It represents a complete misunderstanding of how our balance of payments system works. Foreigners who come here do not bring Hong Kong dollars. They do not have them at home. They bring their own currencies and we then exchange them for Hong Kong dollars. This results in our holding their foreign currency denominated money, which we then spend or invest in their countries… … Net gain to us? … Nothing. ”
