AbstractHong Kong's official balance of payments will not be available unitl 1999. As an interim measure to stimulate discussion, a set of tentative numbers have been constructed as research exercise in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). They suggest Hong Kong had an overall surplus in the balance of payments (excluding reserves) in 1993, 1994 and 1995. There was a modest current account surplus in 1993 and a small deficit in 1994. This was reflected in net private capital inflow and increased international reserves. Further explanation and analysis are given in this article.
