About Chinese Yuan (¥)
The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY, ISO 4217 code 156, symbol ¥; also abbreviated RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBoC, est. 1948). 'Yuan' is the unit; 'Renminbi' is the currency's official name ('People's Currency'). Subdivided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Banknotes: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, ¥100 (Mao Zedong portrait on all denominations since 1999); coins: ¥0.10, ¥0.50, ¥1. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have separate currencies (HKD, MOP, TWD). CNY is a managed-float currency — PBoC sets a daily reference rate (the 'fix') against USD and allows ±2% intraday movement. CNY achieved Special Drawing Rights (SDR) inclusion October 2016 (10.92% weighting, replacing portions of EUR + GBP weight). CNY is the world's 5th-largest reserve currency (~2.4% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024) but use is constrained by capital controls. PBoC's e-CNY (Digital Currency Electronic Payment, DC/EP) CBDC has the world's largest CBDC user base (~260M wallets).
About Hong Kong Dollar (HK$)
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD, ISO 4217 code 344, symbol HK$) is the official currency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, issued by three commercial banks under license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA, est. 1993): HSBC, Standard Chartered Hong Kong, and Bank of China (Hong Kong). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: HK$10 (HKMA-issued, polymer), HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500, HK$1000 (commercial-bank issued, each bank's series featuring distinct designs); coins: 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, HK$1, HK$2, HK$5, HK$10. HKD is pegged to USD under the Linked Exchange Rate System since October 17, 1983 — the convertibility band is HK$7.75-7.85 per USD with HKMA's strong-side and weak-side convertibility undertakings. This makes HKD effectively a USD proxy. HKD circulates alongside CNY in cross-border trade but capital flows are managed by mainland authorities. Hong Kong is the world's 4th-largest FX trading center per BIS Triennial Survey.
