Hong Kong Sets 5% Interest Rate for Silver Bond Series 2026
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has fixed the fourth interest payment for the Silver Bond Series 2026 at 5% per annum, underscoring its commitment to stable returns for investors, particularly senior citizens. The rate, determined under the Retail Bond Issuance Programme, reflects a deliberate choice of the higher Fixed Rate over the Floating Rate—1.68% versus 5.00%—as of August 4, 2025.
This decision aligns with Hong Kong's strategy to provide secure investment avenues amid global market volatility. The Silver Bond Series, part of the Government Bond Programme, continues to serve as a cornerstone for low-risk portfolios, with the next payment scheduled for August 18, 2025.
