Is the Hong Kong dollar currently experiencing a period of weakness? Has the weakness been severe enough to prompt significant intervention by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)? Could you elaborate on the statistics released by the authority, which indicate that the HKMA has purchased nearly 289 billion Hong Kong dollars ($37 billion) from banks? How does this compare to previous instances of currency intervention? Additionally, what impact has the Hong Kong dollar touching the weak end of its trading band, 7.85, more than 40 times since last May had on the overall financial stability of Hong Kong?
