Notes:

Figures are as at the end of the year.

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

(1) Figures are subject to revision to take into account any subsequent amendments submitted by authorised

institutions.

(2) Excluding loans for trade financing.

(3) The December 2018 figures for loans for use in Hong Kong have been restated to reflect authorised institutions' reclassification of working capital loans. As reclassified loan data before December 2018 is not available, the year-on- year growth rate of loans and advances for use in Hong Kong is calculated based on data that has not been reclassified, which is shown in Table 3.4 of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's Monthly Statistical Bulletin,
