With the introduction of the new Return on Loans and Advance and Provisions (as revised from the Return on Loans and Advances for Use in Hong Kong) as from December 1994, a number of Als have reclassified certain components. As a result, the figures are not strictly comparable with those of previous quarters. The percentage changes given in the brackets have been adjusted, so far as possible, to remove the reclassification effect and therefore cannot be calculated directly from the published figures.

The figures have been revised to account for subsequent amendments reported by Als.

This excludes funds advanced to authorized institutions.
