PBOC's Pan said on July 7 at the Hong Kong Fixed Income and Currency Summit and Bond Connect Forum that the PBOC and HKMA previously established an RMB 800 bln standing swap and set an RMB 200 bln RMB business funding arrangement to supply Hong Kong banks with stable, lower‑cost medium‑to‑long‑term RMB liquidity.
