Bank of Hong Kong may cut interest rates in the second half of the year – Sing Tao Daily

The U.S. Federal Reserve System kept interest rates unchanged, which also brought stability to the interest rate policies of Hong Kong banks. Local banks such as HSBC announced that they would not adjust interest rates, showing their confidence in the market.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority kept the base interest rate at 5.75% after the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting, which also affected the decision-making of local banks. Although market expectations may be lowered, banks are still choosing to "stand still" for now.
