Feb 2 (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings said on
Thursday it was leaving its best lending rate in Hong Kong
unchanged at 5.625%, despite a raise by the city's de facto
central bank in the base rate charged through its overnight
discount window.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) raised its base rate
by 25 basis points to 5.0% early on Thursday, hours after the
U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a rate hike of the same margin.
