Goldilocks’ Global Economic News 5-25-2024
HKMA is making changes to their USD liquidity facility.
“A liquidity facility is a committed, undrawn backup facility that can be used to refinance a customer’s debt obligations if they are unable to roll it over in financial markets.”
HKMA is moving their money settlement process from T+1 to T+0. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is making this policy change to give them instant access to money flows.
Hong Kong has been in pilot programs in the new digital economy that enables them to process their digital money instantly.
This will give them a trading advantage that many countries will want to catch up to going forward. This is why I told you a while back that the movement from T+1 settlements at the end of this month would not last long.
It looks like the new digital asset-based trading system has now become a driver for the rest of the global economy to interface new electronic settlement protocols just to keep pace.
The new digital payment system has now become a competitive edge for countries who are further along in the new QFS. HKMA ADGM

HKMA Announcement:
“HKMA Updates Social Performance Module (SPM) to Drive Banking Sector Upskilling”
We have recently been talking about many banks going through logistics training and especially in their foreign currency exchange departments.
Here, we have a report that Hong Kong is Upskilling their banking practitioners.
Part of the reskilling of their banking employees deals with The Exchange Stabilization Fund. The ESF deals with three types of assets:
* The US Dollar
* Foreign Currencies
* Special Drawing Rights
The SDR is an international reserve asset. It is created by the International Monetary Fund. This particular asset class is a transitional currency. It will help stabilize and redistribute monetary volumes and access expansion to various currencies to aid in the process of moving from a World Reserve Asset to a local currency regimen backed by gold.
This process will begin to create price pressures on global currencies. Credit valuation adjustments will be a part of this process.
As of August 2023, the SDR basket of currencies consists of the following percentages:
* US dollar: 43.38
* Euro: 29.31
* Chinese yuan: 12.28
* Japanese yen: 7.59
* British pound sterling: 7.44
These percentages will shift during the transition as new alliances have been formed the last few years through new trading partners. Don’t be surprised if we do not see a digital currency added to this list.
Hong Kong is an open market economy driven by supply and demand. Currently, the United States dollar is their main asset to drive their Market, but a shift change to a gold backed regimen will immediately change everything for Hong Kong and those who trade with them which is many countries.
Hong Kong has been through several digital pilot programs and completed many of their projects. They are well equipped for the new shift in our economy.
China is currently driving the gold market to new highs along with new BRICS Nations. These changes will come at a heavy price on the US Dollars’ performance.
We are in a transition that has taken a lot of time, but the shifts to the global economy are beginning to take a different shape. Investopedia HKMA Linkedin Home Treasury. RegulationAsia

Hong Kong is one of the few open market economies that we have. Vietnam is about to become one in July.
There will be many more, and the changes in currency rates will be determined by these changes.
