What moves the HKD/CNY rate
The Hong Kong Dollar is mainly influenced by the Linked Exchange Rate System, which keeps the Hong Kong dollar between 7.75 and 7.85 per US dollar. The Chinese Yuan is mainly influenced by the People's Bank of China, which sets a daily reference rate and lets the yuan trade within a band around it. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the HKD/CNY rate moves; when they move together, the rate tends to stay steadier.
How this rate is calculated
Rates are fetched from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (updated once per working day), and from ExchangeRate-API for currencies the ECB does not cover. All rates are stored against the euro, so the HKD/CNY figure is a cross rate: the euro value of CNY divided by the euro value of HKD. These are indicative mid-market reference rates and may differ from the rates offered by banks, card issuers and payment providers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HKD to CNY?
Enter an amount in Hong Kong Dollar and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily HKD/CNY reference rate to show the value in Chinese Yuan. To go the other way, CNY to HKD, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the HKD to CNY rate come from?
Rates come from Frankfurter, which republishes daily European Central Bank reference rates, with ExchangeRate-API filling in currencies the ECB does not publish. They are cached in your browser for up to an hour.
Is this the HKD to CNY rate my bank will give me?
No. These are mid-market, indicative rates. Banks, card providers and transfer services usually add a margin or fee, so the Chinese Yuan you actually receive is typically a little lower.
