About the USD/HKD Pair

The Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the US dollar since 1983 under the Linked Exchange Rate System, one of the longest-running currency pegs in the world alongside the UAE dirham and Saudi riyal. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority keeps the rate within a narrow trading band by buying or selling currency as needed, which means USD/HKD moves in a much tighter range than freely-floating pairs — useful to know whether you're budgeting for business travel or managing Hong Kong-based finances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many HK dollars is $100?

Enter 100 into the amount field above with USD selected as "From" and HKD as "To" — because of the peg, this figure stays very stable over time.

Why is the Hong Kong dollar pegged to the US dollar?

Hong Kong adopted the Linked Exchange Rate System in 1983 to provide currency stability for its role as a major international financial and trading hub, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has maintained the peg within a narrow band ever since.

Does the peg mean I don't need to check rates before visiting?

The underlying peg keeps the mid-market rate very stable, but your bank or card issuer can still apply its own markup on top of it — it's worth checking the rate you're actually charged against the live mid-market figure shown here.
