The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) reported on 28 July that the city's Exchange Fund—the de facto sovereign wealth reserve that underpins the Hong Kong dollar's stability—earned HK$134.7 billion in investment income for the first six months of 2026. That represents a 37% drop from the HK$214 billion recorded in the same period a year earlier, yet the headline figure masks a dramatic quarterly turnaround: the second quarter alone contributed HK$90.8 billion, a 107% surge from the first quarter's lacklustre HK$43.9 billion.

First, during the period when Hatoyama was in power, Japan was in the midst of a broad downturn in its economy—many things he wanted to do could not be carried out. Second, today's Japanese economy seems to have returned to a similar situation again, and right-wing forces are taking advantage of the moment.
