...Structure of the banking system Structure of the banking system Hong Kong’s banking sector comprises three tiers of authorized institutions (AIs): licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies. The main distinction between these three types of AIs lies in the activities they are allowed to conduct under the Banking Ordinance: • Only licensed banks may provide current and savings accounts; accept deposits of any size and maturity from the public, pay or collect cheques; and use the name “bank” without restriction. According to the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance, only licensed banks can, and are required to, join the Scheme as Members • Restricted licence banks, many of which are engaged in wholesale and capital market activities, may only take deposits from the public in amounts of HK$500,000 or above without restriction on maturity • Deposit-taking companies are restricted to taking deposits of HK$100,000 or above with an original term to maturity of at least three months. These companies are mostly owned by, or otherwise associated with, banks and engage in a range of specialised activities, including consumer and trade finance, and securities business. An overseas incorporated bank may establish a local representative office in Hong Kong, but it is not allowed to engage in any banking business and its role is confined mainly to liaison between the bank and its customers in Hong Kong.

However, 30 years later, great changes both inside and outside have taken place in Hong Kong. Now, a series of economic and social problems associated emerge with the Hong Kong's present exchange rate arrangement- linking HKD to USD. Is the dollar-linked exchange rate system still suitable for HK? Will the Hong Kong monetary authority have other better choices? In order to resolve the above questions, our report was divided into four main parts to analyze and discuss this issue. First, we discussed the reasons for choosing dollar- linked and also the disadvantages of linking HKD to USD that we assessed both in theory and fact. Then, we focused on the potential benefits of HKD linked with CNY before we analyzed the disadvantages. Later, we talked about a larger issue – dollarization and compared HK with Switzerland and Singapore before we came to our conclusions that HK should give up existed linking exchange rate system and adopt managed floating arrangement.

Spain’s Debt Problem The financial crises of Spain can be described as the sovereign debt problem, which is a large and continuous budget deficit feeding into its accumulated debt. From figure 1 we can see that fiscal consolidation hadn’t successfully made a recovery (see figure 1). Schwartz (2013) quoted that the net increase in debt in 2013 is expected to be €48 billion (HK$480 billion) and the gross issue of public debt €207.2 billion (HK$2085 billion). These are large sums compared with Spain’s GDP of €1.05 trillion (HK$10.69 trillion) 1. Figure 1 Source: Banco de España, General government liabilities. Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP) debt, 11.6.
