Notes: Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.

(1) Figures are revised on a monthly basis to take into account any subsequent amendments submitted by authorised institutions.

(2) As from June 2002, short-term Exchange Fund placements of less than one month are included under time deposits as part of the monetary aggregates. The revised data series are backdated to April 1997. As such, figures of end 1997 cannot be compared directly with those of previous years.

(3) Excluding loans for trade financing.
