  The Development of Hong Kong's Monetary Base (tdctrade.com)
Whatever the monetary policy objective might be, and in Hong Kong this is determined by the Financial Secretary on behalf of Government, achieving it requires a monetary management mechanism through which the responsible authority can exercise effective influence on the monetary base.
Before that, the Monetary Base had been, for a long time, on the balance sheet of a commercial bank, which understandably would not necessarily put the achievement of the monetary policy objective, whatever that might be, ahead of its commercial interests.
Although the Monetary Base and its control for achieving a monetary policy objective in Hong Kong are rather esoteric subjects, for those with an academic or professional interest in the monetary system of Hong Kong an awareness of this significant aspect of Hong Kong's monetary history is essential.

 Comments on the Third Hong Kong Monetary Authority Distinguished Lecture given by Monsieur Jean-Claude Trichet
When banks and corporates know that the exchange rate is floating, and may move in either direction, the incentive to borrow heavily overseas is sharply reduced - or at the least, the incentive to hedge the risks associated with overseas borrowing is greatly increased.
Greater transparency can be expected to increase the quality of economic policy and public and private sector decision-making, to sharpen the effectiveness of market discipline and to reduce the tendency for herd behaviour in currency and bond markets.
The development of international standards on transparency of fiscal, monetary and financial regulation policy by the IMF is a positive development in this context.
