The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announces that a tender
of 5-year Exchange Fund Notes will be held on Friday 19 March 2010
for settlement on Monday 22 March 2010.
A total of HK$1,000 million 5-year Notes will be on offer, of
which HK$5 million will be made available for offer to members of
the Public who wish to submit non-competitive tender bids through
Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (HKSCC). If the Notes
reserved for non-competitive tender are under-subscribed, the
non-subscribed amount will be added to the portion of notes for
competitive tender (initially set at HK$995 million). The Notes
will mature on 23 March 2015 and will carry interest at the rate of
1.75% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears.
Members of the public who wish to submit non-competitive tender

Stock Exchange Participants/Brokers, or for those who hold Investor
Accounts of the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) at
the HKSCC, directly through HKSCC, for submission to the HKMA for
processing. Competitive tender applications for the Notes must be
submitted through any of the Eligible Market Makers on the current

Each tender must be for an amount of HK$50,000 or integral
multiples thereof for both competitive and non-competitive
tender.
The tender results will be published on the HKMA's website, the
