A DBS survey of 422 leaders at companies with annual revenue above US$500 million, published on 28 October 2026, finds 88 per cent already deploying or piloting tokenised money for expansion and liquidity, led by stablecoins.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority can add private equity and property for 2027 only from the Exchange Fund surplus over the monetary base. Investors who treat the published size of the fund as investable capital will misread the mandate.

As Asia-Pacific private banks and family offices set 2027 mandates, the choice that governs investor outcomes is the reference currency and the hedge policy beside it. Pictet's published beliefs treat that currency as a significant influence on allocation and construction, not as a starting line in a published sequence. No 2027 Asia-Pacific model weight should be inferred.

Competition for Pan-Asian private-wealth assets is shifting from booking centre to a narrower test: whether an onshore bond can be pledged for liquidity inside the home market.
