		The peg to the Hong Kong dollar and thus indirectly to the U.S. dollar has also resulted in an effective appreciation of the pataca, particularly in relation to the devalued currencies of countries in the region.
		One possible major disadvantage is that the effective appreciation of the pataca and high real interest rates may hamper both the Territory's economic recovery and the Government's efforts to diversify the economy.
