"The China Money Puzzle: Will Devaluation of the Yuan help or Hurt the Hong Kong Dollar?"
by Wei, S, L Liu, Zhi Wang and W Woo


Abstract
A Chinese yuan devaluation could affect the stability of the Hong Kong dollar. This paper studies two linkages. The first, trade balance effect is studied through a CGE model. The result shows that the net change in Hong Kong's foreign reserve after a yuan devaluation is in fact negligible. The second, psychological effect is studied by a survey of financial market participants. In spite of the small trade balance effect, all respondents believe that a yuan devaluation would lead to a panic selling of Hong Kong assets. Therefore, a yuan devaluation is bad for Hong Kong dollar primarily through market psychology.
