Summary:
This thesis is a study of the monetary control system in Hong Kong. One unique feature of that system is that it is without a central bank. Most economists have supposed that a monetary system without a central bank will be subject to price instability and inflation. The Hong Kong situation suggests that this need not be the case. Hong Kong's unique combination of bank and government controlled monetary practice provides an alternative way to accomplish the kind of monetary control that is found in economies with a central bank, like that in the United States. However, Hong Kong's monetary system is not without certain problems which could be remedied by corrective legislation but will in all probability be fundamentally changed after 1997 when Hong Kong passes into the control of China.
