TO give better financial information to the public, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) yesterday launched its first monthly statistical bulletin on monetary and banking activities.
The bulletin is a collection of all statistics about the territory's financial markets.
Some were previously published by the Census and Statistics Department, such as money supply and breakdown on loans, while others are new items.
Published for the first time was Hong Kong dollar interbank market turnover and all money market operations.
The bulletin revealed the average daily turnover of the interbank market in June reached $113.8 billion.
Stripping swap transactions, the amount would have been $82.4 billion, a sharp jump over the figure in November 1992, the first time the territory had a glimpse of these numbers.
