Hong Kong maintains base interest rate amid Middle East conflict

The decision reflects the consideration of global economic conditions influenced by the Middle East conflict, but it shows stability in monetary policy amidst uncertainty.

Hong Kong's Monetary Authority decided to keep its base rate unchanged at 4% following a similar decision by the US Federal Reserve. Analysts noted that ongoing conflict in the Middle East is contributing to uncertainties about the pace of interest rate cuts this year.
