Hong Kong Monetary Authority announces 2-year Exchange Fund Notes tender offering HK$1.2 billion at 2.23% interest rate, with settlement on February 23, 2026.

HKMA Schedules HK$1.2B Exchange Fund Notes Tender for February 20

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority will hold a HK$1.2 billion tender for 2-year Exchange Fund Notes on February 20, 2026, rolling over a maturing issue of the same tenor. The notes carry a fixed interest rate of 2.23% annually, paid semi-annually, with settlement scheduled for February 23.

Of the total offering, HK$1.195 billion has been allocated for competitive tender through Eligible Market Makers, while HK$5 million remains available for retail investors via non-competitive bids through Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited. Any undersubscribed retail portion will be added to the competitive allocation.

The notes mature on February 23, 2028, and will trade on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong starting February 24, 2026, under stock code 4108. Minimum tender amounts are set at HK$50,000 or multiples thereof for both competitive and non-competitive participants.

Yield and Pricing Context

At the stated 2.23% coupon rate, the notes price near par at approximately 100.02. The HKMA's published price/yield table shows pricing ranging from 101.98 at a 1.23% yield down to 98.13 at 3.23%, giving bidders a reference framework for competitive submissions.

Exchange Fund Notes serve dual purposes within Hong Kong's monetary framework. Beyond functioning as investment instruments, they form part of the Monetary Base supporting the Linked Exchange Rate System that pegs the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar. The Exchange Fund backing these notes held HK$4,151.4 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2025.

Market Participation

Retail investors must submit non-competitive bids through Stock Exchange Participants or directly via CCASS Investor Accounts. Competitive bidders are restricted to working through HKMA-appointed Eligible Market Makers listed on the authority's website.

Tender results will be published on the HKMA website, Refinitiv, and Bloomberg following the one-hour bidding window from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on February 20. The HKMA ceased issuing EFNs with tenors of three years or longer in 2015, making the 2-year notes the longest-dated regular offering in the program.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
