Politicians Mulling Temasek-Style Hong Kong SWF

The fund could assist in bringing stability to the Hong Kong market and help with the government’s long-term investment plans.
Sovereign funding could stem from government budget surpluses, though some money could come from the HKMA’s exchange fund. In 2007, the idea gained some traction but was shot down since the exchange fund already served the purpose.
