| Notes: Hong
Kong dollar is the legal tender in the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special |
|
Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China". Foreign
currency refers to any currency other than the Hong Kong currency. |
|
Accordingly Chinese Renminbi is also treated as foreign
currency. |
