In this week's episode, we will talk about China’s Foreign Exchange Reform. Despite HKD’s official prohibition in mainland China, the hong kong currency was widely accepted and even preferred by mainland’s restaurant owners, shopkeepers, and taxi drivers, the Chinese authorities themselves also showed a preference for HKD. Professor Taomo Zhou from the National University of Singapore will tell us more about the pivotal chapter in the history of China’s foreign exchange reform. She was invited by The University of Hong Kong to give a talk entitled “Special Zone Currency: Shenzhen’s Monetary Experiment and China’s Foreign Exchange Reform.”
