According to LERS, when the demand for Hong Kong dollars is greater than the supply and the market exchange rate strengthens to the strong-side CU of HKD7.75 to USD1, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) stands ready to sell Hong Kong dollars to banks for US dollars. The aggregate balance (a component of the monetary base) will then expand to push down Hong Kong dollar interest rates, creating monetary conditions that move the Hong Kong dollars away from the strong-side limit to within the convertibility zone of 7.75 to 7.85.

If the supply of Hong Kong dollars is greater than demand and the market exchange rate weakens to the weak-side CU of HKD7.85 to USD1 the HKMA stands ready to buy Hong Kong dollars from banks. The aggregate balance (a component of the monetary base) will then contract to drive Hong Kong dollar interest rates up, pushing the Hong Kong dollars away from the weak-side limit to stay within the convertibility zone.
